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.).

AustraliaNothing Expectations exceeded
The 3rd floor Apartment was easily accessible by stairs and as we are Seniors didn’t find the climb difficult. Recently nicely refurbished quite large 1 bedroom with private bathroom apartment , 10 metres walk to Piazza and 16 minutes walk to Florence train station. Stayed 5 nights in most comfortable large double bed with daily service and replaced impeccably clean towels.In summary a very slick managed hospitality business a pleasure to have experienced. Breakfast was included and the cafe 10 metres away from the lovely B&B served a substantial early meal of fresh squeezed orange juice , cold glassed water , cup of hot sensational tasting coffee ( second cup was offered )toast and jam , and the best for last 4 mini croissants with different sweet fillings. We enjoyed the 360 degrees view of Piazza della Signoria whilst relaxing and simply devouring the excellent breakfast offerings whilst people watching. Thank you Caffe Pereso with special mention of very attentive waiters Vincento and Valentino. These happy fellows surpassed the expected balance of service levels without you feeling fussed over. They are professionals with exceptional skills.

United StatesAs all showers in Europe are, the shower was small for my comfort, but definitely didn’t make a big deal.
LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION! The Bed and breakfast is in a central location. You are a few steps away from all the major attractions and sites. It was amazing to wake up and walk to La piazza Della signora where breakfast was included at Bar Perseo. It was spectacular. My wife and I had an amazing time in Florence and would recommend this bed and breakfast to family and friends.

BrazilTwo small things to notice if that is relevant for you: 1) the b&b is at the third floor of a building without a lift, so you will have to carry the bags for some stairs. 2) the b&b is located nearby a square that has very nice artists playing in the night until 11pm. Since it is a very crowded place, some may find a little bit noisy at night.
The staff was very welcoming and supportive during the entire stay. The owner Gianpierre was also very welcoming at the breakfast served at caffe Perseo, which was very good. The location of the b&b is great, you can arrive at any relevant firenze place in less then 25min walking. Good comfort and cleaning.
