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.).

United StatesThree flights of stairs to the first floor no elevator. It’s to be expected in old Florence but as a small older woman I wrestled my 35 lb bag and almost didn’t make it.
The bed was firm but comfortable. The staff was pleasant and accommodating. The breakfast in the piazza at Caffe Perseo was excellent. Also excellent location! Uffizi was just across the square. River was a block away. Duomo was 2 blocks.

Breakfast at cafe/restaurant near by was exceptional, staff were amazing........ and last but not least the host/owner Giampiero was very kind, and could not do enough for us to make sure our stay was one to remember.

AustraliaThere was one morning where there were workers in the street pumping for ages which woke us up. But this is no fault of the hotel.
The breakfast inclusion was delicious. The location was great - close to everything we wanted to do! The staff were so accommodating, and we were greeted by name. When we had an early morning tour the hotel offered to make us a take away breakfast. Highly recommend staying here and we will definitely be back.

United KingdomLeaving, I didn't want to leave. This was the only thing I didn't like.
I cannot recommend this accommodation highly enough. From the moment we arrived, the check-in was seamless, and we felt warmly welcomed and cared for every single day of our stay. The staff are truly exceptional — friendly, attentive, and always ready with advice or assistance. They went above and beyond to make us feel at home, and nothing was ever too much trouble. The breakfast and atmosphere at Café Perseo were a highlight of our entire two-week trip to Italy — the best food and most heartfelt service we experienced. I already miss the warm greetings every morning and the delicious breakfast that was included in our stay. Our room was spotless, beautifully air-conditioned, and situated right in the heart of Florence, making it easy to explore the city. With the guidance of the staff, we found our way around effortlessly and discovered wonderful local gems. We were genuinely sad to leave because this accommodation made our time in Florence so special. It felt like a home away from home, and we will most definitely return.
