Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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...).

SerbiaIt is not that I didn't like, I just want to give the advice. The hotel would bloom with just a bit of refurbishing. Only replacing the old carpet would help. You can see the hotel is quite clean, but the fact everything is a bit older makes it impossible to get this really clean feeling.
Hotel is located perfectly! You are like 5min by foot from Santa Maria Novella, amazing. The staff is very pleasant and everyone is so professional. The hotel is very clean really. Breakfast is moderate, you have both croissants but the egs as well. In the night it's quiet, and rooms are well isolated.

United StatesVery close to the property you have to walk past a different train station and there are about 60-100 people standing out there at night making you feel very unsafe and uncomfortable like if they wanted to swarm you, it would 100% not end up well for you. I had to do a detour every time I wanted to walk towards sightseeing or the Mercado.
Very helpful staff. Very very helpful. Very basic room. Loved that the little fridge had a small freezer compartment since I always need to freeze an ice pack for medication. Breakfast that was included was basic but really tasty and fulfilled what you needed. The train to the airport is literally almost just across the street from it. The main train station to other cities 100m away. I believe there was a Hertz right next door to it.

United StatesNoise. Not street noise, as our room was not street side. You hear a lot of building noise throughout the night. Bring earplugs.
Location. Next to the train station and not too far from city center. There is enough space in the room for your stuff. Good water pressure in the shower. Very clean. Air con worked very well. Liked the roll down shutters. Staff was pleasant. Breakfast isn’t special, but decent and enough to carry you to lunch. Tram 2 stop directly in front of hotel to take you to the airport. Service to airport begins at 05:00. We travelled by train, so it was very convenient to be near the train station.

CanadaIt was difficult to find, room is very dated and small. Coming back in the night was not the greatest because the lighting is motion-activated and sometimes it took longer than expected to get them to turn on.
The staff were great and the breakfast was pretty good. It is not far from the train station and within walking distance to all main attractions.

United KingdomOnly thing would have been a clearer sign noting hotel location. We had street address but it was hard to find entrance.
Location from the railway station was approximately 10 minutes walk. Although it is not quite clear where the entrance to the hotel was, we had to ask for assistance to find it. A sign on the outside street would help. However, we were greeted warmly once we arrived. We had a decent sized room & spacious bathroom & the bed was comfortable. Breakfast consisted of a nice selection of continental foods.
