Each review score is between 1-10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We use a weighted review system which means that the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate ‘subscores’ in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money and free Wi-Fi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their overall scores independently, so there’s no direct link between them.
You can review an Accommodation that you booked through our Platform if you stayed there or if you arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise in detecting fake reviews submitted to our Platform. If we find any, we delete them and, if necessary, take action against whoever is responsible.
Anyone else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.
Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include 'hate speech', discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, and the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.
All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.
Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and similar details.
The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.
By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

Israel1. The shower has an open roof to the second floor - was funny (I scared my husband to death) but in case someone uses the bathroom the smell goes right to the second floor bedroom. 2. In case you come as 2 couples I think this apartment won't be good for you since there is no privacy between the 2 bed rooms. Also I think for winter it would have been nice if there was tea and sugar in the kitchen. Small things that would make a difference. Other than that the apartment is great
The best thing about this apartment is the location and the roof top. It is in the middle of Florence and the view of the roof top is breath taking. We was in the weekend and we didn't hear any noises at all. Inside the apartment is very quiet. The apartment was clean and had everything we needed (clean soft towels, soap, almost everything in kitchen that you might need, extra blankets, all A.C was working great, Hair dryer and so on) We had great time in the apartment and the kitchen is original and beautiful. The hosts were super nice and gave all info so that it would be easy to find the apartment and everything you need before coming - thank you that was very helpful and the checking went smooth. We really enjoyed our time and the staying in this apartment was great!

United KingdomOnly minor criticisms, Not enough plug sockets, needed table lamp in bedroom, needs hooks in bathroom to hang towels, plus a grab rail to safely get out of shower due to toilet blocking access. I think if these points were addressed it would make it more practical for travellers.

United StatesThe rooftop terrace was worth every penny! It is one of the highest buildings around and gave a great view of the city, as well as the Duomo of Florence and Santa Maria del Fiore Cathedral. The apartment is very unique. In the bedroom, you have a second bed in a loft above. It has air conditioning on every room. I would highly recommend this apartment to anyone.

South AfricaThe construction of the building entrance and the stairwell is such that it appears gloomy, if not a bit eerie. But don't let this deter you from the comfort of the apartment.
This is an excellent location for (first time) visitors to Firenze. The Duomo is literally on your doorstep and there are lots of nice restaurants and shops close by. It is also very close to attractions such as Uffizi and Accademia Gallery.

AustraliaThe 2 rooms are connected as they do not have a wall to separate. The rooms, although on separate levels, are only separate by a curtain, this was not an issue for us but might be for other people as there isn't much privacy in regards to noise. The bathroom configuration was very tight, especially getting into the shower, I felt like I was stepping over the toilet to get into the shower. Despite this, the bathroom is clean and functional.
It is a lovely apartment in a fantastic location in Florence. Travelled with a baby and elderly mother, the apartment had everything we needed to make our stay comfortable and memorable. The kitchen was nice, and we had a lovely bottle of wine waiting for us, which was a thoughtful gesture. We used the washing machine and hung our clothes in the little balcony area, which was so handy. We had a wonderful stay in Florence. Duomo is such a great little apartment, a great location, and amazing views from the top floor

IndiaWe had chosen options for 4 adults. This property is more suitable for a couple with 2 children, as the second bedroom is in the loft overlooking the main bedroom. This was not evident in the pictures available online. Hence no privacy between the 2 rooms. Also,only 1 bathroom, which had to be shared by us, and no lock/latch on the bathroom door. Was a bit of a juggle.
The location was perfect ! Right next to the Duomo and main shopping streets. Duomo was about 50 ft from the main door. Most of the good restaurants and gelatos were stone throw away. It couldn't get better location wise. A lift was available in the building to carry us and our baggage to our floor. Some basic toiletries were provided in the bathroom.

AustraliaThe apartment itself is.. not great. The pictures do it lots of favours but in reality a lot of expense has been spared because, well, the location! Getting out of the shower can be dangerous, be careful. The manager was friendly but only provided instructions on accessing the impressive roof vista after we had left. There were no extra garbage bags. No oven.
Location, you'll have trouble finding a better location in Florence.

United StatesThe apartment was lacking a few things. We only had one cutting knife, no coffee pods, no paper towels, one roll of extra toilet paper, etc. For light sleepers, the doors in the building are metal. They close loudly. I still recommend the apartment, but bring earplugs. Pretty much everywhere in Europe will require you to have them unless you have a standalone house. Note: be kind to your neighbors and try to close doors quietly! It matters when you have close neighbors!
You can't beat the location. Seriously, it's as close as you can get to the Duomo without being a Bishop! :) Lots of space in the apartment. The rooftop terrace is amazing! Beat the crowds down below and stare at the Duomo in private with a bottle of wine!

AustraliaThe Apartment itself was serviceable. It has all the facilities, but the layout is a little strange. The loft bedroom overlooks the second bedroom, not great if you're not related. The bathroom was small and cramped. A small Kitchen meals area, families will struggle. It was a blessing to have air conditioning.
Quaint apartment right next Duomo, great location. All the restaurants nearby are good and priced to match. The view from the upper terrace is amazing. If you get a chance, climb the Duomo stairs to the top. It's an amazing experience.

United StatesThe truth is, the apartment needs some work. I had to fix the sink because the water was running and wouldn't drain. There's a hole in the bathroom that leads up to the second bedroom on the second floor, very annoying... the bathroom is very uncomfortable; you literally have to enter sideways. All the furniture is very poorly secured; I thought it would fall over at any moment. For the high price we paid, we expected something better.
The location is super good, everything is close by and quiet. Everything is within walking distance; you can reach all the attractions in just a few minutes.

United Kingdomthis is not really a 2 bedroom property. it has 2 sleeping areas separated by a curtain. As my friend and I have different sleeping patterns, it did not work for us, eg you can hear movements form the other sleeping area, if light is on it shines in both sleeping areas. Therefore we both had disrupted sleep. The details about the apartment should be more explicit about the sleeping arrangements - ie the areas are not separated by a wall.
excellent location and host very helpful
