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.).

I was given a much smaller room, than the one I paid for. After that I was asked to delete the review and be refunded because it was a mistake with the platform. I deleted and got nothing in return. Maria is a dishonest host and people should be aware. Screenshots of the room I paid for and the conversations are attached. EDIT: since this is the only way to contact you after you stopped replying my messages: no it's not 12 euro it's 120, as you promised a full refund. Lies will only get you this far!
Hello Miss, our structure is welcoming and finely renovated, we will send you the €12 refund, thank you for being with us, thank you very much:)

Verified reviewParked across the road in 'Quick no problem parking' online and was really cheap for a few days. Tram across the road also running into centre every few mins. Hosts very adaptable to my needs and lots of extras like fruit/water/coffee which felt very welcoming.

There was a constant buzzing sound within the room. I slept ok because I was tired. Otherwise it would have kept me awake.

Verified reviewMaria was a wonderful host! She welcomed us warmly, and answered every question. The apartment was beautifully decorated, with a cute small sunny balcony very pretty. WiFi connection was working, there was hot water in the shower all day long, and we even had a bottle of wine waiting for us on the check in which was very kind. Totally suggested, we would come here again. It's 20 minutes away from the city center with the tram, and the tram stop is 1 minute away from the flat. Also there is a huge grocery store nearby, very convenient.

Verified reviewA lovely studio apartment with small balcony situated in a very convenient location on the tram line between the airport and city centre. Perfect for our one night stay with early morning flight. The tram only takes 4 minutes to the airport , and approx 10mins to the city centre. The apartment was very clean, quiet and nicely decorated, with a comfortable bed. There is a large local supermarket just around the corner which was very convenient. A great place to stay. Communication from the host was very good. Would definitely stay again.
A little tricky to find at first with a car as it is tucked in behind the shop fronts on the main road and it’s hard to see any street numbers from the road. But once we found it on foot, it was all good.
Good morning Julie, thanks a lot for your visit and your feedback! We appreciate your detailed review and hope to host you in future! Our kindest Regards, Stradivarious Staff

Verified reviewClear check in instructions, friendly reception on arrival, super clean and modern. Location is only a short tram journey to the centre and the stop is really close. Some helpful tips provided too!
My only comment would be if you're a light sleeper, maybe consider that the walls are thin and you could really hear others. Fine for us with only a couple nights stay and we might just have had noisy neighbours!
Dearest Guest, thanks for your visit and your feedback. Happy your stay was comfortable and it met your expectations! Really sorry reading about the noisy neighbours. The wall are soundproofed but not each guest puts the right attention, probably. If you had advised us we could have found a solution, indeed we inform our guests at the check-in "please contact in case of need/problem" and after reading your review I asked in private which problem you have had but no answer... Funny story: your (supposed noisy) neighbour was annoyed himself by your reprimand! See you in future! Best Regards, Staff Stradivarious

Verified reviewClean and comfortable. The staff was helpful. Amazing shower. Beautiful decoration.
The distance from the city center is somewhat far (at least 20 min with public transport) although there is easy access via tram. The parking is not on the property, so you have to walk back and forth with your suitcases. It is not allowed to eat inside the room, which is quite odd, and there is no mini-fridge. The building, especially the lift, is old, which may not appeal to everyone. The room itself is super comfortable, new and well decorated.
Dear Guest, thanks for your visit and very happy you appreciate our facility and its details! We do care that the guests feel cuddled! We are very sorry about some points you dislike such as the position: many guest, found it however convenient, far from city center chaos but easily reachable (12 min via tram, 15 min door to door) and close to many other services. In any case the distance from the center and the address of the facility are displayed on our page, so the guest can eventually Google it and have an idea of the distance with the places interested into. About the parking, normally we suggest in the instructions to the garage (2 min walk) to leave the suitcase in room before driving to the parking spot, probably we missed this info. We are sorry you found it uncomfortable. We forbidden to have ENTIRE MEALS to avoid damage to bedsheets, as with previous guests happened and we had to pay for extra cleaning. Anyway, the host can have his own rules... (There is another sign about energy waste, since we take care about the environment, but not all pay attention! Many people leave lights and air conditioning on when they are out.) Really sorry you didn't ask for the fridge, we could have offered it upon request. We hope to see you in future! Best regards, Florinda and Gabriele

