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.).

Verified reviewFirst of all, these are wonderful hosts: Rachel and Alessandro - kind, responsive, hospitable. Secondly, a great location for a quiet rest after a noisy day, after walking around the center of Florence, after museums and a large number of tourists.
It was our pleasure hosting you and your beautiful family. We are happy you were able to rest and relax after a long day in Florence. Thank you for the great review and we wish to see you again. Enjoy your holiday 🌻 Rachel & Alessandro

Verified reviewThe property is located just outside of the beautiful city of Florence and in the Tuscan countryside. The views were just breathtaking. The hosts, Alessandro and Rachel, are such great people. My son lost his bag in the taxi and Alessandro and Rachel were calling the taxi company to get it back for 45 minutes that is. That shows how much dedication they put in to their guests to make their stay even more enjoyable. The room that we were staying in was so cosy and inviting. The food was great and we had a very pleasant experience.

Verified reviewFrom the moment we arrived at Sunshine Suites Florence, Alessandro and Rachel made us feel incredibly welcome – as if we were old friends coming home. Their warmth and hospitality set the tone for an unforgettable stay. The accommodation itself is something out of a dream – beautifully designed and immaculately maintained. Everything was spotless, and the serene atmosphere made us feel like we had stepped into another world. We slept like babies and waking up to the sound of birds singing was the perfect start to each day. Breakfast was an absolute highlight every morning. Every dish was prepared with care and love, and Alessandro’s omelets were simply the best. It's rare to find a place where breakfast becomes something you truly look forward to. Beyond the stunning setting and delicious food, Alessandro and Rachel went out of their way to make sure we enjoyed Florence to the fullest. Their recommendations for local restaurants and hidden spots were all fantastic – it felt like we had personal guides to the best of the region. We also had the pleasure of trying their own olive oil – rich, flavorful, and clearly crafted with the same care and passion that they put into everything else. We left with full hearts and can’t wait to return. Sunshine Suites isn’t just a place to stay – it’s an experience we’ll always treasure.
Thank you for such an amazing review. You were our first guests from Bosnia so we wanted you to feel at home and have the best experience possible. It was lovely meeting all of you and we agree that it was like meeting old friends who are now new friends🤩 We really enjoy what we do and we are happy when our guests understand what this place is about connecting, relaxing and finding beauty & peace in nature and with eachother. We really appreciate how you captured every detail about this place and especially breakfast. We believe that if you sleep well and have a great breakfast you will most likely have a wonderful day which we know you did🤩 We will definitely keep in touch and wish you all the best 🌻 Rachel & Alessandro

Verified reviewThe villa is situated in the vicinity of Florence on a incredibly beautiful domain full of olive trees and vibrant colours. By car you'll get to Florence in 10 min max and by bus in half an hour. The hosts, Alessandro and Rachel, are an amazing couple, extremely friendly and thoughtful that make you feel at home right from entering the gates. You have a covered parking space inside the domain. There are two bus stops nearby, one is located at 20 minutes walking distance west from the location, this one has buses all the time, and another one to the east, at about 10 minutes away that only has buses until 3-4 pm. The rooms are very cozy, big and well decorated, the bathrooms are completely renovated. You have a shared kitchen that you can use. WiFi is available at the location. You can have breakfast and dinner here if you talk with the hosts. The food is amazing. The cherry on top is Shalom, one of the most sweetest dogs I ever saw. All in all, a wonderful experience.
Everything was great. We have just one recommendation: it would be great if there were some mosquito nets on the windows.
make you feel always so good when you host people that like the place they've chosen, that was your case. Happy people sharing some life's moment while having a vacation . Was great to have this connection. we thank you sincerly for everything.

Rachel and Alessandro are nothing less than gems - welcoming, incredibly warm, subtle, attentive... They will give you the best advice on where to go, where to eat, what to drink... breakfast is simply amazing. I felt home the moment I arrived and was genuinely sad to leave. Definitely my go to place from now on whenever I am in Tuscany.

Rachel and Alessandro turned our honeymoon into a beautiful experience and provided us with great tips and recommendations. They are impeccable hosts and we feel very blessed that we found this little gem in the heart of Tuscany just a few car minutes away from the city of Florence.

No criticism, just a note: Brace yourselves for mosquitos and bring plenty of repellent since this homestay is out in the countryside.
