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'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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and Standards for Reviews
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...).

These are not deal breakers but more of nice to have / rooms for enhancement: - bin was not emptied when we checked in (rubbish from previous guests still there) but emptied the next day which I think was just an oversight. - shower head holder doesn’t stay/hold up and it slides all the way down, which is fine as for my height but may be issue for tall people; - AC was set at certain temperature at 24C (tried everything on the remote) but I was still able to sleep well
Antonio has been an excellent staff; I got quick response to my questions and requests. Room is cleaned daily and snacks and drinks are refilled on a daily basis which is over and beyond my expectations (other hotels only give one off freebies). There’s Lavazza coffee machine outside the room and we were given capsule everyday. Very smooth payment, check-in and check-out process. Very quiet and had perfect quality of sleep. Good perfect water pressure. The location is 20-30 minutes away from all places of interest. The room is spacious and got shelves and coat hangers in the wardrobe and a full sized mirror. We’re allowed to store our suitcases after checkout. Highly recommended place to stay in the heart of Florence.

Super clean and rooms ambiance is very good. There is coffee machine and everything looks new. The hosts were very nice, they gave me checkin instructions and responded quickly for my questions, and also on checkout they saw my luggage and offered me if I want to keep there for the day and provided me access to building and also common toilet.

I booked a budget single room, that had an odd shaped layout and sloping floor. Access to the bathroom, fridge and clothes hanging area was a bit awkward. Not a deal breaker for me, but might be for others.
Very clean room. Well-located near Santo Spirito. Quiet area. Super friendly and helpful staff. Comfy mattress. Good WiFi. Access to espresso machine in lobby. Good shower. Excellent choice in budget accommodations.

Nothing... in person, maybe choice of pillows...I like softer but didn't bother so much. Slept well.
Antonio was very helpful. Location was very good as I wanted to stay in Santo Spirito. You can walk to Ponte Vecchio in 10min. It is normally a quite street and windows are double glazed and nicely warm. I was there in november. Coffee is nice.

The bathroom was a little bit tiny but very clean and practical.
We stayed four nights at Althea Rooms. The rooms were cleaned daily. We slept very well (very good mattresses, no noise during the night in the area and from the other rooms). The staff was very helpful. The hotel is very closed to the Pitti Palace and to the Boboli Gardens.
