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.).

United StatesThe neighborhood close to the train station is kind of sketchy. There are beggars and people trying to get ahead without working. When I was leaving the station and was confronted by a long flight of stairs to the street, a man ran up and took my suitcase down the stairs, for which I was grateful, but then wouldn't go away. He insisted on finding the B&B for me although I knew where it was. I gave him 10 euros as a porter, but he wanted 15. He didn't leave until Silvia intervened.
Silvia is a landlady who has thought of just about everything needed by someone using a B&B. The room had plenty of space to store your belongings, lots of open surfaces like the little table by the bed that had three shelves. The bathroom was good, the air conditioning worked well and had a dehumidifier mode which was super useful. She also provides a cooked breakfast in your room on your own little table, or cold, as you choose. She is also very caring. So much so that when I left, she walked with me to the train station to show me the quick way to get inside with a large suitcase. No stairs. If I ever go back to Florence, I will stay at La Locandiera.

TurkeyThe hair dryer in the room didn’t work very well. Other than that, there was nothing we didn’t like.
The hotel is very close to the train station and the city center; we were able to walk everywhere easily, the location was excellent. Silvia was very friendly and gave us a warm welcome. Our room was spacious and had a separate dressing room. It was also very clean. We were very comfortable with our small child — thank you!

United StatesThere was nothing that we didn’t enjoy about the inn!
This is one of the most exceptional B&B’s that we have ever stayed at! The innkeeper, Silvia, is incredibly welcoming, helpful and prepares one of the best breakfasts we have had on our travels! She even delivers it at a time we selected each morning and prepares a cooked breakfast that we have chosen from an extensive menu! The inn is located in a great neighborhood that is within close walking distance to all the major sights!We look forward to staying at the inn again on our next trip to Florence!

Great location only 5 minutes from the railway station & tram station (direct route to & from the airport via T2). We were welcomed by Sylvia a very friendly host. Our room was perfect for our 4 night stay. Sylvia brought us breakfast in our room each morning at a time to suit us - a really great selection of food for breakfast. Would highly recommend La Locandiera for a Florence city break.

AustraliaWe had a lovely stay at La Locandiera. Sylvia is a fantastic host and made us feel very welcome. The room was a great size, plenty of space for the two of us and having the table to take breakfast at was very handy. The breakfast was really nice and was a great way to start our mornings. I would absolutely stay here again, the location was great, just a few minutes from the train station but very quiet at night.
