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.).

Great location, about a 6 min way to Santa Maria Novella train station. Right across San Lorenzo central market so nice food choices during the day! The hosts were there to meet us and they were both exceptionally welcoming. They helped us with our bags which were very heavy and explained things and gave us ideas and places to eat and visit. The building has an amazing terrace where you can see a beautiful view of Florence and even the Duomo. We relaxed up there all nights of our stay with a bottle of wine. The room was very comfortable, and we had everything we needed. Love it and would stay there again!

AustraliaThe room was quite small however with some rearranging of furniture we were able to comfortably access our luggage.
We enjoyed the location as it was only a 3 minute walk to the Duomo and had many markets and shops right at our doorstep. Our host Gabriella was very helpful and responsive to anything we needed, giving great recommendations for places to see and eat. The room has aircon and the mini fridge had cold water. Daily room cleaning was not included but Gabriella was great in providing fresh bathroom towels when needed.

IrelandRoom we booked was on the small size but larger options are available.
An ideal location close to both train station and main attractions. A very nice roof terrace with wonderful views across the city. Excellent communication from the owner. Very comfortable with good amenities. It is located on the third floor of a building with no lift so worth considering for anyone with mobility issues.

This hotel is wonderful! Very kind hosts who met us personally and showed us around and oriented us to our room and our location. (Also, we missed our flight connection and were about 6 hours delayed - they very kindly accommodated our later than expected arrival.) The room was cozy and comfortable and had everything we needed. The bed, bathroom and linens were exceptionally clean. And the view from the balcony in the evening is absolutely stunning. We were also able to leave our luggage on our last day before we caught our train, which was a huge help. We would stay here again!

United KingdomThe accommodation is up 60 + stairs without a lift so might not be suitable for everyone - but its an ancient building and you only have to carry your luggage up once. And, if it wasn't up a height there would be no view worth looking at from the roof terrace so its well worth the climb if you're fit enough.
This property was in a superb location for access to the main line railway station, tram system and tourist attractions. It was very easy to walk to everywhere we wanted to go during our stay. The room was spotlessly clean with a superb air conditioning system (and in temperatures of 35-38 degrees that was very much appreciated!) and the roof terrace was a lovely space for breakfast in the mornings and a drink in the evening. when it was (theoretically!) a bit cooler. Fabulous and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend.

CroatiaAs many noted, this is on the 3rd floor, so if you have trouble walking up the stairs or have tons of heavy luggage, that might be a problem. We travelled light and had no problem walking up the stairs so it felt like we got a deal!
Fantastic location in center of Firenze, walking section, close stroll to Duomo, Uffizi, Galleria dell’ Accademia, Ponte Vecchio, and the train station, all the restaurants and cafes. Amazing rooftop terrace with the view of the city, great during the day and beautifully set up to enjoy the evenings. We came in early in the day and Ugo was extremely communicative and helpful, letting us leave the luggage immediately so we can go for breakfast, coming back for early check-in so we can enjoy the whole first day in the city. Ugo also shared with us several great restaurants, gelaterias, and places with a great view of the Firenze skyline. We managed to try many and they were all fantastic recommendations. The place was extremely clean and had all the modern amenities you need, plus the charm of living in the old city.

United KingdomYou can't leave the aircon running if you take the keys so it takes a few minutes to cool the room when you get back. I would like to see a more robust fire escape plan but I guess that's common in many old Florentine buildings. Be prepared for a lot of stairs!
We were welcomed by Ugo who couldn't have been more helpful. The rooftop terrace was an unexpected delight. The room was cosy but well equipped and the shower was great. Really good location close to all the main attractions but surprisingly quiet.
