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.).

HungaryWe had some issue, but we were able to communicate with the owner, and he solved it the same day. The bed was not very comfortable, and it was also noisy.
The room was clean. Check-in was easy, and we got all the necessary information. Well located, good value for the price.

AustraliaThrough no fault of the property at all, there was really loud music playing until 2am on a Friday night in the nearby square, we needed earplugs to sleep.
Located in a nice area, a short walk to a number of attractions. Our room was a comfortable size, very clean and had everything we needed for our stay. A washing machine is also available in the common area if needed. Staff were very lovely and accommodating, and it was easy to leave bags before and after our stay. A web-based door unlocking system was also a great for the doors in the building. The tourist tax is already included in the rate as well, where other properties in Italy required us to pay additional cash for this purpose.

United KingdomThe room we stayed in was a bit small for 2 people, the bathroom was small to have a shower, especially without a shower head. The towel rack and the tower hook were in the shower which created less space for a shower. The floor noise was a bit loud where you can hear people walking and you can hear people talking.
The host was super nice and supportive, the location was great, the place was clean. Easy to access.

GermanyCozy room in the historic part of the city. Instructions were all clear and friendly. Gastronomy and public transportation nearby, airport is easily accessible. Room recommended for couples or singles, for two full grown men it is rather small, but we were aware of that. In the area you have to be aware that there can be a lot going on in the evening. The night we left, there was a party on the street that went on until 3:00 am. However, the room cannot be held responsible for this. The rooms themselves were rather quiet.

CyprusHeating in the room works on its own schedule and at max 20-21 Celsius that was not very comfortable for us.
Great host, very old building with its own history, location on a foot distance to main attractions, restaurants, supermarket on the corner, shared kitchen with everything you may need. Good lighting with various options to change atmosphere. Super comfortable mattress and pillows. Toiletries are of a very good quality. Local restaurants recommended by Riccardo deserve visiting! The map and guidance of the host helped us to see even more than we initially planned :) I felt like service of hotel and hospitality of a family here. We would definitely come back again!

CyprusAs the building is quite old, the soundproofing is not the best and you can hear other people. The bathroom is also quite small, but since the building is from the 18th century is understandable. Nonetheless, I would definitely recommend this place.
The location was excellent, in the centre and it felt a bit locally as well. The building was well preserved and it felt safe. Ricardo as a host was excellent. He welcomed us on our first day, gave us tips about places to eat and on our last day he treated us to breakfast at a beautiful cafe across the street with inside garden. The apartment was on the second floor and there is no elevator, so if you have big luggage it would be a bit difficult, but for us it was fine.

United KingdomThe walls are very thin so you can often hear what is occuring in other rooms/studios. The corridor is very creaky so again can be a bit noisy. 2 of the 3 nights we slept well however 1 of the nights I was kept awake for quite a while due to the noise of other guests. Additionally, you can hear some noise from the closest square however this is more a problem on a weekend night.
A really fantastic location in the heart of the historic area of Florence. Very easy to self check in and access the room. The airconditioning was very efficient and the room was very clean with towels provided. The wifi was very good and you were able to stream films/TV with no buffering.

AustraliaThe staff are incredibly kind, accommodating, and go above and beyond to make your stay comfortable and homely. Anything I needed, they provided (and often, I didn't have to ask! e.g. the correct travel adaptor was left in my room after it was cleaned just because Ricardo noticed I brought/was using the incorrect one) The room was very quiet and the accommodation was located well away from touristy areas, but not too far (easily reached in 20 mins by foot). I loved how close this accommodation was to the local piazza and mercato, which I would visit daily for breakfast. There was a great supermarket located nearby too. I wouldn't hesitate to book again! My stay was amazing!
