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.).

AustraliaPillows. Very large and hard. Need to have thin, squishy pillows.
Location is so convenient for train and coach. Welcoming staff. Little extras in the lounge area. Super quiet even though so close to trains.

We had a wonderful stay at this B&B! The location was perfect—within walking distance to many attractions, and there were some excellent beef restaurants nearby. Our room was spacious, and the air conditioning worked efficiently, keeping us comfortable. The owner Martha was very friendly and gave us plenty of helpful suggestions. We also appreciated the free biscuits and coffee—a nice little treat! The only minor downside was the noise from the nearby tram line, but it didn’t spoil our overall experience. Would definitely recommend for a pleasant and convenient stay!

Our stay was absolutely wonderful! The accommodation was spotless and comfortable. The location was perfect, because it was near the congress centre "Fortezza da basso", and the amenities provided made our experience even better. We especially loved the free coffee and snacks available all the time—it was such a nice touch! The host was incredibly welcoming and attentive, ensuring we had everything we needed.

Our host Marta was so friendly and helpful, she was happy to give us tips and suggestions on places to see and places to eat - both popular and more ‘off the beaten track’. Definitely recommended!

We arrived later than the check in desk being open but we were sent instructions on the check in process via WhatsApp and it was easy to access our rooms after this. Would love to visit again someday and would defo recommend staying here!

United KingdomFor those seeking scandi-style modern decor and twinkling fountains in expansive courtyards—then Tiffany may not be for them. It’s not a ‘corporate venue’ but it doesn’t pretend to be. It is Italy. Coming from the UK and born in rural England but living in London, there are ‘horses for courses’ and Tiffany is just great in that respect. There are lots of swanky hotels on offer in Florence, but after a hard day’s graft (sightseeing or lecturing) it’s nice hit the pillow somewhere where you aren’t just a number but feel somehow valued above that. My opinion is that Tiffany was absolutely ideal for me and my daughter. So accommodating. Maybe it’s not everyone’s Cup of Tea, but then again some people don’t like fresh tomatoes but will readily squirt ketchup until the bottle is empty.
It is modest, but that’s its strength. We were staying (my daughter and I) to exhibit at Pitti Fragranze, nearby, so the location was perfect. The cleanliness of the room was spotless and the snack breakfast bar was modest but perfectly yummy and more so as our colleagues who spent significantly more on their hotels were not able to partake in their hotel breakfast and did not enjoy the selection of yummies and teas etc that were available at Tiffany. Tiffany are very generous in that regard. Others get just one or two teabags and coffee capsules in their rather expensive rooms, whereas we had loads (and well thought out yummies and treats) to ‘grab and go.’ So I am left with a great feeling of value and an understanding of convenience. Whether you are a tourist or a business delegate, Tiffany makes you feel ‘hi at home’ once you arrive and once upon return you take the keys from your pocket and walk over the threshold. There’s a nice little private garden outside too BTW. It may not be palatial, but when you turn the key, you relax, which may be what you crave. It’s a good, honest, well presented and very lovely place, not sterile with carp ponds, fountains and ‘sun rooms’ that are devoid of guests—but full of heart. This is no better personified than by the lovely Marta who coordinates the bookings, check ins and outs and goodness knows how much else—who looked after me and my daughter when our modest flight from London turned into a 19hr ordeal, meaning check in was after hours. She send videos to walk us through and recommended local places to eat etc. she’s ’one of life’s good ones’ as they say. She really didn’t have to, but I sense that she is the perfect lady to have taken us under her wing and enjoyed being a good soul. A difficult day suddenly changed with Martha and Tiffany into a ‘thank you’ day. Plus I got to tell my daughter (she’s a grown up btw) that we’d had ‘breakfast at Tiffany’s’ (Dad joke, sorry)!

United StatesWe only stayed for one day in Florence, but this hotel met nearly all of our expectations. Although they do not have breakfast, snacks and coffee are provided instead. The host, Marta, is very lovely and friendly. She provided us with a lot more information that is helpful for tourists to discover the city in a short duration of stay, including the map, walk routes, the restaurants and street foods, etc. You can walk to most of the sights in 20 mins. Additionally, the railway station is also near here, within a 7-minute walk. (If you have heavy luggage with you, try to find the lifts instead of going downstairs at the nearest entrance; it was painful)
