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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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.).

AustriaI don't like if the bed has a common blanket but I think that's usual in Italy.
The location is perfect, just a short walk away from the dome There are several cafes quite nearby for a excellent breakfast, Mario is the best host we ever had, he took care to arrange a garange for the car (approx. 100 m away), and also for checkout of the garage. There is free coffee and fruits at the appartment. Wifi is fine and Mario's bakery is in the same house. We will definitely come back.

BelgiumFrom a practical view Da Mario is the best option for a short stay In Florence. It is smack in the city center and only a short walk to all the main sights of Florence. Our host Mario was very generous and helpful in advice for restaurants, parking spots and all kinds of short-cuts. Saved us lots of money ! Mario does not offer breakfast, but there are spots enough close-by for the real Firenze-morning experience. The room(s) are on the backside of the building which makes them cool and quiet. The bathroom is brand new and spotless clean. We had a great time in Florence.

CanadaMore a problem with confusing addresses and Google Maps - but we took a little while to find the actual guesthouse because there seem to be two sets of numberings on the street. Google Maps sends you to the wrong 13 but just walk down a little further along the street and you'll find it!
Location was great - a short walk from S. M. Novella train station. We didn't need much for breakfast - so some fresh fruits was perfect for us. Room was clean and comfortable. Mario was very helpful and flexible with dropping off luggage ahead of check-in and also checking us out earlier in the morning so that we could catch an early tour before we left Florence. If you like burrata, we had a burrata sandwich which was just delicious and creamy from Mario's Panificio just downstairs.

The cleanliness and organization of the place is impeccable. The Internet is very good. And there's the panini that Mario makes in his store, very tasty, worth trying.

TurkeyThere were no negatives. I could not find any negative comments about this house, which is a large and spacious historical house and located in the center.
The facility was excellent. Two days before our arrival, the owner contacted us and took care of us finding the property until the last moment, offering a warm welcome and coffee. The facility is meters away from the center. The facility is a historic and excellent big house, big rooms, excellent cleanliness. Fruit, Coffee, all kinds of kitchen supplies, very clean bathroom and toilet. Very warm welcome, sweet and charming owner. He provided us with parking at a very cheap price. It was a perfect short holiday for our family.
