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.).

HungaryThe room was spacious and comfortable. There was a double bed, a desk, chair, a wardrobe, a small sofa and an entire bathroom with a shower, toilet, bidet. The location could not be any better. It is situated 3 min away from the train station (Firenze SMN) and 10 min walk from the Dome/City center. The street is full with restaurants, bars, ice cream places, souvenir shops, a few small grocery stores. The hop-on-hop-off bus stop is 3 min away on foot. The central market is 2 min away. The guesthouse is on the 3rd floor and there is no lift so be careful if you’re travelling with big sized luggages. 63 steps.

United StatesCan't think of anything.
This was a great place to stay. The host communicated expertly and gave clear instructions on how to reach the property. We received a brief and helpful orientation when we arrived. The location is prime--just a few blocks from the Firenze Santa Maria Novella station, and on one of the less noisy streets for this popular part of town. Our room faced the back of the property, overlooking a quiet courtyard/parking area that included several trees. There is a handy common area with coffee, tea, and a spot to do cooking and wash laundry if needed (there is also a laundromat down the street if you want to wash and dry several loads). Everything was clean--room, bathroom, and common area. The room had a comfortable bed with cozy linens, and the huge bath towels provided were a nice touch. The bathroom seemed to be recently renovated and had a great shower. In all, the whole experience went well, and I highly recommend this property and its host.

Everything. Location was fantastic, right in the city centre very close to the Duomo. Roble was incredible, super helpful, lent us his umbrella for 3 days, let us keep our luggage almost the entire day after checkout, gave us suggestions, he was amazing.
