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.).

CroatiaThe only downside was the breakfast voucher for Rivoire - we received it in the room, but after ordering 2 coffees and 2 croissants, we still had to pay an extra €12. It might be better to have breakfast elsewhere.
The accommodation is in a fantastic location, right in the city center and within walking distance to all the main attractions. After check-out, we were able to leave our luggage in the building, which was very convenient and allowed us to enjoy the city without dragging our bags around before our train. Vanesa, the host, was very kind and helpful throughout our stay.

AustraliaEverything was great but the room probably needs a deep clean. Small amount of old dirt on ceilings with a slight smell to the room but not bad enough that it caused any issues.
The host Vanesa was amazing - so kind and helpful! There are also great amenities here with a shared kitchen, washing machine, iron, fridge, etc. The room was small and simple but just what we needed for 2 nights in Florence. The location was perfect, so easy to walk to everywhere you need to go in Florence!

United KingdomIt was all fine
The Owner Vanessa met us when we arrived and introduced us to the property and gave us suggestions of where to eat in Florence We received vouchers to go for coffee and pastry at a local restaurant for breakfast. The property is right at the heart of the tourist attractions and close to the Ponte Vecchio bridge to cross to the other side of the river. The bed was very comfortable. The staff were very friendly and helpful.

AustraliaNot a lot to dislike about this apartment! The only thing I can say is the drains in the bathroom possibly need cleaning. When showering it doesn’t drain properly and pools in the bottom and the smell from the bathroom when the exhaust fan isn’t turned on gets quite bad.
Upon entry the lobby area was spotless and smelt very clean. The owner Vanessa was lovely to deal with and so very helpful! Our room was spotless and very clean when we checked in. Very spacious room, the bed is very comfortable along with comfortable sheets. Amenities such as communal kitchen, washing machine available. Private kettle and tea/ coffee available in apartment room.

SwitzerlandIn a really great location, not far from the train station, and in the cultural centre. You can step out of the door and you are in the middle of everything. Yet, it is a quiet side street so you are not disturbed at night. Clean and comfortable, it’s has what you need and communication with the host Dafne was great. Perfect!

PeruWe loved everything best stay in Florence! If we could recommend something for a better stay it would be: - The bed maybe a more modern one - The shower maybe make it so it doesn’t wet all the bathroom But OVERALL it is AMAZING!
The location is AMAZING, Vanessa was great and responded always, the property is complete - renovated and clean - it also has a washing machine and a kitchen to share, it was super helpful for us!! Was a pleasure to stay here

AustraliaFoyer of property very dark and quite hard to go up 4 flights of stairs in the dark. Foyer also had quite a pungent smell. These did not impact the actual room or the common areas where we stayed but did detract from the overall experience.
Centrally located, clean and comfortable, good size bathroom. Property has communal kitchen and laundry facilities which were a godsend. Property also had a lift to make moving bags up 4 levels much easier.

CanadaThe main building hallway was very dark at night. I had to use a flashlight while carrying heavy luggage. Finding room 5 was challenging/could use some signage on the door to the kitchen to help. Also some instructions on how to exit the 4th floor doors from inside would be helpful as I had no idea how to get out. The kitchen was lovely and super clean, but didn’t have any plates or cups so made it unusable. My bed was comfortable but VERY squeaky. The shower curtain hooks got stuck at lot and made it hard to adjust the curtain. The floor got very very wet during a shower which used up towels quickly - a better shower curtain and hooks would help with this.
Location was perfect!! Was great to have laundry. Very quiet and clean. Overall a great place to stay, would definitely stay again!

Germanywith a central location comes noise and one is always surrounded by intense (and sometimes reckless) tourists. Also, the elevator was a little rusty, and the door jammed on our way out once. But that is a minor thing in an old and beautiful building
Can't get more central in Florence than this apartment. Everything is easily accessible. Perfect for a short stay as a couple. Room was comfortable and clean!
