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.).

United StatesLittle not to like. One thing of note is that it is a lot of stairs to the jr suite room, but we knew this ahead of time so it was fine. The private room with amazing balcony is worth it.
Amazing view from the jr suite room with awesome private balcony. Strong AC unit. Comfy bed. ou’re in your own little tower with a view of Literally the entire city.

CanadaI really appreciated the host letting me in and offering me a place to sleep but was very upset that there was no food. I felt over-tired , overwhelmed and very hungry in a strange city
Unfortunately my plane was redirected to Bologna, and I had to travel by bus to Firenze where I was lucky enough to share a taxi. Arrived at B&B after 1 am It was all the way up the stairs. No message left on door. I was extremely tired and not sure what to do. I kept ringing the bell and fortunately my host finally welcomed me inside. No time to shower or eat Check out time at 10. I had coffee and a biscuit and walked to the train station to catch a train to Assisi which stopped due to bad weather and we were all rescued and led down a steep hill. Then walked to highway to catch a bus to Perugia where I had to buy another train ticket to Assisi which stopped and then I was unable to see a taxi. A very suspicious young man called me a taxi there and this time I arrived before 11 pm at Hotel Sole

United StatesI chose a room that did not have its own bathroom within...had to leave the room and use a bathroom in the hall. No worries, but it had no air-conditioning, and was hot and humid.
Best thing about Artemente Florence is its hostess, Anna Maria. She is kind, personable and helpful. Above and beyond what other hotels offer.

South KoreaThe host, Anna Maria, was very kind and gave great tips on tourist attractions and local places to eat. My room was clean and cozy, in a great location close to the sights, and the AC kept it cool even im the summer heat of over 30 degrees. I stayed in a street-view room, but with Anna Maria's permission, I checked out the balcony room. The view was absolutely stunning. Highly recommended!

United StatesWe loved everything.
This incredible place is exceptionally situated. The distance from the train station is a 5 to 7-minute walk . Basilica di San Lorenzo is accessible within an 8-minute walk. The room is big, beautiful, and well equipped. The bathroom is spacious and features an excellent shower. Host Ana Maria possesses an exceptionally benevolent nature. She is a beautiful lady with a great smile. She ensured we felt welcomed from start to finish. I will certainly return.

HungaryExpect small old elevator, steep stairs to go up to the rooftop suite, and the room is just enough for a couple - it's fully worth and exciting, I just say to be aware and manage expectations. For us it was really cozy!
The rooftop suite that has full panorama view from its balcony is simply sensational, gorgeous. You just want to sit here (with a fine wine maybe) and watch the city from above. Exceptional, memorable experience, really good choice for a honeymoon.

MaltaThe lift was on the small side.
The location is fantastic, close to the train station, which means you don’t have to carry your luggage around the narrow streets of Florence. The room was large ands spacious, and the B&B is charming with cute personal touches. The host is awesome, giving out tips and hints on how to enjoy Florence like a local.

Wow! 🤩 please book the junior suite with the balcony. It’s possibly the best place we’ve ever stayed! Amazing! Especially in a heatwave. The breeze was lovely. The views and the sunset are stunning! If you struggle with steps though possibly not as they are very narrow and steep . Wasn’t a problem for us at all though . It added to the quaintness. Thank you Anna we loved our stay! 🧡

AustriaThe B&B is located in a beautiful old building within comfortable walking distance from the Santa Maria Novella train station. The location is ideal - close enough to be in walking distance to most tourist attractions but not too close so that it gets loud at night. A period elevator with an elegant wrought iron gate takes you to the third floor, where the B&B is. In typical Italian palazzo style, it has very high ceilings and the floors are tiled, which makes it easy to maintain a cool and pleasant temperature even when it's hot outside. The atmosphere is friendly and cozy, made even more so by the long shelves carrying art pieces which stretch along the main hallway, and the art supplies hanging from the walls. The room is furnished in a practical manner, with a spacious fridge (larger than your average hotel minibar), TV and water kettle with tea/coffee. The bathroom is equipped with a large shower and a bidet. The nights are quiet, no cars or loud partygoers making noise outside. The bed was comfortable, and there were more than enough good pillows. The manager, Anna Maria, is absolutely lovely and very attentive: she provided me with a map with all her tips and hidden gems which greatly improved my visit to Florence, and was always ready to help, whether with a restaurant reservation or with calling a taxi. She knows how to make a guest feel special. I had a wonderful stay and would stay there again anytime!
