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.).

FranceA little noise in the evening in the street because there are restaurants next to the hotel. But at 11pm, there's no more noise, so it's not really disturbing.
The hotel is very well located in Firenze, close to all points of interest (less than a 5-minute walk to the Uffizi Museum or the Duomo di Firenze). The rooms are spacious, bright and very clean, and the beds are very comfortable. Breakfast is very good, copious and the cakes are homemade. The hotel staff are very kind, courteous and friendly, and will help you make the most of your stay in Firenze

United StatesI would only warn there are stairs to climb to get to the room (but they are so worth it)- BUT they do have a little 1-2 person elevator too so it is accessible! I did not mind them at all but just thinking of people who may need accommodations.
This room was a GEM! Absolutely amazing location in the middle of Florence right by the river, super comfy beds, air conditioning worked so well, very friendly staff (and very accommodating! my friend was sick during travel and they were kind and attentive about it). I walked out the front door and spent hours siteseeing, and once the peak times passed I felt like I had some streets to myself to just stroll and enjoy (as a solo female traveler- felt very safe the whole time, have to go through THREE locked doors to get into the room!). Location can't be beat, and again- those COMFY beds :D

United StatesThey keep the AC off until mid-afternoon. It was very hot when we arrived, especially after walking up the stairs, and we needed a cool shower to cool down in the early afternoon.
The host made our whole stay worth it. He was very accommodating, allowing us the check in a bit early when we arrived. He also helped us confirm our day tour with the company via phone. Location was amazing. Walking distance to everything but the hotel itself is on a little bit of a quieter street. Would definitely recommend staying here.

GermanyIn terms of the hotel - loved every part of it! As a side note for those travelling by personal vehicle, parking in Italy is (to say the least) a challenge but this is not an issue for the hotel to resolve.
AMAZING location! Everyone we encountered was amazing. I dont know it concierge is a thing in Italy but these folks provided incredible customer service. The room was really beautiful and spacious and had a large bathroom with a great tub. Housekeeping were also very helpful and attentive. Location of the hotel could not be beat. 15 minutes on foot from just about anywhere - Uffizi, Santa Croce, Santa Maria del Fiore, and literally around the corner from Ponte Vecchio. Can't beat it.

United StatesThere are several stair steps from the street level to reach the elevator to reception. It’s not unusual to have many stairs before reaching an elevator to reception, but it’s important to mention, especially if anyone has mobility problems or health problems climbing stairs.
The location is fantastic. My room, number 30, was huge and the bathroom was also very large. The bed was very comfortable and the room and bathroom were spotless Andrea and Monti we’re very helpful during check-in and check out.

The reviews are accurate! Delightful staff Monte and Andrea, super clean, unbeatable location without breaking the bank. We, 3 siblings, stayed in the annex, in apt 28 across the street. An old convent building, with a great mix of old and new (high coffered ceilings plus all mod cons). You feel like a local coming through the giant wood door, up the old stone steps. Two separate loft bedrooms above a kitchen and sitting room gave us ample room to spread out and enjoy wine and snacks between outings. We appreciated the housekeeping everyday, the apt feels so private, it was an unexpected bonus.
