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 loved everything
Marelena and the team on reception were very helpful, knowledgeable and informative. Camille and all the restaurant and bar staff were incredibly welcoming and knowledgeable. Stunning spa and wellness oasis in the centre of Florence. A menu bursting with local organic artisan culinary delights. The spa is a gem in such a city centre location. The garden is a beautiful space to dine in, relax by the indoor/outdoor pool. As a boutique hotel it’s a sanctuary pic relaxation and calm. We will 💯% be returning to Palazzo Castro 1874

Beautiful hotel and gardens in a good location, a short walk away from the historic attractions. The room was spacious, fantastic air conditioning and a fantastic view of the Cathedral.

United KingdomHave more waiters working at breakfast rush as the workers looked to be rushed off their feet. Although never without a smile!
A beautiful hotel with brilliant staff in an excellent location. The reception team are warm and friendly. Nothing is too much trouble. The team in the restaurant were also exceptional and so helpful in bringing drinks outside in plastic glasses so we could sit in the beautiful garden or use the pool. The rooms were spotlessly clean so the cleaners deserve high praise. The little spa and swimming pool were a great treat after a day's sightseeing. Out of the 3 hotels we stayed in Tuscany this was head and shoulders above the rest. Finally the beds and the pillows in the hotel were the comfiest I have ever experienced. Overall a 5 star experience.

This is a fantastic property. It’s a tranquil haven in the middle of a busy city. The spa is a great place to unwind after a day in the city. The location is excellent, most major things walkable in 20 mins max. The views from our room were stunning over the Florence skyline.

We had a room with a balcony which was so good for relaxing after visiting the spectacular sights of Florence. The staff were friendly and very helpful.
