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 are 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 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.).

IndiaThe lighting was very dim in the main room. It was night when we checked in and it was not a good first impression. Also the wifi was down one night and it was only fixed the next afternoon. Finally, the dryer would sometimes stop midway so we had to go and check up on it
The location is excellent. A quiet street that is just two minutes away from bus, taxi and restaurants. 5 minutes to cross the bridge over to the tourist attractions. The first floor apartment was spacious and clean. The kitchenette worked well.

United StatesDidn't realize that the stairs to the apartment would be so steep. It was difficult to get luggage up to the apartment. Also, we asked for a 12:00 checkout and were told that we couldn't get one. But, we could stay until 1:00 PM if we paid them 20 euro. Didn't feel that was customer oriented.
Beautiful apartment. Very clean. Great location.

United StatesWe stayed on the ground floor, so there was noise from the street and the door opening/closing as other guests went to their apartments. Also, it was very dark and a bit musty in this room because of its ground floor location. Overall, we were happy with the stay and would just request a higher level room to stay in if we were to return.
The location is excellent. It is in a quieter neighborhood with artisans, interesting shops, and excellent restaurants nearby. It is very easy to walk to all of central Florence. The apartment had a perfect little kitchenette in it. The staff was pleasant and helpful.

Palazzo Belfiore was a great place to stay for our family’s first visit to Florence. Location was fantastic- close to Ponte Vecchio, block from Pitti Palace - and easy walk to just about anywhere else. Also, it was on a fairly quiet smallish alley. Many restaurants/shops nearby. Inside, there was plenty of space in our unit (#5) - was great to have a small kitchen (with toaster/kettle, etc) dining area, sitting area (with additional sleeper), and TWO bathrooms! Worked out great for our crew. Also, facility has laundry in basement (some units are in-unit, I believe) for small fee - much appreciated. Pure water also supplied in basement - also nice feature. AC a plus for sure during a warm summer. Staff very responsive (via WhatsApp) - helped set up easy late check-in.

IsraelHowever, I must mention a few points that might need improvement. The apartment is located on the 4th floor and there isn't an elevator. This might be a bit challenging for older guests or anyone with mobility issues. I would highly recommend the installation of an elevator or a lift system to make the apartment more accessible. Secondly, the lighting in the apartment felt somewhat inadequate. The rooms were a bit dimmer than I prefer. While this did not majorly impact my stay, an upgrade in the lighting system would greatly enhance the experience for future guests.
My recent stay at Palazzo Belfiore, in the heart of Florence, was a delightful experience that I would certainly like to recount. Firstly, the location of the property was exceptional. The proximity to the city's center made access to Florence's renowned historical landmarks easy and convenient. A special mention must be made of the famous ice cream shop nearby, a treat that should not be missed. The communication with the property owner was seamless and cordial, which truly enhanced the overall experience. They were prompt in their responses, knowledgeable, and very accommodating to our needs. The apartment itself was very comfortable. The rooms were spacious and immaculately clean, providing a restful retreat after a day of exploring the city. The decor was tastefully done, enhancing the charm of the place and making our stay truly memorable.

United StatesCan’t find a single fault.
I can’t believe I had the good fortune to stay in this property - it felt like being in a museum (in the best possible way). I so wish we had been able to stay for longer. It was incredibly well located, cool - thanks to very good AC - and with TONS of space for a family of four. Chiara, the concierge, was incredibly kind and helpful when we realized upon arriving that our son was sick. Overall, I can’t say enough good things about this property.

United StatesI didn't realize that one of our rooms was up 3 flights of stairs - but the couple who had that room at the top loved it. We drove into the city, parked at a nearby garage, and walked to the hotel, then returned our rental cars to the airport. I highly recommend that you do not drive in the city...my husband is a great driver but said it was the most stressful hour of his life!
We were surprised by how large the rooms were! We loved the impressive ceilings and walls. It was nice to have a small fridge in the room. Very close to the Ponte Vecchio.
