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.).

BrazilA bit noisy and the bed for a couple is not good, given that they put together two single beds so it gets with a hole in the middle of the bed
The staff is great and the room is big

AustraliaSmall inconveniences: the dim and indirect lighting in the bathroom; no full-length mirror, and nowhere for a suitcase holder, if there was one.
This was a comfortable and convenient place to stay in one of the busy parts of Florence. The room was at the rear of the building, on the top floor, accessible via a lift. It was very quiet at night, and sunny during the day. The bed and pillows offered excellent comfort for a good sleep, and the shower was hot and strong. The reception staff I encountered were always friendly and helpful. A big thank you to the fellow who checked me in - he was efficient and informative and extremely polite. Its great location meant it was only a short, flat walk to the airport tram - at €1.70 that was the cheapest, easiest trip I've ever had to an airport, anywhere.

SingaporeThe room was huge but poorly lit. The only reading night lights at head of the beds didnt help for proper visualisation after the sundown. French window next to the bed that admit lights during day time. It is impossible to sleep in during the day, esp after night travel. Some ongoing reno works. Single warm light in toilet. Impossible to see anything in the shower cubicle. Beds were without duvets and warmers were not working. It didnt state that there are rooms in mezzanine floors which need you to carry your luggages up and down the staircases from the nearest lift landing floor. The first hotel I came across that didnt provide duvets and we had to wear our thermal and jackets to beds!
Excellent location, a few minutes' walk from Santa Lucia Novella train station and tourist buses although the cobblestone pavements are not wheelchair friendly. You will need sturdy luggages with big wheels. Best for bagpackers. No electric kettle in the room. Staff has kindly borrowed one upon request. No water bottles were provided. Huge room, high ceiling with old furniture

Friendly helpful staff, allowed to check in early, easy to find, 5 mins from train station. Location right on the square, good WiFi. Great price for the location. Easy access to all the main tourist areas, shops & restaurants.

CanadaYou are really paying for the location. The hotel is very mediocre for the cost.
The location of this hotel is amazing!! It’s a five minute walk from the train station. Right in front of the Piazza di Santa Maria Novella. Tons of food options within the area and it’s another five minute walk from the cathedral. The staff are also very kind and helpful. The hotel is also very clean.
