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.).

CanadaThe fruits at breakfast were over ripe, not edible at all 😅 It would be really nice if fresh fruits could be served.
Location was amazing, easy walk to everything. Beautiful space, sorry comfortable. Some hiccups in the AC unit when we first checked in but property manager was super responsive even though it was after hours. Gianmarco was very helpful and flexible in trying to resolve the situation for us, great experience!

AustraliaWe got used to the very small lift, just be aware of you have lots of luggage but I imagine it would be the same anywhere in Italy. unfortunately we didn’t like the breakfast. for us there was better options locally, but adequate for others.
Amazing location and Big spacious room with a fridge and good sized bathroom. The staff were friendly and very helpful at giving us restaurant recommendations which we regarded highly and were so grateful for some of our best food in Florence. Thank you so so much.

Great location/base to visit all popular Firenze attractions. Very clean and quiet. Plenty of choice for breakfast. Liked the traditional feel of the building.

United KingdomIf i did have to choose, i would say there didn't seem to be any hotel lounge or bar for evening relaxing. However the piatsa outside was fantastic for restaurants and wine bars.
Very helpful staff who even stayed open later as our flights were delayed. Rooms are clean, great breakfast, and central to all the tourist spots.

United KingdomThe accommodation is just a services room. It doesn’t feature any hotels amenities. This isn’t necessarily a bad thing but one to be aware of pre stay.
We absolutely loved the location! And the period features this gave the room a real romantic feel.

United StatesDidn't like that we have to use the keycard for power. We had to take it out when we leave the room so when we come back there is no AC and it took awhile to cool the room. Breakfast could have more variety.
Love the location! It is very convenient as it's just steps away from all the major attractions - shops, restaurants, EVERYTHING! I couldn't have ask for more. Modern & clean room with nice bedsheets/towels :)

ChinaThe people who live upstairs are a bit noisy, the sound of footsteps are very loud especially during the night,also sometimes during the day.
Coffee was great! And the maid is also kind and friendly, have to say the serving table is not that big so don't expect it is gonna be a rich breakfast table, but it is definetely enough for waking one up at the morning. Location is superb, and the residenza itself just speaks for history and art, classic and stylish.

United StatesOnly view was from one window in the hallway, the other 2 are pointless to have windows but anyways we're not there to look out the window! Another negative is the bathroom door is inconveniently placed right next to the bed, almost touching whoever sleeps on the left side. Maybe changing orientation of the room would be an easy fix. Add a long mirror in the hallway is also an easy fix, there are no long mirrors unless we missed it. There is a tea kettle but no coffee machine. Half bath could use soap dispenser. Entry way of the building is stinky but we found most of Florence streets to be stinky so nothing can probably be done about this.
Very modern, clean, everything felt new. Even sheets and towels felt clean and new. Location was excellent. Staff was kind. Breakfast which was included was standard. There is an elevator. We originally were going to be 3, a couple and sister, the room was perfect size for that because bedroom and full bath have a door that closes and a hallway between the bedroom and the living room. We didn't need the sofa bed after all but was nice to have as an extra space. There are closets in both spaces and air conditioning in both spaces. There is a half bath which is also really nice for a larger group.
