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.).

ItalyThe only thing that made me a bit uncertain was that, before arrival, we were asked to provide ID documents and pay the city tax through an unfamiliar phone number and a time destruction chat, which felt unusual and made us hesitant at first.
It was a lovely B&B. The room was spacious, bright, clean, and quiet. The property also had a beautiful yard, perfect for relaxing or enjoying breakfast.

United KingdomThe room was very clean and bright with good tea making facilities and a fridge. The shower was excellent. The room had doors that opened onto a lovely shared outside space with plenty of outside furniture. Check in and out very easy and communal space was also very clean and pleasant. Breakfast was basic but great considering the price. I would definitely recommend

The property is 10/10. I didn’t expect it to be this good. It’s easily accessible with the public transport. It’s very clean and spacious and the staff were amazing. The terrace is amazing!

RomaniaThe breakfast was quite poor and also, we were receiving small portion of ham and cheese directly from the staff, they were giving us one slice of each to share per couple. If the omelette was finished, they would not provide us another, even if few more people wanted to have breakfast. Location is beautiful and the place is really clean.

KazakhstanThe place is located in a calm neighbourhood, which I believe is a sleep neighbourhood. So, it’s perfect, there are no random noises at night and you can calmly sleep and enjoy your time. The room is cleaned every morning by the staff. There is also breakfast, which is not wide in options, but you can have all you need: some coffee/tea, water, fruits, toasted bread, snacks, omelettes, yoghurts and sweets as well. Moreover, water and different snacks are available 24/7. The city center can be reached in 15-20 minutes by walk or a station can be reached by tram in 5 minutes. Cozy and beautiful place. And the staff ladies are wonderful!!!

RussiaI liked everything.
I liked that the host was ready to answer questions in messengers and agreed to resolve certain issues that caused a reason to worry at first. The breakfast was tasty and sufficient (the hostess cooked omelet to my delight). The check-in is contactless and easy-to-understand due to detailed instructions provided. I had a tea kettle in my room, which I find really necessary for travelers. Thank you!

United StatesThe process to confirm we had a reservation was a bit confusing when we first arrived. The building is also located on a somewhat busy street in Florence so be aware of road noise, especially if you like sleeping with windows open. We prefer to walk in larger cities so be aware that most of major tourist sites are a 20 to 30 minute walk on mostly side streets. Would have rated this a 9 if it wasn't for the road noise.
The two rooms we had were well appointed and clean. The breakfast host provided a full stocked assortment of food and was gracious enough to make us tea and cappuccinos. The apartment is not too far from the main train station and convenient to a number of restaurants and pizzerias.

AustraliaOnly negative things I can say is that the TV was very small for the room (Pisa) and the shower desperately needs a sliding door, as the water goes all over the bathroom, it’s also damaging the door by the way.
Very spacious, organized, clean, easy access, had so much personality too, the common area is incredible with all the snacks.

United KingdomNothing! Everything was perfect!
Such a fabulous b&b. The room was very spacious, well decorated, very clean and comfortable. There was a lovely family feel to the B&B. The staff were amazing and so friendly. Nothing was too much trouble. Breakfast was great, and lots of choices. One of our party was unable to eat gluten, and every morning they made sure they had lots of gluten free goodies for breakfast. The communication from the hotel was the best we have experienced, and they were very accommodating to our late arrival. The location was perfect as well. So close to the centre of Florence, but far enough away to be away from the hustle bustle of the centre. Totally recommend this accommodation! What a wonderful stay!
