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.).

SwitzerlandNo Parking available, even though the listing clearly advertises it. The staff instead gave us a name of a parking garage nearby (3-5 Min. walk) which was around EUR 35.00 per night. Still a good option, however not as listed. We weren’t the biggest fans of the bed and pillows, however for one night and the price it’s more than fine.
We really liked the location of the property, as it’s still quite close to the city center without being too busy. The staff was very welcoming and nice. I would recommend this stay to anyone looking for a stay in Florence which doesn’t break the bank.

The location of the guest house was perfect. That area is very peaceful, the river is just 2 minutes walk away and the city centre is just in a short walking distance. It was easy check-in and I could keep my suitcase there after check -out. The room was very clean and spacious.

RomaniaAlthough we booked the room in june, having breakfast included, we were announced that the place does not cover the breakfast anymore. Following this statement, we expected a lower price for our staying but there was no change. If you plan on sleeping during the day, there is a lot of noise, especially from the entrance door and the people moving around. We announced our check-in interval to be between 10-11 and one day before our arrival we were asked to confirm this interval which we did again. Despite this, we arrived at 10.20 and our room was not ready. We had to wait for an hour for the room to be cleaned and prepared for our stay.
The room was clean and looked like in the pictures. The location is also good, especially if you wanna see the main attractions of Florence. Overall it met our expectations in matter of looks and confort.

United KingdomNo converter plugs. We forgot to buy a European plug before going on holiday. We assumed that the guest house would provide one, but they couldn’t. This is a small inconvenience that they can easily correct.
The lady on reception was very helpful, polite and courteous. She allowed us to check in early and leave our bags. She also allowed us to leave our bags after we checked out. This enabled us to take a later train. Her level of customer service was excellent. The location was great. It is a few minutes walk from the train station and a 10-15 minute walk to all of the main attractions. It also felt like a safe area. It was clean and comfortable. I would stay again.

AustraliaNothing!
The room was very very spacious and clean, and it was walkable to the Santa Maria Novella Station (perks as well that the path was a lot easier to roll our suitcases on than the cobbled streets of the old town). It was a bit further from the main landmarks of Florence but we picked it as it was close to where our rental car pick up was the next morning. The hosts were also very helpful and flexible as our arrival was delayed due to train strikes.
