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.).

The air conditioner was turned off for the season even thought it was in the upper 70's. The shower was very small. Internet was rough at best.
The location was great for the activities that we had planned for our time in the city. The restaurant selection around this room was great!

Clean and good for one night. Walkable to main attractions in Florence.

Older plumbing (a bit finicky) and very little soundproofing, but it didn’t bother me too much.
Breakfast was good, location was excellent, especially for a backpacker ( close to the station and walking distance to the sites! The staff were very friendly and responsive. Everything was very clean. Nice little rooftop patio ( mostly for smokers but I don’t smoke a d I enjoyed it).They let me store my bags for hours after check out as an added bonus!

It looks old. But it was ok for 2 nights.
The B&B is close to the train station, has a supermarket downstairs where you can get water or anything you need. You have to walk 20 minutes to city center. The room was big and clean.

Don't even bother - my husband and I turned up to find the room looked worse than in the photos. Firstly, it was unclear how to get into the hotel and the man on the phone was unhelpful, not understanding the same questions we kept clearly asking (i.e. how to enter!) When we finally did, I was shocked to find the room very bare apart from the bed, looking like a half finished DIY job. There was general wear and tear, dirty corners, and a strong paint smell. The bathroom tiles were badly cracked, it was dirty and a sewage smell was coming from the toilet. We actually booked another hotel at our expense because this one was so bad. I don't normally react so strongly to a hotel room, but this one was too awful to stay in for four nights.
Location wasn't bad

I don't think the room is insulated since there was a draft. I had to create a scarf with my clothes and triple layer in order to prevent myself from getting sick. The shower door is broken. The shower drain didn't work, so the shower would fill up and then leak. They don't allow you to leave your dog in the room by itself for the day. This should be stated in their policy and not mentioned after-the-fact.
The room is big.

The site says 24 hour reception, no one is there and you have to ring a number to speak to someone. The only reason we got inside the building was because someone else was coming out, otherwise we couldn’t get inside? Beds were pathetic.
Nothing, no reception and no people to help you

The elevator to the hotel would only carry 1 person with luggage or two people at a time. The staff never informed us of the Continental breakfast at the end of the hallway so we spent 4 days there not knowing we had the ability to have pastries and coffee in the morning.
The size of the room was nice compared to others I've stayed in for the price. Location was on the north end but there were restaurants and a local Carefour market just outside the building.

I would never stay here again. The street noise at night (like 3 am) from pedestrians walking by singing and talking loudly, woke me up every night. The pictures of the room were misleading. It's not as nice as it looks.
Right across the street out the front door was a great (and inexpensive) coffee and pastry shop (Crociani Pasticceria). Go there for breakfast. Also, Porta Al Prato - Leopolda (the bus and tram location) is less than 2 blocks away. Florence has great public transportation and you can use your credit card on board.

Our room looked over the street, so it was a little bit noisy at night time, but that didn’t really matter.
Loved the room and the location. Excellent bathroom and lovely meals area and a beautiful little courtyard to sit in and drink your coffee. A really fabulous restaurant just across the road has wonderful food.
