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.).

RussiaThe only uncomfortable thing may be night-time noise from the outside, but it was not very disturbing.
Comfortable apartments for reasonable price. The guest house is located 5 min walking from the train staition and 5-10 min from the historical center of the city. The room is spacious and equipped with all necessary. The bed and pillows are comfortable. The bathroom is large and it has nice shower. The staff is very kind and helpful. We stayed in Dafne Guest House for the second time and certainly consider it for next visits to Florence.

ChinaVery close to the street, it was always noisy ourside at night for motorcycles running. A rabbish collection piont is under the window, which is also noisy at early morning around 5-6 am. The bed is somewhat too soft.
Good location, just near by the train station of Florence S.M.V. A supermarket Conad is near by, less than 200m, which is convinent to but all things you need. The suit is big, containing a bedroom, a living room and a bathroom.

United StatesAir conditioning only turns on when the room key is set in holder. Probably not usually an issue, but it took a while for the room to cool down during the heat of summer 2023.
Great location near the train station, but not too close. Updated bathroom, very nice. The managers name is Nadia and she did a terrific job. Made us feel special, but I'm sure that she gives personal attention to all of her customers--superb personal work ethic.

IsraelYou better give a bottles of water to your guests it's very basic. Two of our morning was very hard because they had very very loud construction works that shaked all the room and wakes our up at 8:00 and it seems you don't even care. The building is not an hotel and the entrance at the rooms floor doesn't that welcoming.
Premium location!!! Best in Florence for sure. Very beautiful room. We had a bit problems with the air fan in the shower that didn't work and the light at the bathroom mirror didn't work as well but at the bottom line recommended.

United StatesStaff seemed very unhelpful. I mistakenly changed the wrong room from 3 to 2 people. It did not change the price when I decreased people. But to correct the mistake, the hotel wanted 35 euros or they told me to cancel. I had a total of 5 rooms booked, and I could not cancel. They accused me of making multiple changes, which was not true. Just unwilling to help seemed very rude.
The location is good.

United StatesThey could have responded to us, and provided a refund after the experience we had.
Had the worst stay here because there were bed bugs all over the pullout couch that one of us was sleeping in. When we notified the property that we discovered them on our last night there, they tried insinuating we brought them because we didn't discover them until the last night of 3. When I asked about a refund, they said all they could do was cover 30% of the cost of the one night we saw bed bugs. Booking.com and they even reached out to the property but got no response. I understand bed bugs can happen, but Daphne guest house again tried blaming us as US travelers bringing the bed bugs (we absolutely did not), and then back tracked to say it's a problem all over Florence. Then they told us they won't offer any compensation for 90 days because they need to file a claim with insurance. This doesn't seem like something the guest should have to wait for, even if the business does. I feel like it was a sketchy way to have us wait for a resolution before posting a review during the busy summer travel months so they can continue to book the room. But we're posting so others don't have to deal with a gross, dirty experience like this with poor customer experience. The bathroom was quite dark and moody which after the bed bugs seemed quite suspicious. It's definitely over priced for what you get. And when you pay that much, you'd hope to receive good customer service and a clean stay.
