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...).

United States of AmericaNothing. We liked everything about this place.
The hotel is conveniently located within a short walk to the Duomo, Accademia and many fine restaurants. The hotel consists of 3 buildings situated around a garden. When you enter the Mona Lisa, you leave all the noise of the city behind as you enter a peaceful garden setting. The hotel's public areas are adorned with art. One evening they had a harpist play - she provided a relaxing and romantic atmosphere. The staff is extremely friendly and will do whatever they can to be helpful. They have a nice breakfast with a variety of breads, pastries, fish, cheese, Italian meats, fresh fruits and cakes. Ramish took great care of us at breakfast over the four mornings we were there. Next time we make it back to Florence, we will return to the Hotel Mona Lisa. My only suggestion is to get a room with a terrace overlooking the garden.

United States of AmericaInitially was given a room on the ground floor which was very dark. Asked for a room change to the first floor which was much better with natural light and view of the garden. Ask for 1st or second floor room if able.
Great location - walking distance to all the museums and cathedrals as well as the Ponte Veccio Bridge but off on a quiet alley. Felt safe as a solo traveler. Good showers and A/C. Wonderful breakfast with fresh fruit delicious pastries and eggs if you wanted them. Go to museums early in the am as they get very crowded after 11:00 am.

United States of AmericaNothing. This is going to be "our" hotel for every stay in Firenze going forward.
The room size and quality exceeded expectations; the courtyard garden was peaceful, and the breakfast buffet was exceptional. The hotel staff was friendly, warm, and amazing. We couldn't have been more pleased with the hotel, the room, the location. Just minutes to the Ufizzi, Galleria, Duomo, and restaurants, cafes, and the Firenze equivalent of bodegas to stock up on water, etc. But the hotel made it all happen. Being happy in your hotel makes all things possible.

United States of AmericaLots of little step downs as you went from one area to another. Two doors with locks and two small steps to enter our bedroom. You just had to get used to it and it was fine!
Wow! Once you walked through the door from the tiny tucked away street it was amazing! Lovely contemporary furnishings in the lobby area, ancient sculptures and period art works and the breakfast dining area was fantastic! It was once a convent then a home/palace. Lovely original place from the 15th century! Full service hotel- wonderful breakfast and staff.

AustraliaNo tea or coffee facilities in the room or available for self service. Ordering from the bar was inconvenient and drinks very expensive compared to what we paid on the street. The gardens were lovely but the policy of no outside food in the garden or at the sitting areas made it uncomfortable for us. Aperol Spritz in the street with the same service & quality was €5-8 but in our hotel €15. As we were staying 4 nights and didnt want to eat out all the time we would have loved to have maybe some pizza from takeaway and ordered drinks from the hotel and eaten in the garden.
Loved the building and gardens. The room was small but comfortable. Staff were helpful and nice to deal with. It is in a fantastic location to walk to all the attractions.
