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.).

IrelandWe literally can't fault this B&B it was so perfect for our holiday to Florence! We spent 5 nights here, the room was clean and comfy, the location was perfect as it is right on the tram line and we had a lovely breakfast each morning. The vibes were very homey and welcoming, they definitely hit all the marks. Would 100% recommend!

United Kingdom× My bathroom was across the hall from my room. I think it was my own private bathroom, which helped, but it wasn't the best situation - especially at 2 in the morning!! × Shower was fairly small with quite a narrow door and the head sprayed all over!! The temperature was also either controlled by all water within the building, or simply possessed!!! After 5 minutes of working to get a nice temp I'd be showering and suddenly scalding water is raining down on me!!!
× The hosts are incredible!!! I had a worry and felt terrible messaging them late in the eve, but they messaged me back reassuring and fixed my issue!!! So very grateful!! Makes travelling so much easier when the hosts are nice!! Thank you!! ☺️ × The lady who works in the B&B in a morning is really lovely and friendly × Good sized rooms with comfy beds and a mini fridge × KETTLE!!!!! × Quiet air conditioning that you can sleep through! × 10-15mins from train station, around 25-30mins from Statue of David and all that touristy area, and train is an hour from Pisa, about €10 each way

CanadaOne downside was that the bathroom was located outside our room, which was occasionally inconvenient.
The room was clean, comfortable, and spacious enough, with effective air conditioning. Breakfast was simple but satisfying, and the staff were friendly and attentive. The location is excellent—within walking distance of major sightseeing spots, which made exploring very convenient.

Czech RepublicThere was some mold in the shower, and the toilet seat was a bit loose.
We really liked the great location of the accommodation, which is very close to both the airport and the city center. The staff were very kind and helpful. At the reception, there was a map of the city showing the main landmarks and other important spots, making it much easier for us to get around the city during our stay. Plus, the hotel staff even marked the hotel’s location and some other places on the map beforehand, which was really helpful. Breakfasts were great. Overall, a great place to stay – highly recommended!

IndiaThe location is a bit away from the city centre but it's near the train station and easily accessible by tram. There is one tram stop just in front of the building. Room had a good city view from balcony. Breakfast was amazing. Good restaurants nearby. Only drawback was the extremely slow elevator of the building otherwise everything was perfect.

GermanyI expected a little bit more regarding the breakfast. You had the traditional sweet croissants, which were very good. But for people who prefer a savoury breakfast, you could make yourself only toasts with cheese, ham or salami and hard boiled eggs. The location was not bad, right next to the station, but it was impossible to sleep with the window open, because our window was towards the street and it was frequented by cars all the time, the echo was rather loud. But we are soft sleepers.
The staff was very kind and nice and everything was very clean. Easy access, comfortable room and everything working as required.

MaltaEverything was ok. Nothing to do with the B&B. Just please consider that the hotel is a 35mins walk from the centre, and even when the Tren station is super close and it has a bus stop almost in front, after 11 the buses don't pass that often, every hour more or less.
The staff is super kind and helpful. The room was big enough and it was clean. The breakfast was good too.
