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.).

AustraliaGreat location near main train station, once inside the building the hustle and bustle disappeared and became a quiet haven. Checkin in breeze, clean and comfortable room. Lovely terrace for and evening relax overlooking Florence and where we enjoyed our morning breakfast. Would stay again.

Excellent location, and the rooms were immaculate. Breakfast was excellent, you are given a menu the day before to pick what you would like and there was so much to choose from. Breakfast is served on the patio and the views are amazing.

ItalyCheck in is not late if that is needed. Staff depart at 6:30pm. Not an issue for me.
An outstanding place to stay. The staff were wonderful. Be prepared, you need to order your breakfast before the morning on a sheet of paper, but no issues, plus if I wanted more they gladly gave me some. Location was great, dont have to lug your luggage far, as train station is right next to the hotel location.

NetherlandsFor this price I would have expected a better breakfast. You could choose from a list but the croissant was dry and the orange juice was not freshly squeezed. The cappuccino was instead great.
Very central location, my room faced the city centre, with a stunning view. The room was comfortable and quiet. Breakfast on the terrace is an amazing option.

AustriaWalls are a bit thin so you can hear some talk / shower from next room, but it's not noisy. There is a lot of stairs and they are not in best condition (they're old, that's why) and the elevator is very small, if you have some disabilities, you might check this out.
the balcony is great and nice view. Room was small, but fit one person well enough and have its own bathroom. there is also mini-fridge in the room and complimentary water. the staff were really nice and helpful. there is also possible get some breakfast. the location is amazing, few minute walk to train station and short distance to all views. .

Trinidad and TobagoFor me, the bed may have been a litrle soft.
This is a perfect location, located less than 10 mins from SMN Train Station, about 15mins from the Bus Station. It is located in the City Centre so access to major highlights was extremely easy. The staff were very helpful and courteous. The location is safe for solo female travellers. My favourite place was the terrace with a view of the Duomo. My room was extremely comfortable. There was a tea station, mini frodge, hairdryer, toiletries in addition to towels. The staff were kind enough to add an extra blanket to my bed upon my request at no additional cost. I will be returning. Thank you for offering high quality service at a reasonable cost.

This is an exceptional small family owned hotel that is an oasis in the heart of Florence. The owners/staff are the kindest, nicest people and so accommodating. The hotel is situated on a busy street but as soon as you go inside it is so quiet and peaceful, you wouldn’t know you are in the middle of a busy city! The breakfast on the terrace is exceptional.

United StatesThe sidewalk out front gets a bit crazy. It’s like merging into on coming traffic at times. Room is perfect for one, but two suitcases in there would be tight.
This was my first time using Booking.com and i didn’t know what to expect. The staff here were amazing. Kind and helpful without being overly. Loved my apertivi on the terrazzo overlooking Florence. Neighborhood is a bit sketch, but I always felt safe there. Just watch yourself at the market, I observed two guys planning their attack on the unsuspecting. Back to Luce, the only thing I would have loved was maybe an indoor sofa where the tables and chairs are, and maybe an outdoor one on the terrazzo.
