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.).

AustraliaOnly negative as everyone says is the stairs, pretty brutal with 2 large suitcases. Wouldn’t recommend to anyone unfit (not that we are super fit)
Perfect location, you’re literally in the middle of everything. So easy to walk everywhere. Aircon was very appreciated!

IrelandMarkings on the wall, lots of stairs to be climbed and room was small. Also house rules for quiet times during the day and at night seemed a little over the top
Room looked better online, overall average place to stay, room was ok. Great location, right beside the duomo, centrale market etc. Nice view

AustraliaWord of warning, there are no lifts in the building so carrying 40kgs of luggage up the 5-6 flights of stairs was a struggle when tired (we arrived late) and just wanted to go to bed. There was also no real space to store multiple pieces of luggage. The level had a small issue with the water heater on the first evening so my husband had a cold shower but it was sorted in the morning. We were leaving early so this wasn't an issue for us, but there is no where to leave luggage after check out so you can't explore the city for the day and collect it later.
Location was incredible, just steps from the Duomo in the centre of Florence. Room was small but comfortable for the 2 nights we were there. Air conditioning kept the room cool on the hot nights. Self check in was easy.

SwitzerlandIt was very Central and the view of the duomo was fantastic. The room was very clean and comfortable. The only negativ thing is that it was a bit noisy... My window was broken so it was not so well isolated, but this should be fixed.

SwedenI booked a room with a view of the Cathedral but got a room facing the backside. They offered me to cancel it with no penalty but I think that was something that they could communicate with me before I arrive. I did not pay for the city tax as compensation but I think the price difference and the disappointment were more than that!
Very central. Private bathroom. Clean and cozy.

United KingdomRoom was fairly basic and small especially if you had big cases Not much space to put things away eg hanging space or hooks in bathroom Limited toiletries and no coffee or tea but there was a kettle. No fridge. It should be made more obvious that this property is up 4 flights of stairs - not a problem for us but could be difficult for some
Location is superb

IrelandThe fact that there was no staff was a blessing and a curse. We found ourselves a bit confused with check-in and check out, but that's because we're not the brightest bulbs in the pack. It's pretty straightforward, really.
The location was amazing, being 4 flights of stairs and a door away from the Firenze Cathedral. There's alot to do in the Plazia alone. A lot of restaurants and gelatarias around. My mate and I would do 2 laps around the cathedral while smoking so we can see the live performances taking place all around. Look out for scammers, they're crafty

United KingdomWe were the top room and after carrying approx 40-45kg worth of bags up 3 floors to then find even more stairs to our room wasn't ideal. The air conditioning unit isn't center of the room so manually hits just 1 person whilst in bed and you can hear the condensation water dripping as the pipe has been left high up the wall and water drops onto the shower tray

United StatesThe apartment is in a great location for everything you need to get to in Florence. The view of the Duomo and Cathedral are awesome. The street below does stay busy late at night so there is a bit of noise into the early hours, but not terrible. We had to change locations weeks before our trip and we found this unit. We are so glad we did. We had a great stay.
