How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewThe location was ideal for our needs since we traveled by train and did not have a car. It was a short distance walk from the train station and a short distance walk to all the sites and museums that we visitied during our stay in Florence. The staff accommodated part of our family checking in early and stayed late to check in part of our group that arrived past the check in time due to train delay. They provided excellent recommendations for near by restaurants. They also held our bags after our check out so we could do some final touring and shopping before heading to the train station for the next leg of our holiday.
There really is nothing I can say regarding anything we did not like about our stay.

Verified reviewThe location was fantastic. So close to the Duomo and also the station. We were a family of 4 and booked a family room. It was huge and brilliant to have so much space for somewhere so central.
It met expectations of a 3* hotel. In places it was a bit dated but the room was clean and comfortable and also quiet given how central we were.

Noise from the street and from the corridor is rather big at night, isolation is not perfect.

Verified reviewI loved my stay here. The rooms were big and spacious, bathrooms also spacious with lovely toiletries provided. The staff were amazing and helped me store my luggage for a few hours before check-in. There was some noise in the rooms from the reception area and the street but nothing too bothersome. I did wear earplugs to sleep as I'm a very light sleeper. I highly recommend this residence.
Noise from reception/breakfast room but this is unable to be helped due to the location of the rooms.

Verified reviewThe staff were friendly and helpful. And the location was sensational - on a quiet street near shops, restaurants and less than 10 mins from the station and all the major landmarks. Making navigating the city a breeze. The building was beautiful with a shady courtyard to cool off and take a break in the heat of the day. Every morning our breakfast was superb! I cannot rate this stay highly enough!

Barebones brekki but I think that's just standard for Europe.

Verified reviewMy sister and I loved staying here! It was a quaint and quiet B&B, very charming. Staff was great (they all spoke English and check-in was easy), breakfast was a simple continental but very good and they made fresh cappuccinos on request. Mostly we loved the location - we were within a 15 min walking distance of everything, and many sights were less than a 10 min walk!
I took off 1 point for the bed. It wasn't the most comfortable and the duvet was light, so we were chilly at night - even with the air off. Also, the view from the window was just "meh".

Verified reviewI knew my room would be small because I booked a twin bed but it was very small. Location was excellent and the staff was very friendly and accommodating.
It was small. I felt like I was in a cave and I was right next to the the elevator and entrance to floor door. The room was very clean.

Verified reviewLovely bedrooms with all the amenities, right in the centre of Florence and very close to the train station and all amenities!
We loved our stay but unfortunately our bedroom was closest to the reception and breakfast area which meant it got really loud very early in the morning unfortunately

Verified reviewLocation was great, it is close to the train station and also to the city centre. There is also a supermarket close to the hotel. Breakfast was fine. There are diffferent options of cheese, fruits, breads, even croissants. The taste of the coffee was not great but it saves the day.
There were hairs on the outer side of the quilt, but inner was good. Sound proof of the windows is very poor. You can hear anything moving on the street.

Verified reviewEverything was perfect. From the moment we arrived, to the last minute. The room is very, very great. The staff is so lovely that makes you feel special. We also enjoyed the relaxed breakfast, with a good variety of fruits, bread, cheese and yogurt. And what an amazing cappuccino! The location is even better, 10 min walk to Ufizzi, Arno River, Accademia, Baptistery and Ponte Vecchio. 150% recommended 👌 we hope to come back one day!
I wish I could have stayed longer! Nothing that I could remember.
