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.).

SwitzerlandThere was no extra plug to charge our phones, so had to unplug the bedside table lamp. Was a bit unconvenient to only use the main lamp which you can only turn off by the door.
The size of the room is big comfortable. Really liked the windows with the double shade.

LithuaniaBeds were extremely uncomfortable because of really hard mattress and pillow. Moreover, building is quite sound-permeable, so if you sleep and someone get back to their room - you will hear locking door and etc.
Staff was great and really pleasant, also the opportunity to leave the luggage in lobby after check out is a big favour, if you have later flight.

RomaniaUpon entering, the room smelled too strong of perfume (not a bad smell, just too strong). The room was a bit cold on the first night. After that, the host showed me how to turn on the heating, but I still felt it could have been better.
The room looks exactly like in the photos. You have a mini fridge and a kettle in the room, which were very useful. The location, although not in the city center, was close to the train station. The area is quiet and I felt safe. I walked everywhere. The host was very nice and receptive to every inquiry I had.

AustraliaFor its price I thought that it was pretty good value and I would recommend the location and the place. I went and stayed at a place closer to the Duomo after I spent my one night there and that had its upside but I thought that this position allowed a visitor to gain a more original Florentine experience. I would stay there again.
I booked the room at short notice and was able to get into Florence later at night. There was some confusion with notification between myself and the management but we managed to meet and I was shown my room. I was pleasantly surprised at the size and cleanliness. It is in a part of the city that is not as commonly used by tourists and I liked that aspect of the position. I went to the Rusty Bar and has a few beers after I arrived later in the evening and it was also very pleasant and the host was also very nice. I enjoyed that. It is also opposite a kebab shop and that was also OK.

United StatesThe bathroom needs a freshing up. Paint peeling and smelled like pee. I was only here less than 24hrs so it was fine for what I needed. I don’t like they asked to have me rate it a 10 without asking me about the stay.
It was close the bus station. The room was as described and I was able to leave my bag before check in.

AustraliaThe property is close to the tram, essentially right outside the door. This can pose a problem if you are a light sleeper as they run till midnight and start again at 5.am. Shower isn’t the greatest but does the job.
Check in was smooth and the host was polite and helpful. The room was very clean and well presented. The property is centrally located. Far enough away from the centre but close enough to walk to all amenities including the train station and where the tour buses a caught, 5-10 mins walk. The beds were comfortable and a fridge,kettle and hairdryer were provided.

The staff Is really helpful and always available also for last minute requests. The location is strategic if you want to stay close to the station and have very little time to explore the city. The room is small but comfortable and well cleaned and has everything you need. The balcony and A/C is a plus. Good value for the money.
