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...).

SingaporeThe facilities are dated, for example the faucets, the sinks. The bed was also not very comfortable but it was clean so it was sufficient for us.
The location is further from the city centre but its precisely why we picked this hotel as we wanted to spend time as a family within the hotel premises. The hotel is situation within a large compound with beautiful olive trees and little gardens all around which was perfect for my 1 year old son to run around in. The villa was impeccably clean although the room facilities were rather dated. The staff was always friendly and breakfast was served in a beautiful glass house every morning overlooking a small garden and pool. They also had a shuttle service to the city centre which was great for us although it was payable at EUR 2.50 per way per person. We went in November and the frequency was reduced so it was a bit inconvenient but we made do with the timetable and managed fine. We could also order in food using Deliveroo which was great since we couldn't dine out for dinner given the sleep schedule of our son.

United KingdomWell sadly there is just one thing that was not quit right and that is the restaurant. The menu was so disappointing with no pasta or risotto dishes and when I ordered the fish tasting menu I got a load of raw fish, something called Dolphin fish seemed to appear on the menu a lot. We had the bistecca (steak) on the last night and that was really good. We will be going again but will probably eat in Florence.
The hotel was once apon a time a grand villa privately owned and so now and I would say expanded into a lovely hotel sitting within beautiful mature gardens with some magnificent trees which must be ancient. The hotel has a feeling of opulence and grace which makes it a very relaxing environment. The rooms are great, swimming pool good, bar etc all good. Staff also extremely helpful and very friendly. You feel like a roman senator walking through your own villa grounds when taking a stroll through the grounds.

United KingdomTerrible coffee! Sad given we’re in Italy and no ability to watch any cable channels. Mainly all local which was a shame as we fancied watching a film on our last evening. Minor things though overall.
Situated just outside the city giving the Tuscan feel to our stay. Loved the traditional feel and warmth from the staff. Room with the most amazing view.

United KingdomAs above, but the only suggestions would be to have more choices at the restaurant for children and for there to be a more regular 'patrol' to collect the used cups and glasses that builds up near the pool.
Really liked the property, substantial and beautiful grounds and the pool was amazing in the heat. My only small suggestion would be for the restaurant to cater separately for children at dinner and lunch. Food was lovely, but expensive and there weren't necessarily straightforward children's choices - but this is where the staff pulled out all the stops and really helped us.

I will never stay anywhere else if I am lucky to visit Florence again. The entire place is absolutely stunning . The shuttle into the city was easy and cheaper than a taxi . The gardens are immaculate and the pool crystal clean and perfect after a long hot day walking the city . It’s a peaceful haven from the crowds . The staff are so friendly and helpful and go above and beyond to make the stay as comfortable as possible . Most spoke and / or understood English enough to understand . This place is paradise .

Stayed at Villa Olmi for 3 nights and had a wonderful stay. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Staying here was a nice break from the busy center and summer heat. They have a shuttle service that will take you to town and back. You can also reach the center and return with a Taxi! Room was large and clean, aircon worked very well. The grounds were beautiful and well kept. The pool was wonderful with towels and loungers. I would absolutely stay here again next time visiting Florence.
