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.).

United KingdomSo many many stairs but the location and staff made up for that. The decor was a little tired and an acquired taste, walls a bit thin but I would happily stay again.
Location, location, location. It was perfect. Also around the corner, (up more stairs!), was a self service cafe. 3 courses, drinks for 4 under 50 Euros! It was so easy to get to the station, the Duomo and everywhere else. It fitted all 4 of us and we had a bathroom.

RomaniaThe bathroom is not spacious. The breakfast is tasty, but not very varied.
The hotel is located right in the center of the historic city, a few hundred meters from the main sights. The staff is very nice. Good price/quality ratio.

United StatesThe room had two split twin beds and the bathroom was an external bathroom where we had to pass by the breakfast area.
The staff was very friendly and served breakfast everyday. The location was one of the the best aspects about this hotel because it was so close to the duomo, train station and river. Since this room had an external bathroom, there was a sink in the room that could be used.

SingaporeThere is no elavator. You have to climb the stairs with your luggage yourself. They do not have staff to help you with luggage. But the reception man was kind to help a little after he saw that I was really struggling with my luggage.
It is close to train station and everything else is just walking distance.

AustraliaOnly thing I didn’t like was the Toilet/Shower setup, this is quite normal in Italy to not be great in this field. Water would spill out into the bathroom from shower.
Could not have asked for a better location. Right in the middle of everything, short walk to all sites. Comfortable bed with great Air Con. Super friendly Staff. Super Simple yet good breakfast.

SpainThe hostal is in a third floor of a building with no lift. That's only relevant if you carry too much luggage. The room's bathroom is so small, you barely have space to move, and not very kids-friendly, definitely needs to be renewed.
Amazingly located this hostal offers economic cozy rooms with a nice staff. It only takes 2 minutes to reach the Cathedral. The included breakfast is simple but pretty complete. Although the rooms are not very spacious, they are beautiful with a classic Florence style and the beds are big and comfortable. Totally recommend if you want to spend a few days in Florence with an affordable budget.

Breakfast was lovely (nothing fancy, some bread, cheese, coffee and juice) and the lady who owns the hotel went as far as to knock on our door to make sure we didn’t miss it on our last day. They were all very nice!

United KingdomThe stairs up to the hotel are very steep and the entrance location is a bit confusing to someone not accustomed to Italian cities. That really was the only drawback that I experienced
The hosts were very friendly and helpful. I was able to borrow a transformer (I traveled from the UK) to charge my phone. The bedroom was of adequate size and the bed very comfortable. The breakfast buffet was plentiful. I also appreciated their storing my luggage for the day while I explored the city. The location is central, lots of restaurants and churches in the vacinity. Also a large bookstore near by, with a great selection of books printed in English. I had finished my book and was looking for more reading material!!

United KingdomGood to be away from the traffic noise as not on ground floor but knew before we booked that this meant a few steps to climb to get to our accommodation. ( Good practise for the sightseeing to The Duomo)
Basic but comfortable accommodation, very small washroom but good shower. Quirky room - amazing to fit everything in. Helpful staff who organised earlier breakfast to fit in with early online museum visit- heated rolls/ croissants were very filling.

HungaryThe shower cabin is very small, even for thin people. And overall the bathroom would need some renovation. We were there in the end of March and the room was pretty cold.
The host was friendly and helpful. Nice breakfast. We loved the baroque style room. It was quiet despite we had street view. :) The hotel is 3 mins walk from the Cathedral.

United KingdomWe'd have liked an extra 10 sq. metres, but nothing to be done about that, nor the long haul up the stone staircase to the second floor. Not a good location for heavy suitcases, but did what it said on the tin - an inexpensive but satisfactory stopping- off place for one night with an exceptional location - suited us just fine.
Exceptionally convenient for Santa Maria Station, the tram stop at Unita, and the Duomo
