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 StatesA little noisy from outside during the night. I still slept great.
I loved the place. It was very cute, clean, the location was great and it felt safe. The hosts were even able to accommodate a protein base breakfast, which is hard to find in Italy. It was only a little loud at night. You might need ear covers if you are a light sleeper, but it is the price to pay for being in the middle of everything. If you book here look for the light switches on the stairs. There are 3 of them and I didn't see any until the last day (my bad). It was still a great place.

United StatesRoom was a bit small I am a 6'1" 280lbs guy and could not walk anywhere without hitting the bed.
Service was really nice Francesco took care of us both days we were there. We had early trips planned and made sure we didn't skip breakfast. Also allowed us to leave our luggage while we went to the Cathedral Santa Maria del Fiore. Which was only around the corner from our location.

AzerbaijanBefore the arrival, they explained everything in a clear way, and were communicating with us whenever we needed. Also we didn’t expect such a nice breakfast. Everything was clean, and everyday they came and cleaned the bathroom. Michela and Francesco were very friendly and ready to help. Finally, the location was wonderful! Hope to come back again☺️ Thank you!

CanadaCity tax must be paid in cash. Excessive noise: the property is right on a street with multiple trattorias that are open until late at night. The locks are extremely loud. If anyone's talking on the hallway you can listen to their every word. The bathrooms have no vents or extractor. We went in late October and it was hot, I can't imagine what it's like in the middle of the summer. The elevator doesn't drop you off in your floor (so you can't use it).
Breakfast is included. Excellent location, close to most of the main sightseeing spots. Nice host. Cute little common room.

United StatesIt is a bit “tired” and our room (advertised as small) was really too small for a queen bed and two adults.
The property was in a great location, the host was very accommodating and friendly, and there was a nice common space.

United StatesI have no issues what so ever.
Very Very Comfortable. We arrived in Florence on the train and it was only a 10 minute walk. Our stay with Relais Del Duomo was in the heart of Florence and so close to everything Florence has to offer. Now, I have never met such wonderful host such as Michela and Francesco. When we go back to Florence, I will have no problem staying there again.

United KingdomA lovely small B&B just off the piazza where the Duomo is situated. Lovely staff who look after you well & who are on hand every morning for breakfast & enquiries. Checking in after 12 when there are no staff is explained well in the emails received beforehand, & is easy to do. We had the smallest double room which was cosy but worked well for us for 3 nights.
