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 StatesWe loved everything about RFC Repubblica.
A hidden gem in the heart of Florence. The location is absolutely unbeatable….steps away from Iconic landmarks, restaurants, and boutique shops. It made exploring the city effortless and magical.

ItalyI cannot speak highly enough about the staff. They set up parking for us, met us to help transport our luggage and gave us a brief explanation of the amenities once we were shown to our rooms. The lady that prepared breakfast was very kind and made everything to order and it was delicious! And the location could not be better for us. Very nice furnishings and immaculately clean. We would definitely stay here again! Even the parking garage attendant rode a bicycle for us to follow to get us out of the ZTL area, which was unexpected but much appreciated. I would find it very hard for someone to be disappointed after staying here.

United StatesThe location in the Center of town was a bit noisy. The traffic, crowd noise and music from the plaza could be heard until 2 a.m., and a fight broke out on the street below one night that woke us and several other people in the neighboring properties.
Great location in the center of Florence. Hotel was nice and the staff was very pleasant. We had early morning excursions so we were unable to enjoy the breakfast that was paid for before heading out for the day. On our third day, the woman serving breakfast brought coffee, croissants, and an assortment of meats to our room before we left.

Our room faced the busy public square but we could close the window and the room was quiet and relaxing.

I thought the location was fabulous. Right down in the square. The restaurants right outside the hotel were wonderful. Staff was friendly and helpful and the room and bathroom was extremely spacious and clean. Bathroom products were wonderful as well.
