How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Noisy next door occupants waking us up 1.30 and 4.30 in the morning.while trying to open their door. Brutal.

Verified reviewBeds were super comfy, loved having a fully equipped kitchen & fantastic proximity to key points of interest. Hosts were very responsive and check-in & out was a breeze! I appreciated having the photo of the door to help recognize that we were in the right spot upon arrival.
While we appreciated having a private bathroom, it was detached & down the hall from our room & only accessible with a key (or to be left unlocked?)
Thanks a lot for your wonderful review! We appreciate your kind feedback ☺️

Verified reviewLoved staying here! The place definitely exceeded our expectations. Great location, cute apartment that has everything you might need and very nice hosts. We booked a room with a private bathroom and had 2 lovely nights in the Strange Uncle. We loved our very cozy bedroom with a comfortable bed and absolutely enjoyed the nice trumpet lamps made by the owners, the cute small table with a coffee maker and the spacious modern bathroom. We also had breakfast in the shared kitchen and it was delightful. Also met the hosts - a very nice and smiley couple. Will book again if we return to Florence for sure. Definitely recommend!
Thank you so much for your wonderful review. Can't wait to host you again 🤗

Verified reviewLocation was great, close to San Lorenzo & only ~10 minutes or so from the train station. There is a small, basic kitchen, so you could make a cup of tea or breakfast. Also bottles of cold water in the fridge. The instructions to access the apartment (codes etc) & rooms were very straight forward too.
Wasn't sure where to put the recycling (mostly paper).
Thank you so much for your wonderful review. We'll make sure to make the recycling signs more clear. We are grateful for your kind note and hope to host you again sometime ☺️

Verified reviewit was in such a great location and the decor of the property was done so well!! A private bathroom and the well ventilated room was very nice!
The bed could have been a bit softer..and weren’t many staff around that often but apart from that!

Verified reviewThe location was very good! Close to the Duomo but far enough away so it was quiet. The AC worked well and it was nice to have the ensuite bathroom.
This B&B is not staffed. Everything is done through messages and automated pin pads/locks. When I stay at B&Bs, I think part of the experience is to meet the owners and gain local knowledge from them.

Verified reviewThe original place which we booked is on renovation, so the staff arranged us a stay in another nice hotel. It was really comfortable and we had a lounge outside where we can have tea or coffee.
We wasn't aware we were given a total different hotel. We lost our way as the staff didn't inform us the building name. There were 2 types of block numbers which is very confusing. It was rainy, and we had to keep calling the staff to tell us the way. It took us an hour to find the place, which isn't convenient.

Verified reviewThe location was perfect, we were centrally located and got to check out all the different things in Florence that we wanted to see. Almost everything was a quick walk away. Bred and Nadja were very accommodating and made our stay very comfortable.

Verified reviewGreat location, close to Piazza San Giovanni. Clean place and had a pod coffe maker which was a plus.
There is construction going on at the main floor so there is construction dust all over the stairs and wasn’t able to use the handrails which made difficult to bring luggage upstairs. Power outlets need changing, when conecting converters they were loose.

We need to share toilet and the flash doesn’t work well for the 2nd day we stayed. I understand this building itself is 300years old but the toilet should be up running. Apart from that, everything else is great!
