How guest reviews work
Each 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 are 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 Wi-Fi. 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 arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise 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 else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. 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, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done 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 of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
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, and 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 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 may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

Can’t think of anything
Amazing location - steps away from the sights we wanted to see but in the area where Fiorentinos live and eat. The host was above and beyond. If we come to Florence again, we will definitely want to stay at La Casa de Ghiberti. The only thing, it is probable the first choice for many people, so will make reservations way in advance.

As a B&B they're unable to offer any cooked breakfast, which isn't the host's fault!! But what was there was great, right down to the homemade cakes!
Everything was great about La Casa del Ghiberti, the location was only 200m from the Duomo, but felt like it was secluded and completely away from crowds. The hotel was small but perfect, great rooms, lovely atmosphere. The host, Andrea, was amazing. Made us feel at home from the moment we arrived and couldn't have been more helpful and honest. Oh, and Lola was great too ;)

Highly recommend. The location was amazing and an amazing host. He made our stay in florence very special and even more magical. The host assisted us with bookings and went the extra mile with getting it sorted and ensuring we had a great time. The room was well sized and suited us perfectly. Having a bath was a welcome item after days seeing florence and surroundings. Plus we got the added benefit of getting Miss Lola welcoming us in the morning. As well as being a great venue, it was in a great location being right near duormo, we were in walking distance to everywhere and allowed us some early morning strolls to key locations while avoiding the crowds.

Our host Andrea went above and beyond to ensure we had a memorable visit to Florence. He recommended and booked local restaurants and day trips. Breakfast was generous and always served as per our time request. The rooms were lovely and the bed very comfortable. The B and B is in a central location and we walked everywhere. La Casa del Ghiberti is a B and B I would come back to and also recommend to friends and family.

Honestly everything. Its in a great location, all the main attractions are within a walkable distance. The breakfast was perfect, including great coffee. Everything in the B&B is super clean. The owner is very charming and we were super grateful to have his mini white pincher Lola around. Overall, its a great value for money.

This is a gem! Room is spacios and beautiful, clean with all needed amenities for a couple. Beds are comfortable, it is quiet and just perfect! Owner Andrea is going beyond and above to help and answer questions, he booked our tours and rebooked when some dates were changed. Breakfast is delicious! We didn't want to go home! It is also literally behind the Duomo, Andrea gave us recommendations for the best restaurant Zio Gigi around the corner and best pizza place, Yellow bar!

Wonderful location just two minutes walk from the cathedral. It’s easy to miss if you’re looking for it on your own, but Andrea was a great help in advance, keeping in contact to check we were on our way ok. Once there, the B&B is immaculately clean, generously sized room and bathroom with everything you need and great breakfasts - you’ve got to try the pastries! Andrea is also a fountain of knowledge for local places to eat and how to make the most of your visit, an impeccable host!

The only small issue was the noise from the street when we opened the window. I dont mind it and can sleep through all the noise but my friend struggled a bit.
Location is perfect. We walked from train station and reached the property in about 10mins. The property is beautiful and the host is fantastic.
