How guest reviews work
Each 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):
- 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...).

Dear Guest, We thank you very much for your kind comment and for sharing your experience with us : this affords us to improve our daily commitment to reach Guest expectations. We are more than happy to learn that you completely enjoyed your stay at Brunelleschi and that you have enjoyed the comfort of our Hotel ! Thank you for your kind word referring to the atmosphere and the décor of the Hotel Brunelleschi: it has been completely refurbished in 2013, adding modern shapes to the ancient buildings of the ‘Pagliazza Tower’, the ‘San Michele in Palchetto’ Church and a third facing Via Calzaiuoli, that together compose our property. Our Hotel is located in the very Heart of Florence, and we are deeply sorry that you had difficulties to reach us . We have on our web site, a section ‘ where we are’ , but possibly our indications and map are not enough to reach easily the hidden heart of the city: our Concierge is always at disposal to ‘drive’ our Guests to the Hotel , once in Florence. We do trust in welcome you again soon at the Hotel Brunelleschi. With my warmest regards Carla Balli Guest Relation

Verified reviewExcellent room with a lot of thoughtful features, high ceilings, impeccable service, excellent breakfast. Central location, just a few minutes walk to most tourist attractions. Still, despite its location, the room was very quiet. While expensive, this hotel provides a very good value for your money,
There is one tiny niggle. While the safe in a room is cavernous, it's located at a floor level, so you really have to get down low to use it. Older people may have trouble using it. It seems like a strange ergonomic omission in the otherwise perfect room.

Dear Guest, We thank you very much for your kind comment and for sharing your experience within the community: this affords us to improve our daily commitment to reach Guest expectations. We understand that you enjoy the location of the hotel: the floor map of the Hotel is due to the historical origin of the buildings forming the Brunelleschi: the Pagliazza Tower, the oldest Tower in the city, the Church of San Michele in Palchetto, actually lobby of the Hotel, and three ancient Hotels facing Via Calzaiuoli and Piazza del Giglio. Our Architect planned the corridors trying to respect the concepts of accessibility and linearity; therefore, she decided to add a lift to connect the different buildings without any architectural barrier. We would be delighted to welcome you back to Hotel Brunelleschi . Kindest Regards, Carla Balli Guest Relation

Unfortunately for the hotel there is a very noisy bar below some of the rooms that blasted out music until 11.30. The hotel supple ear plugs but I can’t wear them. That’s why I didn’t give full marks for location.

Service is extra ordinary -staff members were all wonderfull- always polite and helpful, making us feel like kings. Breakfast with a great variety , so we could eat different things each day. Location is perfect, with walking distance to all the main attractions in Firenze. There is a valet parking -a great asset in the middle of the city. There is an excellent two stars Micheline restaurant in the hotel.
The hotel is very old and outdated- old carpets in the coridors , no real lobby, and no chick.
