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.).

Best location by far. 5 minutes from Ufizzi and ponte vecchio. The most amazing location, around the corner from all of the crowds, yet quiet and peaceful. Great local Pizza restaurant 20m across the road. Might be a little more expensive than usual but so worthwhile.

United StatesCheck in was a little odd. You have to check with the person in the cafe below the Benci House rooms in order to obtain the key.
The room was very contemporary and nice. Bed was comfortable. Location was great.

United KingdomRoom is a bit small on floor space but with the high ceilings it doesn’t feel cramped. Only feedback is that the air conditioner is next to the window, so if you need to draw the curtains close the cold air won’t really flow into the room. Fridge doesn’t get that cold, it’s very hot when you open the cupboard where it’s located so might be due to circulation.
Perfect location, beautiful interiors, super comfy bed. Easy check in. Coffee and water facilities were great. The room is decorated tastefully. They even provide bathrobes, slippers and all the toiletries/vanity kit you might need.

GermanyBenci House is a little Boutiquespot with designerrooms in a perfect location. Lots of sightseeing spots are in walking distance. Places to grab food or a vino to go are just around the corner. You can grab espresso and water throughout the day in the entryroom. We arrived by car and Alessandra helped with parking the car in the parking garage nearby. We really had a perfect stay in florence.

United StatesAir conditioner was not easy to turn on and internet was very unstable and did not work in the room. We werr there for only 2 days and there wasn’t enough time to be fixed. Not an ideal place if the guest has any mobility issues since there are a few steps to be climbed with bags.
Amazing location, very clean, staff super friendly, beautiful decoration.

GreeceThere was a learning curve required to learn how to adjust the heat of the water when we had to take a shower. It was tricky to get the right temperature. The Internet connection in the room was also not consistent, while in the lobby area, it wasn't a problem at all.
Very nice room, nicely decorated, very comfortable bed, excellent location, quiet.

United KingdomI think the room and bathroom were a bit dark even when all the lights were on. Difficult when you need to do your make up. And if your suitcase is a bit heavy, it is a bit difficult to take it up or down as there is not lift as is an old building.

Hong KongMaybe just the stairs if you have a lot to carry with you. Though breakfast could be provided at Moyo, it serves from 8am (9am for hot dishes like the eggs) only.
The decor was very nice. Sofia was very responsive to messages and made very flexible check-in and out arrangements. The location is central which makes sightseeing pretty easy, there are lots of good restaurants nearby too. The breakfast served downstairs at Moyo was great.
