Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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):
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...).

Very nicely renovated room looking over the garden. The beds are super comfortable. Beautiful roof top bar with great views over the city. Nice breakfast, very attentive and helpful personnel. Great location: near st Maria Novella we could go visit all the attractions by foot.

TurkeyThe only thing that I had a problem with was the staff at the reception. We ate dinner at the hotel and had some welcome drinks when we first arrived. During check-out, she told us that we drank prosecco and bear and we need to pay for it which we were told they were welcome drinks. I wanted to tell that, we were told that they were complimentary if we need to pay of course we would do so. She goes “we are not going to die from 20 euros.” which I thought was a bit rude.
Everything was very lovely. We really enjoyed our stay. The location is incredible but the most beautiful thing was the building. You could really feel that history. The breakfast was really delicious as well. They upgraded us to suits because it was available which was a very nice thing to do. I would definitely come back again and recommend everyone to come here. The staff was very nice too. Such a unique experience!!

RomaniaWiFi was not always functional in our room.
Location is great, you're 1 minute away from the Santa Maria Novella church, 3 mins away from the train station and 8-10 minutes away from the main attractions in Florence. Breakfast was amazing value for money and the staff was really kind and always smiling.

ItalyThe only thing that we didn’t like was the temperature in the room. There were times when it got very hot…

ItalyWe did not know the rooftop terrace was closed and apparently it opens only during the summer. It was the main reason we chose this hotel because the pictures looked nice !
We liked the location and fast check in process. Also, the breakfast was pretty good.

AustraliaThe bed was way too soft. Suspect it had a topper on it and as they were two twins pushed together, I tended to fall into the middle. The room was way overheated, so glad I was able to open the window/door and sleep with them open. The bathroom was tiny, barely room to sit on the loo, but the room was a good size, so guess there has to be a comprise. Post covid there was no food or beverage service in the hotel outside breakfast. That was disappointing as a solo traveler it would have been nice to eat in on occasion, or have a spritz in the garden - even if it was February.
Breakfast was amazing. Coffee great and selection of food was brilliant. Staff friendly. The first room I was allocated was small and dingy, as I was there for 7 nights I asked for it to be changed, which the gracefully did do. Big thanks for that. Location close to the station and all the action in the old city was also great. The room had windows I could open, which was refreshing.

United States of AmericaThe only minor dissatisfaction: the bi-fold glass shower door was poorly designed. Water dripped down from the bottom of the shower door to the threshold and then spilled outside to the bathroom floor. Every time we finished taking shower, we had to use a few towels to dry up the very wet and slippery bathroom floor. The bathroom wall base molding was expanding after long period of moisture and its paint started to peel off, meaning it was a constant problem for previous guests. Except for this, the room and the bathroom were always kept clean by the housekeeping staff.
Only a few minutes walk from the Central train station. Good breakfast, Friendly staff.

ItalyThe noise. At the time of my stay, one of the lifts was out of order for refurbishment. The work was being done just under my room. I would have appreciated being told beforehand. There was also a children's party for carnival, and children were brought up to the roof, next to my room, and were a bit noisy. Again, I wasn't told anything. I understand that running such an amazing hotel isn't easy, but I repeat, I would have appreciated being informed beforehand so I could organise my stay.
Excellent position, pleasant staff, good breakfast, comfortable bed.

SingaporeThe toilets are very small but it maybe just a common thing with italian hotels. Our room faces the road so it can be noisy especially at night and early morning.
The hotel room is huge for the family. It has two floors with sufficient beds for the 5 of us. The room is very clean and it has two toilets which helps. The hotel is a 5 minutes walk from the train station so it is very convenient. And it is also close to most of the key tourist spots. The hotel staffs are super friendly and very prompt with their service. Finally, we simply love the breakfast as the room comes with it.
