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.).

SerbiaWe had problem with check-in procedure, couldn't open the door of the building. We were lucky that other guests were exiting so we entered... they mentioned they had similar issue. Breakfast is miserable. It will be waiting you in the room - some cookies, milk and miserably small packaged portion of cornflakes. But that's not even the worst thing - there was everything for 2 people, although we were staying with out kid (there was 3 of us). Anyways, we booked suite for the location and view - which did not dissappoint. But given the price, with few small improvements this host could easily get much better reviews.
The view from our suite was amazing, exactly as on the pictures. Suite is very large, comfortable and well equipped. Location is great for discovering Firenze. We might be back.

United StatesIf you like to sleep in cool temps you may want to chose a different option. Yes there is air-conditioning, but NO you do not have control over the temperature setting. The temperature in the room ranged from 23.7 - 24.4 celsius (~ 75 degrees) during our stay, which was a bit warm for sleeping.
Location was amazing. You literally step out the front door into the Plaza in front of Palazzo Vecchio. The Uffizi Gallery, The Duomo Museum & Cathedral, Giotto's Bell Tower, the Baptistery were all just a short walk away. Even the Accademia Gallery is less than a mile away. Shopping, amazing restaurants, and the Mercato Centrale also in the neighborhood.

United StatesThe continental breakfast consisted of just some small packaged items. We either ate out or bought our own breakfast items (yogurt and cereal) at a local market. The view was not what was shown in the pictures, but not everyone can have a good view.
The best part of this experience was the woman who managed the facility. She did everything she could to make our stay as comfortable as possible, and always with a warm smile. The room was nice and met our needs. The location was central to the main historical sites of the city.

FranceI believe I took the least expensive room available at the time. While it was spacious and had a huge very nice bathroom, it lacked personality (a bit more colors, pictures …would not hurt) and the windows overlooked an inside court where the local restaurant and neighbors keep the trash cans a few floors below. It was also loud (old building) because of the local restaurant business . Given the lack of view, something ought to be done to compensate and bring this room closer to the image presented . The staff did their best to help with the noise situation but without ear plugs some nights would have been difficult.
If one likes authentic (in this case : with character, unique, representative of the city), this certainly is a great choice for the price - The location can’t be better / and Simona, the keeper, was very sweet, helpful, tried her best to make everyone’s stay the most comfortable. -

United KingdomDon't bother with the breakfast here, you're offered a very basic continental style provision in your room. Best to go out to the lovely cafes in the square. Our favourite was the Rivoire opposite. NO AIR CONDITIONING - AC system installed in the room but locked off by the proprietor. Room quite warm, forcing us to open the windows at night and be eaten alive by MOSQUITOES. "INNER COURTYARD VIEW" - sounds lovely, listed on the web page but view didn't exist in our room. NOISE - not from street but from noisy restaurant staff putting out waste in the viewless back "courtyard" below.
LOCATION, location, location! Need I say more? Nice open dining room area allowing guests to use shared kitchen facilities during their stay.

GreeceExpected a better breakfast for the price. They had already laid some baked goods in the room for all the days.Not a huge problem for us but im putting it out there. The only other negative was the noise from restaurants and people outside but it's something you should expect when you choose a central hotel in high season.
We really liked the room ! It's very big and comfortable.Bathroom also nice and spacious.The location is perfect right in the piazza Della signoria and close to everything. Couldn't be better! Reception was only in the morning, she was nice and helpful.

United StatesThe room was spacious and comfortable accept we wish we could have had control of the AC since it was locked at a higher temperature than we would have preferred. Also the shower is a bit small, but overall these are small complaints and our stay was really good.
The location of this place is absolutely incredible, right outside the door is the square with the Medici palace and there are great restaurants accessible morning and night.

Philippines- Self check-in as the reception is not available 24h is reasonable, but information in advance would have been nice. I had to reach out to the hotel to ask them to share the instructions for self check-in. Thankfully I read the fine print before boarding my train from Rome to Florence... - The bed was not the most comfortable and I probably had the thinnest pillows ever here. - "Breakfast" is left in the room and consists of packed (mass-produced?) bread and pastries. - Walls are pretty thin and I could hear everything so early in the morning.
I was able book this for a good deal considering the location and the size of the room. The hotel is located within Piazza della Signoria, and is close to everything, including the Uffizi Gallery. The hotel itself is a historic location and they describe it so well in a leaflet inside your room. Other things I liked: - Room was pretty big and spacious. The bathroom I would say is excessively spacious! - The staff (2 ladies manning the hotel) were warm and friendly.
