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.).

AustraliaThis room was on the top floor so it's a hike to the top. We had 4 heavy suitcases which weren't easy to get up these stairs. It did say there was no lift but didn't realise there were 5 flights of stairs. Hotel staff did help but we struggled a bit. Shower space was tight.
Check in was easy with nice welcoming staff. The room was size was adequate for 4 adults. The small balcony was nice. Room is tastefully decorated. Bath was modern and good shower pressure. Great convenient location. Walked everywhere from here. Reception held bags till our departure. Loved my stay.

United StatesThe address listing on the booking.com is incorrect and also incorrectly referenced in google maps. Use the Hotel Roma address: Piazza Santa Maria Novella, 8. Check in at the Hotel Roma Lobby. The apartment section has no elevator. Be prepared to climb stairs. Thankfully the porter helped us carry our luggage up and down.
The staff was really helpful and attentive! The concierge staff were particularly exceptional and welcoming. Rooms were very clean and modern. Staying at the apartment section is an affordable way to get access to 4 star hotel service and facilities at a 3 star rate if you don't mind stairs. Breakfast was great and convenient. There is a laundry mat wash and dry across the street. Very convenient to be able to do laundry half way through our trip! Very well located, walking distance to everything.

AustraliaA truly wonderful place to stay. Lovely spacious room. Be aware however there are approximately 100 steps up to the room. We didn't mind the stairs, added to the magic of Firenze. You will need to be fit though. Porter helped us with our bags when we arrived, that was very helpful.

CanadaThe breakfast was ok, but could have been much better.
Hotel Roma is a beautiful, well-maintained facility in the heart of Florence. It is surrounded by so much history, architecture and wonderful restaurants! It is only a short walk from the main train station and all of the major sites are within walking distance. Our modern, updated room was in a historic building so you get the best of both worlds. We very much enjoyed our stay.

GermanyBreakfast was a bit disappointing. Even though it is mentioned, the lack of lift can be disappointing when arriving late in the night after a long day, but manageable.
I liked that it was in a historical building as it gives the feeling of being a local. Location was great, right in the middle of everything, so easy to get around. Hotel staff is super helpful, carrying the luggage up and down the 3 floors - arrived very fast when called for help with check out.
