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 StatesWe were fortunate enough to have the B&B to ourselves until the last night. The apartment was a little noisy (echoed) when doors were closed in the B&B.
Great hospitality. Easy check in. Alessandro goes out of his way to help in any way to ensure your experience is the best. Provide suggestion for restaurants, sites and ordered taxis. The bed was comfortable with outlets available. The bathroom was well appointed with toiletries (slippers were a nice touch). Having an iron available was helpful too. The shower was spacious and had a shelf for personal items. The kitchen was well equipped and the croissants were amazing. Right on the Arno. Great location for walking thru the neighborhoods on both sides of the river.

United KingdomA lovely room, very clean with comfortable beds. There was an excellent selection of foods on offer for breakfast, which was laid out in the shared kitchen. Alessandro was very helpful throughout our stay, asking whether we needed anything and offering advice on places to go. Medici Soderini is very central and it is easy to walk into Florence. There is a supermarket nearby and lovely restaurants around the corner. The city is beautiful - we had a lovely holiday and wouldn't hesitate to recommend this as a location to stay. Thank you.

The B&B concept worked great, fully equipped kitchen with all breakfast supplies which are refilled everyday. Great location at the Arno river, walking distance to all sights. Host was in contact for any requirements everyday.

BulgariaOur holiday to Florence could not have been better if we didn’t stay at BB Medici, Alessandro had a personal and very kind approach for his guests, we exchanged messages in order to organise our stay at best. Matteo welcomed us and helped us which was great! Rooms are big enough, well furnished,very clean. Breakfast was excellent, the host even organized a savory breakfast for us as we demanded. The location is great-3 minutes from the historical center. We recommend it to everyone!

United StatesJust a minor thing--it would have been great to have a net/screen on the bathroom window.
Perfect location in Santo Spirito that is not overcrowded with tourists. There are lots of restaurants, cafes, and bars nearby. Breakfast options were great with eggs, fresh croissants daily, yogurt, coffee, fruit, and more. Easily walkable to SMN train station, Cathedral/Duomo, and other notable sights. Would definitely stay again!

United KingdomWe stay in quite a lot of accommodation around the world, and I honestly feel that I couldnt find anything I didnt like about Medici Soderini.
The Medici Soderini apartment is beautifully appointed and very comfortable. You feel you are in the middle of Florence, but as comfortable as being home. The quality of the kitchen area and breakfast provisions were excellent. The rooms were lovely, thoughtfully furnished and very private and comfortable. The host (Alessandro) is very attentive and checked with us to make sure everything was OK.

AustraliaNothing really. The common lift (only one floor needed, is tiny) but we just used the stairs anyway. So cannot complain, the property was in a great position for everything we had hoped to explore with restaurants, shops, etc only minutes away. Plus you felt safe in the area walking at night.
Medici Soderini was perfect for our 3 nights in Florence. Arriving by car was more difficult due to the blocked streets but once the car was parked (not part of the property) our time around Florence was all walking. Being on the river meant that each morning you leave the premises to walk the streets, crossing the local bridges too things Florence. The property had a lovely kitchen area for all guests to use, with your breakfast put to one side and the ability to make coffee, etc when it suited you. The property was very clean, secure and quiet so a perfect place to rest after walking many km's each day. Also we were greeted on arrival and shown where & how plus our point of contact via What's App was extremely helpful in answering any queries or providing local information about sites, restaurants and even some trivia which was a nice touch.

United StatesNothing. Our driver had a hard time finding it but a call to the B&B and it was located without a problem.
We had a fabulous stay. My hubby and I took a university friend on our trip to Florence. It worked out perfectly as we had two beds on separate levels. The breakfast and snacks were great for us to start our days touring Florence and Tuscany. Alessandro was so helpful and booked a taxi for us the early morning of our departure. The location was quiet and it was perfect for us to walk to see the sights. There are many great restaurants nearby and gelato stores at either end of the block. We will be back the next time we are in Florence!
