Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

It was in the perfect location, 5 minutes from train station Santa Maria and 5-10 minutes to every attraction. Fernanda was fantastic and made us feel like family.

United KingdomThe flat was very cosy and homely, and in a great location. We had the ensuite room, and it included a hairdryer with diffuser which is great for curly haired folks! The tea and snacks in the kitchen were appreciated and the balcony was great for evenings. The bakery around the corner for breakfast was amazing and having Cascine park to get away from the crowds. Fernanda was a great host and really helpful. When we arrived she went over a map and gave us tips on where to go based on what we were interested in, and during the trip messaged us with other recommendations. A terrace cafe with views was a highlight. Would definitely recommend staying here.

United StatesPerfect location, an easy walk from everything you want to see in the incredibly walkable historic city. Our bed was comfortable and our window gave us plenty of natural light — but with an excellent motorized shade for sleeping in. The bathroom was everything we needed. Despite staying over on a Friday night in a lively city, it was quiet inside and we slept very well. Fernanda was a welcoming and organized hostess, making checking in easy and leaving our bags convenient. Her suggestions for getting out into town and seeing the sights were very helpful. She is knowledgeable about the city and its history and culture, and I appreciated her advice tremendously. Great value for what we paid! When I return to Florence, this will be where I stay again.

AustraliaThis wasn’t a big issue, however it wasn’t greatly advertised that the apartment is shared with another room and a communal kitchen area. There are locks on the bedroom doors which solves this issue but it’s one to be aware of if you are a person who wants the privacy of your own space.
The property is in a great location. Easy to access all the main areas of Florence from here. Beautifully decorated and good facilities. Air conditioning was great and Fernanda was a fantastic host.

Our host Fernanda was very accommodating and welcoming. She made sure we were ok when we arrived, gave us many suggestions on food, tours, and sights around the city. It was really welcoming to have. We had sweets and snacks offered to us in our room and in the common fridge, everything is very organized. On our last day Fernanda was so sweet and accommodating to keep our luggage's after the check out, since our flight was late she arrange to have them kept for us until we needed to pick them up in the evening. I cannot express how grateful we are for her and for her hospitality.

United StatesSignora Fernanda is fabulous! She obviously loves her city and is very prepared with all the best and most pertinent information for visitors to Florence. Signora Fernanda went above and beyond, to locate something I important I needed but couldn’t find myself. The room is comfortable and has everything of home, truly. A steady stream of hot water showers for consecutive people…a bonus.

United KingdomNothing!
Fernanda could not be a nicer or more welcome host. Follow her advice and you will not go far wrong on a lovely trip to an absolutely beautiful city. We were only there for two nights but would happily return to both Florence and this apartment. This is actually the host's home but she stays elsewhere during your stay. Fernanda gave us a lovely overview of Florence as she greeted us and showed us around the apartment. We stayed in the larger room which was comfortable and homely. The aircon was a welcome addition in the very warm summer. Although we didn't use it much the kitchen and small balcony would be great for a longer trip. The location is excellent, so easy to get around Florence, be it by bus or walking (the best way to see the city in our opinion!). Plenty in the vicinity as well be it restaurants, shops, bakeries and a gelateria.
