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.).

AustraliaEverything was great.
Fantastic location. Walkable from the station and yet 1 minute from the quiet street Via Faenze that leads you to the heart of the city, lined with trattorias and small shops. We had a double room with a large bathroom and loved the flexibility of the shared kitchen. Room 6 is large and the air conditioning is great. There is wardrobe storage and a good sized fridge for water/juice etc. the bed is nice and firm and the TV has Netflix, Amazon etc. Friendly staff and clean rooms. Would highly recommend.

United KingdomThe walls were a bit thin, so I could occasionally hear neighbours, but that’s quite typical for buildings in Florence and didn’t affect my overall experience.
The property was clean, well-equipped, and ideally located near the city centre, not even a 3 min walk to the train station, so it was super convenient. Host was also very responsive and accommodating, even with my late check in time. I had such a lovely stay, I’ll be sure to return.

AustraliaI was sharing a bathroom and some other people staying there (there were 3 rooms) kept leaving puddles of water on the bathroom floor but that was not the fault of the hosts, who had the bathroom cleaned at least daily.
Marco's Way at Cennini 6 is well designed and well run budget accommodation 5 minutes' walk from the main railway station and 10-15 minutes' walk from Flotence's spectacular cultural attractions (including the Duomo, the San Lorenzo chapels and the Uffizi gallery),. Walking through the cobblestone alleys to the central attractions, you pass alongside the fabulous food markets and go through the leatherwork stalls, and it is not far to fanous jewellery shops on the Pont Vecchio. My bedroom was large and comfortably laid out, I had good wifi and access to a shared bathroom and a well provisioned kitchen. It has the beige vibe of a youth hostel more than someone's home, which was fine by me. The hosts were both fluent in English and helpful in every way.

The shared space was nice and a good spot to meet the guys and get local info. Excellent location everything site seeing for us an easy walk away, with buses and trains just across the road.

United StatesThere was nothing I didn't like, EVERYTHING went smoothly and pleasantly!! Musta is a great host with a natural gift for warm hospitality: Clearly he loves this fabulous city deeply, and he wants to help visitors relish Florence too, giving us the best tips and always curious to hear about our adventures here. You may well find yourself wishing to stay here in this lovely city and be a Florentine like its profoundly fortunate citizens!
I loved the whole experience of staying at the Ceninni 6, from the host's friendly greeting and hospitality, and his tips about the finest sites in this fabulous city he knows so completely, to the perfectly clean apartment! It's secure and quiet; Musta makes you feel at home in the hotel and in this lovely, classic city! Sophia keeps it so shining clean that I'd eat off the floor if a crumb of fine Florentine cuisine fell on it, and the bathroom shower is awesome, spacious and equipped with a broad showerhead freely delivering warm water quickly, and so broadly it feels like you're standing in Summer rain! This place is really an excellent bargain and a fine base from which to explore the truly marvelous city of Firenze aka Florence. You'll need at least a week to savor this delightful paradise, so don't hesitate to book a good number of nights at a nice place you can trust, the Ceninni 6!!!

United StatesThe memory foam pillows are nice, but they go flat quite quickly. not a comfy experience if you like to lounge in bed and read. There tends to be people who like to hang out and talk late into the night outside the building. But the building itself is quiet.
The use of the kitchen was great, and the fridge in your room was quite big. The bed was very comfy. Bathroom was very nice. Everything was clean. There was also a laundry service available which I did not take advantage of,but thought it very convienent. The hosts and staff are lovely, and very helpful.

KyrgyzstanI would add some soundproofing, if possible. Room on the 1st floor closest to the bathroom: you'll hear the door opening and shower sounds. I used earplugs.
The best staff ever (thank you guys), super attentive to all your needs. They even prepared and shared morning coffee. The location is very convenient, not much noise from the street. You'll find everything you need in the kitchen, separate refrigerator in the room. Great organised and great experience.

United KingdomI did not like that I had to leave ((, I wish i stayed longer, I definitely will be coming back . ))
The hosts are charming, and the ceilings are high beamed.Bed is comfortable. Outside noise is negligible, thought it is close to the S.Maria Novella station. The train station at the late hours feels relatively safe compared with many cities in Europe. Once in Bremen, I stayed in an expensive hotel close to the train station to be woken up every night by the fighting homeless crowd noise )).So I was a bit aprihensive)). This place is quiet,and , feels secure enough. There are not many guests to share the kitchen with, and it is spacious. I shared the bathroom with one other quiet guest ,it was not a problem. It felt like I had the place all to myself anyway. There weren't just the basics but some luxuries: good coffee was appreciated, thank you hosts! Good tips were given on routes, food, and attractions. Very friendly place. Would choose it over any pretentious hotel any time.
