How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewNice and clean rooms. The location is near the city Center but close to the train station so the area could be a bit dangerous at night. But you can go around the train station and avoid the area to reach the center.
The shower head is not the best and there is no pressure, also the temperature of the water is a bit weird-either too hot or cold.
Thank you so much, Adrian Victor, for your kind words! We're solving the water mixing problem (even though it rarely occurs) with our new and excellent plumber. Thank you for being our guest, Laura

Verified reviewLaura was a very gracious host and very friendly. She let us check in early as we arrived earlier than expected. Location is walking distance to the train and to town. Laura provided us with very helpful suggestions about where to go and what to do while in Florence. There is a small shared terrace at the fust house where we would sit ou in the evening and have wine a.d charcuterie. Laura knew that it was my birthday while we were there and made us a very nice breakfast our last morning there, very kind and thoughtful.
Downside is the amount of stairs needed to get our luggage up before getting to the elevator to get the rest of the way. This seems to be the case in Italy at the other places we stayed as well ( next time i'll pack lighter).
Thanks, Kathy, for your kind words! It's true, in Italian apartment buildings, you often have to climb a few steps to get to the elevator... If it's any consolation, if you'd chosen a property in the historic center, you probably wouldn't have had an elevator at all, since the buildings are historic. Thanks again, Laura

We didn’t get new towels for second day! We couldn’t get a shower.
Hello Askhan and thank you for the review. As per the description of the room at the time of booking, it is specified that the linen is changed free of charge every 3 days. However, to those who ask us for more towels for the shower we never say no, if it is asked during reception hours. Your request arrived at 6:30 PM, and since when we cleaned your room the towels were not on the floor, we could not imagine that you wanted the change. Greetings, Laura

Verified reviewThe owners are super nice, Laura helped immensely with my taxis - I travelled solo for work so needed help sorting out the transport for a couple of trips around Tuscany and to the airport. The B&B is well situated, just a couple of minutes walk from the main train station, also very accessible by the tram - both from the airport and into the city center. The B&B was clean and bed was comfy. I'd stay here again for sure.
The noise from the other rooms and the street, but nothing that can't be fixed with a pair of ear plugs.
Hello Petra, we appreciate your positive feedback and are glad you enjoyed your stay! Our team works hard to provide exceptional experiences, and it's wonderful to see that reflected in your review. Thank you so much, Laura

Verified reviewIt’s very close to the airport, the b&b is 2min walk from the tram stop that can take you to the city/airport and about 10-12mins away from all the main attractions. The staff, facilities, space are great. Many options around to eat/drink too even late night. Laura also helped us book a taxi and she’s very responsive and helpful too.
Not exactly a negative- but since it’s very close to the tram stop, be prepared for the noise all night. However, the staff have provided earplugs which is very considerate of them. For light sleepers, this might be useful to know
Thank you so much Jayasri for your kind words! We're thrilled to hear you had a great experience with us. Your support means a lot to us, and we look forward to hosting you again. Laura
