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...).

AustraliaRoom facing the square and church seemed like a good idea, but unfortunately a lot of the noise penetrated the room ( even with double glazed windows ). Evenings could be a bit noisy.
Location is excellent, especially for train access to SMN Station. Easy stroll to the Arno and Duomo, and less cross in the area.

Quiet and restful after long flight, the sweet woman who brought me wine on front terrace gave me excellent restaurant suggestions. Some of the front desk staff could be a little friendlier but otherwise it was ideal and I would recommend to anyone desiring a restful

PeruThe air condition could use an upgrade. I visited during the spring, and the temperatures in the city were a pleasant 19 C/66 F. The room was at 24 C/75 F. I tried to cool it down, but it took a long time. I can't imagine waiting so long in the hot summer months to feel the room cool.
The hotel delivers on comfort, a very good room for a well-deserved rest after hours of walking, and is conveniently positioned a short walk away from the train station and main city attractions. For regular travelers like myself, who are a bit more relaxed and forgiving of the little details because "Things happen," you'll find a property that meets expectations for the price; it is not a luxury hotel, so don't expect it just because it has 4 stars; it's an old building like pretty much all of Florence that has been reworked over the years, yet you still find remnants of the years the building has and might find unacceptable for a 4-star hotel you're used to; personally, I find it an immersive experience. A solid 8 out of 10 in my opinion, I would definitely stay in it again.

GreeceI found the breakfast poor. I expected more, especially at these room prices. This was the first time I saw a hotel using plastic cups for juice and water. It is not only about location. I also did not like that the family suite was in another building outside the main hotel. Maybe I missed this in the room description but in any case this is a piece of information that should stick out.

The breakfast was great, I enjoyed the food every morning I stayed. The location is so convenient, it is about a couple of hundred meters from the train station, and it is so close to the duomo. The room was beautiful we had a view of the square in front of the hotel. the minibar was free, so we did not have to buy water when we were in Florance.

NetherlandsDogs in the hotel, had to share a lift ride with a beast of a hound and its owner. I'm allergic to dogs and didn't like that at all. Could hear it bark a few rooms down the hall during the day.
Spacious room, well decorated. Good quality feel to it all. Bathroom good and clean. Very comfortable bed. Breakfast plenty of choice and worth the money. Perfectly located near tram and all major attractions. literally in the city center. Taxi stand in front of hotel. Airport 30 minutes by tram for less than 2 euro. Many nice restaurants and bars around the hotel. The hotel itself doesn't serve lunch or dinner.
