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.).

We were only here for one night as we unexpectedly extended our stay in Florence by a day due to a rail strike, but would gladly have stayed longer. The very best feature is an elevator! We have been schlepping our suitcases up and down stairs for a couple of weeks now so it was a real treat. Especially since our room was on the 3rd floor. Great location just a couple of blocks from the train station. The block of Via Faenza that it is on is quiet but the next couple of blocks down are filled with restaurants. The room is quiet and comfortable with plenty of space. There isn’t a breakfast served but there are packaged pastries, cereal, milk, yogurt, coffee, and tea in the room.

Hungary2 years ago when I visited Florence I choose this place too. At that time they had a very hearty breakfast with fresh coffee, cold cuts, cheese, fresh bakery products and fruits etc. This time they just put some packaged food into the room every day. I missed the nice breakfast and its athmosphere very much this time.
This Locanda is run by a family. They are kind and caring, lookong out to help whenever you need it. The place is centrally located, touristic parts of the city can be reached by walking. I highly recommend whether you go for business or with family.

LatviaExcellent location - right next to the old town, restaurants, market, shops, public transport, train station, but in a quiet street. Very kind and accommodating host. It was very nice to be able to have a small breakfast - cereals, yoghurt, croissants. It was very nice! There is a fridge, drinking water, coffee and tea. Everything you need to relax quietly and undisturbed after a day's work. Definitely recommended for those who want a quiet and undisturbed holiday in Florence!

CanadaSome guest may find the bed not soft enough.
This hotel is very close to the Florence Train Station (less than 5 minute walk) so it is super accessible. It is on a nice quiet street and the host is very friendly and accommodating (including letting us drop our bags off at 11am). The suites themselves are spacious and the internet is super fast. The A/C also works well and the bathroom is a decent size.

South AfricaI honestly cannot fault anything. The road was being paved while we stayed there, but that will only contribute to the neighborhood once completed.
The location was perfect, an easy 5 minute walk to the station, the food and leather market and surrounded by lovely little restaurants. We were able to walk to all the main attractions. Andrea was very attentive and made us feel welcome at breakfast every morning. Breakfast is service in a small area, but were lovely. Beautifully prepared and displayed on a small buffet. The rooms was cleaned daily and was spacious and very comfortable. Despite being in a lively neighborhood, once we closed the windows and put the aircon on, we were able to sleep peacefully. Room was fitted with a large tv and and small bar fridge. The small elevator was perfect for luggage. Clear instructions were given for after hours check-in.

Road outside building was being replaced with all new cement blocks which will be beautiful but didn’t cause a problem, some guest complained about it we didn’t see it as a deterrent. Would definitely recommend this property.

United StatesThe hair dryer wouldn’t run long enough to be functional because it would shut off when it got hot. It would only work a few seconds at a time and shut off. We were told by a lady in the office that was intended to keep us safe. Made it sound like it was only us dumb Americans that were complaining. She did give me a real hair dryer to use and it worked well. So maybe they should upgrade? We stayed in other Italy accommodations that did not have this problem. Fortunately, this is my only real negative and it wouldn’t stop me from staying here again. The bed and pillows were a little hard for me, but we did sleep just fine. I do wish they would have on hand washcloths for American travelers.
It was clean, safe, attractive, and a perfect location near the train station. Our room was lovely. The staff was friendly. The breakfast staff was very attentive and there was a nice selection for breakfast. The shower had multiple sprayer options which was kind of fun. Our room had a surprise well beneath a glass floor which added interest.
