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.).

CanadaWe had a wonderful two-night stay at B&B The Lux. The location was perfect—just a short and pleasant walk to the city centre, making it easy to explore everything on foot. Our room was very clean, and the air conditioning was an absolute blessing during the August heat. What truly made our stay special, however, was the hospitality. Lorenzo and his parents were incredibly kind, welcoming, and attentive, making us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. We also enjoyed the breakfast, which offered a lovely variety of fresh and tasty options. Overall, it was a delightful experience, and we would happily stay here again.

GreeceEverything was great
We truly enjoyed our stay at this property. From the moment we arrived, everything was clean, well-maintained, and thoughtfully prepared. The space felt welcoming and comfortable, with all the amenities we could possibly need. The location was perfect—close to everything we wanted to explore, yet peaceful enough for a relaxing getaway. We especially appreciated the little touches, such as [personalized extras or standout features—e.g., fresh flowers, stocked kitchen, local guide recommendations], which made the stay feel even more special. The host’s communication was prompt, friendly, and helpful throughout, making the entire experience smooth and stress-free. We would happily return and highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a wonderful place to stay.

ChinaAlthough it’s been over half a month since my trip to Florence, I still fondly remember my stay here. The room was cozy and spacious, the host was incredibly helpful, and meeting the host’s elegant mother was a highlight—she even made us coffee! Their warmth and kindness made my time in Florence unforgettable. I hope they can visit China someday. Highly recommend!

United StatesNone to comment but I would have preferred to eat protein for breakfast (two eggs -scrambled or fried) as I always prefer protein for breakfast. Not an issue since I was on vacation but not on a business trip. I was comfortable with the lovely sandwiches and a croissant!
Very clean and comfortable bed, clean sheets, good quality pillows, clean bath room with hot water and large shower. Beautiful interiors, beautiful ceiling with exposed beams, felt like my own living room! Closer proximity to the train station, metro and restaurants. Everything is closer (walkable distance). Lorenzo and his Mom were very helpful, friendly, and always tried to keep us comfortable. They prepared and served breakfast on time, excellent cappuccino caldo was our favorite. Juices, croissants, sandwiches etc for a good breakfast. Love this place.

United StatesThere are a LOT of mosquitoes in Firenze this time of year, and we constantly had mosquitoes in our room even though we kept our window closed at all times. There is a limit to what the owner can do about it but I think some additional measures need to be made!
The location is great (10 min walk from the train station) and the room was surprisingly spacious, clean and modern. Lorenzo and his mom are lovely and very attentive. It is quite a small B&B, so you will hear other people early in the morning and some doors closing.
