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.).

FinlandRoom was spacious and relatively clean. Instructions from staff for check in etc is clear and accomodating Location was not nearby Florence's main attractions, need to walk a fair bit, but it was convenient to commute to-from S.M. Novella station. Appreciated the snacks/ drinks provision which made for a very decent light breakfast!

GermanyOur stay at this hotel in Florence was truly fantastic! The hotel itself was very stylish and modern, creating a beautiful and welcoming atmosphere. Our room felt very big and comfortable, even better than it looked in the pictures, and it even had a lovely little balcony. Inside the room, we also had a fridge, coffee maker, and electric kettle, which were super convenient. The bathroom was also perfectly clean and spacious. One of the best features was the hotel's shared kitchen. Every morning, it was filled with fresh breakfast items, delicious cakes, and fresh juices, which was a wonderful way to start our day. The hotel staff were very friendly and provided excellent service. The location was absolutely perfect too; we had great access to the historic part of the city and were very close to public transportation. If you're planning a trip to Florence, we definitely recommend this hotel!

Canada.The safety deposit box is just a portable box, it is not secured to the wall. It was a good thing we did not have to rely on using it at all.
The location is ideal, it is away from the crowded tourist area. It is less than a 10 minute tramp ride from the train station.

South AfricaNothing really. I think what you see is what you get.
Value for money. The host was friendly and helpful. Although contactless, the check-in process was very seamless. The little extras, including the tea station in the room, bar fridge, and continental breakfast, were a nice touch. It turned out to be better than some hotels, honestly, and the main station was a leisurely 20 or so mins walk

FinlandUnfortunately the traffic noise can be heard in the room. If you are used to it, no problem, but we were travelling with a baby, so it was a bit challenging at night.
The room was big, clean and cozy. We liked it a lot. The shared kitchen was very useful and there was something small to eat for breakfast. We had a espresso machine in our room.

EgyptAndrea is always available, the place is safe, clean, spacious, easy to access for us, rules are there so everyone staying knows the quiet hours, i even wanted to iron my clothes and Andrea guided me to locate the iron in the open space. Its located in the middle of the city, even the central station is 13 mins walking, you can find a lot of bakeries, restaurants and markets within walking area, less than 5 mins. Would definitely stay there again.

Excellent location, a pleasant 10 minute walk from downtown which allows you to go back to rest after lunch. The room was big & quiet with a comfortable bed and the bathroom very clean and new. There is a common kitchen/sitting room where they provide coffee, toast, fruit for breakfast which you can have there or in your room.

BulgariaThe apartment is in a quiet neighborhood, within walking distance to the center. Close to the train station as well, which is very convenient if you want to do one-day excursions. The room exceeded our expectations, extremely clean, the bed is very comfortable. There's always fruit and snack/ cookies and cake for breakfast if you're in a rush to get out in the morning. If not, there are eggs and other products in the fridge in case you decide to make your own breakfast. The host is available for any advice. A huge thanks to Andrea for the taxi assistance to the airport and for everything. I highly recommend the apartment! We will definitely come again!
