Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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 Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

CanadaAccess to plugs for phones, room housed 4 people, but there were 4 working plugs near beds for charging phones, extension cord didn't work. Although I was ok with stairs, if I were to travel with my parents, the amount and intensity of stairs would have been awful for them. I would increase the description of this
Loved the location The breakfast discount and dinner recommendation was great, Beds were comfortable, I would stay here again if I was in Florence

MaltaThe bathroom was a bit smelly at times (drainage) which would necessitate keeping the door closed so that the smell won't disperse in the bedroom. The kitchen hob was out of order although we didn't really need to use it, except for an electric kettle that was actually available (but maybe for others the hob might come in handy).
The location is very central a few steps away from the Duomo. Every other main attraction of the city is easily within reach. The area is busy and rather noisy till late but we didn't mind hearing the sounds of live music in the piazza and chattering of passers by; after all we were on holiday for a few days, so this did not bother us. The guesthouse is old, amenities are basic but sufficient, the room included a private bathroom and general level of cleanliness is good. Housekeeping is good and towels are changed daily. The room was comfortable in the sense that it was private and I could even go out at 5.30am without disturbing or bothering anyon. We could also keep luggage at reception on checkout which gave us the possibility of a few more hours before we departing Florence. All in all, we enjoyed our stay at the Guesthouse Bel Duomo and would highly recommend it for the good reasons given above.

Dear Giulio, It's me Laurentia, I am very grateful to you, for picking me up at the station (because I would have cried, if you hadn't picked me up) - I am happy to stay at your hotel - Hotel close to many attractions in Florence - Lots of food around the hotel - The view from my window is beautiful (Duomo Dome) However, if I may suggest, I hope that in the future your hotel will have an elevator. Thank you so much Giulio, God bless you PS : and Yes Giulio, your hotel is safe because "Nobody eat me or stab me at night" hahahhahahha :)

New ZealandThere were a few minor issues, the sink plug was broken, the electric jug had to be changed due to a dreadful taste/smell, the apartment stove top didn't work at all but we hadn't expected one - I was just glad I realised before buying groceries to keep costs down - so always check the stove works!
Location was superb. Staff were helpful and accommodating. Fabulous stay.