Verified reviewThe owner was very helpful and responded quickly. The room was clean.
A bit hard to find, had to pay extra for a parking, the building was old, but the floor the apartment is on was renovated. There was a sign not to eat in the room?!
Dear Guest, your review left a sour taste in our mouth, above all because after read your feedback we tried more times to have details and explanation but you didn't give us the honour to answer by phone. Your review was a cold shower since during your stay we haven't received any complain at all. About nothing. Let's analyse your negative points, one by one: 1. about the "difficulty" to reach us: before arriving, we sent you all the information you needed to navigate you from the street to the facility, how to reach the parking and to take the car back (everything supported by picture and video, also how to present the ticket of the parking to enter and exit). And please, let me underline it, not all the facilities offer so many details, mostly they gave you a street and that's all! 2. cost of the parking: it is displayed on our page that the parking is available upon reservation and the relative cost is € 9,00 per night, you missed the information, ok that's fine. By the way, before reserving a spot we informed you about its cost and that it was not included in the price of the room, you agreed. You could either decide to refuse or find another cheaper solution. Moreover, you asked to use the parking longer that normally allowed and we agreed it for free... 3. The building is old: the picture is public on Booking.com as well. And yes the building is not beautiful, but have you slept outside the building or inside? Have you find an uncomfortable/untidy/unclean/not well equipped room? Our rooms are spacious (18 mq), no noise from the street and have everything that can make you feel like at home (we have even installed 4 towels hooks in the bathroom - 4! How many do you find of it usually?) a bathroom shelf, hairdryer, TV, a mirror, mosquito net to the wimdows and everything you need for a comfortable stay. 4. The sign that is not allowed to consume meals in room: some previous guests ate on the bed and they ruined us the bed sheets with fried oil and other stuff, we had to loose money for extra cleaning and we put the signal to avoid that people bring an entire meal in room, not snacks, entire meals or worse, order a Just Eat, as it happened. By the way, the owner can decide the rules of HIS OWN apartment. 5. Why a 5 point to the cleaning if you wrote the room was clean? A mystery. If something was not perfect (and it can happen) you could inform us and we would have found a solution for you. It's ok that everyone has different opinion about things or expectations but not fair to belittle our work and leave a bad impression of us for....nothing! In any case we will go on hosting people and honouring them with our services as we did with you. Hoping that one day you will face a real 5/10 points accomodation and you will change opinion about us, we send you our best wishes. Florinda and Gabriele

Minor item, but the balcony could be better set up to take in the outdoors or read from in the evening.

Verified reviewMe and my fiancé stayed at Stradivarious for one night for our anniversary and we LOVED everything about the place. The room is very spacious, very clean and comfortable. The place is situated in an amazing location, is very easy to get to, the public transport which is the tram is right in front of the building and you can take it and be at Florence airport in just 10 minutes or take the tram to go opposite way and be at the centre where Piazza del Duomo is in just over 20 minutes. There is also a lovely park in front of the building to go for a walk and there is a shopping centre beside it with nice restaurants and shops. If we ever go back to Florence which we hope we will for a longer period, we will definitely go back and stay there. We would also like to thank Florinda once again for accomodating what we needed to make our stay even more comfortable, she is so lovely and made our experience 10 times better.
The only thing that the property didn't have was an iron and a fridge but apart from that, everything was perfect.
Dear Angelica, thanks for the detailed (and super positive) feedback. It pays off all our daily effort to offer to our guests only the best. Thanks for the suggestions as well, they are important in order to improve our level and offer more service. Our kindest regards! Florinda and Gabriele
