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.).

CanadaDuomo Palace is an excellent place to stay in Florence, located right next to the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore. It’s a perfect base to explore the city’s rich history and charm, with all major attractions, great restaurants, and shops just steps away. The guesthouse is clean, well-maintained, and has the convenience of an elevator. Self check-in was smooth, with clear and responsive communication. Overall, a fantastic experience.

RussiaThe beds could be more comfortable. Breakfast is provided in the form of coupons for a nearby coffee shop. it includes one pastry, a coffee, and water, which I had to ask for.
Great location, clear instructions. We never saw any hotel staff during our stay, which actually made it feel really smooth and hassle-free.

NetherlandsI had a major problem upon arrival. When ranging the front door of the building no one answered, so I entered when someone else left. On the first floor the same problem when I wanted to enter the rental units. It appeared that the owner had forgotten to send the entry codes before. It took a while to fund out the phone number and get this arranged. So please make sure to receive the entry codes before arriving.
This was an apartment within a tall old building very close to the main square of Florence. After entering the main door, next to fancy shops, you enter the dark staircase and have to climb a few stairs before arriving at the entrance, which you need to enter with a code. The apartment was surprisingly well-equipped, with air-conditioning, good Wifi, good bathroom, and event a microwave, and a "hidden" kitchen in a cupboard. The room had also a vide. It was very well located in the very middle of Florence, and all museums and churches can be reached easily.

AustriaFinding the hotel based on the location online was not easy at first. It took us a bit to figure out exactly which "Duomo" hotel / location we were going to once we reached the city. The rooms with the view of the Duomo are nice, but because of the location it is loud at night. If you need it quiet you need a different room.
Super location. Very pretty rooms. Rooms had everything we needed for a family of 4 with two teenagers. The agreement with the garage to park the car is nice as well.

AustraliaNo fan in the bathroom so you had to open the windows for ventilation . It wasn't easy to get clear instructions and communication with the host.
Plenty of towels, large bottle of water, an extra sink and a bit of cutlery and dishes. Room was refreshed daily. An excellent location, right next to the Duomo and with taxis and other tourist vehicles right in front. It was very quiet and the air con worked well. Bed was comfortable and the bathroom well- equipped and a good size . The self check-in access was easy, once you got the hang of it.

The location and the decor of this place is just breathtaking. It was perfect for 2 nights as the check-in and check out were very easy and straightforward. I felt very safe and comfortable staying here as a solo traveller .
