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 KingdomThere was scaffolding outside our room window which meant we didn’t have the view over the piazza which would have been beautiful I’m sure. However, this wasn’t an issue for us as we understand work has to be done and these things can’t be helped.
Our room was very spacious and beautifully furnished, with a stunningly painted ceiling. Everywhere was so clean and comfortable, and there was even tea and coffee making facilities in the lounge for guests to help themselves. The breakfast was delightful and the staff couldn’t do enough to accommodate us. We had a lovely cappuccino with our breakfast each morning that was topped with a smiley face. 🙂

CanadaWe had one of those showers that you can't get the right temperature, when you go cold it goes hot and viceversa. The staff at our arrival was not very friendly. We required the valet service for our car and it seemed that they were doing us a favor.
Location was just perfect. The breakfast was also very nice, delicious croissants. The staff at the breakfast room was very nice and helpful.

United States of AmericaThere was nothing to dislike about Hotel Penini.
The room was lovely, very comfortable beds, with a little balcony over the famous Piazza della Republica in Florence. So there was a lot of happy going on in the Piazza on this beautiful spring night, as soon as we stepped back in the room and closed the French doors it was silent. Staff were quite wonderful. They allowed us to store bags for a few days while we had a car trip to Urbino before checking in. Then had the bags waiting in our room when we arrived several days later. Their breakfast room is very sweet and the offerings were fantastic, very fresh pastries and wonderful coffee as well as fruits, cheeses, etc.. Everyone we interacted with was pleasant and helpful. Grazie mille Pendini!

United KingdomThe only down point (not down to the Hotel) but the noise pollution at night was disappointing. Why oh why does the council allow refuse collection at 5am???
The hotel was ideally located and the staff were very attentive and polite. Everybody spoke English which was great. The room was a little smaller than I hoped but very clean.

GreeceHotel Pendini is situated in the very heart of Florence. Our stay was unforgettable. Little details make the difference; free tea, juice, and coffee at the lobby, a nice breakfast basket because we had to leave at 07.00 for our excursion.. Thank you for your remarkable hospitality!

This hotel is very beautiful and is in a prime location. It is historic, but it doesn't feel "old." The decor is amazing and there are lovely touches such as photos from the past and high quality furnishings. It has everything you could want. We highly recommend!

United States of AmericaThe temperature was warm in the room so we would often open the windows. The furnishings were a little old and the room was certainly not modern, but it was still comfortable.
The location was great and it had such a nice old world charm to it. The sitting room near the lobby was a beautiful lounge with free coffee and drinks through the day. The breakfast was fantastic.

United States of AmericaI hate to say it, but I am pretty sure housekeeping went through our gifts from our trip to Venice and helped themselves to one of my purchases. I know I should have put more emphasis to managing my belongings, but it's just so unfortunate this occurs.
The location and amenities were just as we expected. Breakfast was delicious and staff delightful. Grateful for elevators and a room phone that worked for local calls.

The location was a very good stay , great location in the centre of Florence and only 10 minute walk from the train station. The room was large and comfortable, the breakfast choice was very good. The Hotel is full of history and interesting photos displayed. There was a nice lounge area and a bar fridge that you paid for items at the Reception desk, the prices were very reasonable.
