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...).

United States of AmericaThe hotel's own bar was weird, and even the hotel common areas were taken over by club-goers at night. So, there was really not a hotel bar/restaurant to feel comfortable within as a tourist. I felt more like an intrusion upon a private event every night instead of a guest at a hotel. Would I have felt welcomed there? I didn't bring a suit and tie on this vacation, and couldn't make myself 24 years old again, so I never felt the courage to ask. The Santa Cocktail Club doesn't really seem necessary for this type of place. Indicates the hotel's interest in local nightlife vs hotel guests. Maybe they do what they need to survive as a business/hotel, and that's ok. Just let me know ahead of time so I can plan. Check-out experience was a very cold, business interaction to pay city tax with the host having to change rooms multiple times to determine a city tax fee. Not even a "Ciao" as I dragged bags onto the cool, rainy streets. Interior rooms without a view are probably more quiet.
The hotel was really nice...excellent furnishings and common areas. Room was comfortable, and housekeeping was attentive. Staff was kind, for the most part. Location is near the train station, perfect for day trips by train, and still not far from any Florence attraction by foot. Decent breakfast. City view was wonderful, overlooking Piazza Santa Maria Novella. Overall, it was a good stay.

United KingdomAll good. My only issue is that the gym Could be better equipped - but that’s my ask. Gym was quite empty - so perhaps people don’t feel the need to lift weights after a day walking around.
Wonderful Location and history. Lovely breakfast room and bar.

United States of AmericaWe stayed in the larger three bedroom apartment in the annex building near the hotel. It was absolutely perfect for our family of six. The breakfast was delightful. The staff was so kind and friendly. We wish we could’ve stayed longer. It was the cutest apartment right in the middle of a beautiful square! We loved the balcony and watching people walk by and the birds fly in at sunset, couldn’t have been better!
