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.).

FranceThe socket is USB near the bed which i dont like very much. I would like to have a real socket instead. But good point is that they put a big sockets in the middle of the room so we can recharge our power bank while sleeping. The bathroom should be put something to hanging clothes while bathing. Apart from these small things there is nothing more to complain
The property is very good. Everything is clean and the location is excellent. I can walk to everywhere within 300-500m from the hostel. It is super close to the tram and train station too. Bed is comfortable and there are only 4 beds which is more quiet and organize, also comfortable for staying. I would definitely book this hostel again if i come back to Florence! It is amazing

FranceSuggestions for improvement: Provide a remote control in the room for the air conditioning so guests can turn it on/off and adjust the ventilation regularly. Add frosted stickers on the bathroom window up to halfway for more privacy.
The hotel is pleasant, clean, modern, new, and bright, with a nice open view and a peaceful atmosphere. It is also very well located in Florence. The manager is very friendly.

NetherlandsWas fine for one night, but for longer stays I’d miss a kitchen and a laundry machine. Also the lockers are very loud so everyone wakes up if someone’s wants to get their stuff.
Incredibly comfortable beds and only four people per room. Everything super modern and clean. Half the price you’d pay at the adjacent Ostello Bello, but it’s way more quiet and you can still use their bar if you want to.

CanadaWish during the day, if there was male staff coming into the room to check on something, they let us know.
Great! Quiet. Renovated. Amazing location! Great host and very clean. Great communication and easy to find. Also loved having a washroom inside the room. Would stay here again if I come back to Florence. Highly recommend despite the negative reviews (most of them being from the last year). Also, you do have to rent a towel for 3 euros but not a big deal since I’ve done it for other hostels as well.

United KingdomA really well maintained property with sufficient amenities. I was surprised at how well organised the female dormitory was with well thought out bunk beds and storage. The bathroom has a hair dryer which was a blessing for late night showers. Proper value for the buck. I’d definitely visit again given that it’s so conveniently located to most tourist spots.
