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.).

GreeceWhat a wonderful place and beautiful people running this property! Lucciano welcomed us and provided us all the informations for museums, nearby restaurants, what to eat, what to see. Every corner of the accommodation shows the care they have given to the place and makes you feel that you are hosted in their home and not just in a property they have for foreigners All their kindness and willingness make this property so warm and pleasant that the departure makes you emotional! Looking forward to come back soon!

AustraliaThe rooms were a little tired but nothing more than a coat of paint is needed It would be good to have milk available for tea/coffee.
Luciano was the best hotelier I have ever come across. He introduced the building, a little of its history and gave us an introduction to our room. He made sure we knew where to go for dinner (3 options) and how to find our way around Florence. The room was older but clean and in a building 500 years old. The elevator is to be experienced.

United StatesBellevue House is an older, delightfully authentic hotel that is conveniently situated close to the train station, local restaurants, and shops and is within easy walking distance of most of Florence's main attractions and museums. The owners, Luciano and Susan, were outstanding hosts! Kind, informative, and engaging. We needed a room with three beds, and they accommodated us with a lovely, comfortable stay. They have an elevator (note that it is a small one to two-person elevator), which is a plus for luggage, and there are stairs for traveling up and down if needed. If you are looking for a quaint, authentic, historical place to stay, this is one that makes you feel like a local. I prefer to live in the culture, and Luciano and Susan provided this experience. I'd stay there again.

United StatesLuciano made our stay in Florence very special. The accommodations were perfect and his recommendations on restaurants and places to visit were excellent. He went out of his way to make sure our time in Florence was memorable. I highly recommend this hotel and would definitely stay here again. This was the best hotel we stayed in during our trip to Italy.

JordanThe toiletries were not replaced, or the towels, and the cups and plates were not washed on daily basis, but maybe we needed to ask for that.
Mr. Luciano is a wonderful host and very friendly and helpful! The room is quite spacious and has a historic vibe which makes it more appealing! The location is great, 10 minutes to the Duomo, and 10 to the main train station. Beds are comfortable, there’s a water kettle in the room, and a fridge and AC, and a small lift. Would definitely stay there again :)

United KingdomIt’s old fashioned which wouldn’t be to everyone’s taste but we liked it’s quaint layout and the traditional styling. It had all we needed.
Well located very close to the main station, car hire companies and walking distance to the main fights of Firenze. It’s an old building but all functions well. The owner is lovely, extremely helpful and kind. The beds were comfortable, it worked very well for us.

JapanThe elevator is very small and very slow as they are adding an elevator to the old building. Luggage can use the elevator, but people move up the stairs.
Check-in was from 13:00, but I arrived at 12:00 and had a large luggage, so I asked if I could just leave my luggage, and they kindly accepted. He carefully explained the facilities of the hotel. I think that it is very close to the station and very easy to use.
