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...).

United Kingdomthe single bed was a bit small for a tall person and to switch the a/c on or off you have to ask the front desk as it’s centrally controlled. the bathroom for the single room is separate but it’s private and very nice so doesn’t feel like a nuisance.
the hotel itself is beautiful- high ceiling, good light and brilliant staff

United States of AmericaOur shower had a persistent leak that spilled water on the floor. Rooms were a little hot.
Breakfast that was included was a great value. The staff was always super friendly. Rooms were just big enough and comfortable. The rooms were hot, but the front desk can turn on the AC. The location was amazing. Two really great restaurants on the same road (Ristorante Toto, Mangiafoco Osteria Tartuferia). Close to all the major sights in Florence, would come back again for sure!

AustraliaStairs lol. The lift only starts on the first floor, so you have. purple of steps at the door and then. full flight up to the lift. Difficult with heavy bags but the hotel is very up front about this on their website and advertising. saying I’d stairs are a problem, then maybe the hotel is not for you.
Excellent location. Only minutes from all major attractions. Desk staff were absolutely fantastic. (Great English and incredibly helpful with everything.) We’ll be staying here again if we visit Florence again. Also have great, easy to follow instructions on the website for locating the hotel if you are walking and don’t have mobile internet. (Walking a bit tricky on the cobblestone roads/paths, but we managed with two reasonably heavy bags.)

United States of AmericaWhat’s not to like! It is a beautiful building in a great location. But if you have mobility issues, you’ll have to go up one short flight of stairs to the elevator. But the staff is more than ready to help you up.
The property is on a beautiful street just around the corner from the Trinity bridge and the Ponte Vecchio. The hotel is two floors of a building that used to be one of Florence’s old single houses. We had the suite with a small patio and view of the river behind a beautiful bell tower. The staff (especially Andrea) is amazing, friendly, accommodating, and helpful.

United KingdomHotel Alessandra is a classic Italian hotel, with grand rooms and excellent service. It's also good because it has 24 hour reception, which is rare for the price range. The staff were very friendly and helpful and for the nervous travellers reading this review...everyone's English was perfect.

United KingdomNothing - for us, it was perfect. FYI - Elderly people or those with disabilities may struggle with the stairs up to the 1st floor, but there is a lift from the 1st floor up to the 2nd floor Reception.
The hotel is in an historic building in a narrow, quiet street close to Ponte Vecchio and a short walk to most of the city's famous attractions. Our room (12B) was large, with a big, comfortable bed, a big TV and a good, strong shower. The staff were lovely - very friendly and helpful - they are a credit to the hotel. If we return to Florence, we would happily stay here again.

United KingdomMinor point; the pillows were not soft enough for me. But that is a personal preference. To access the lift there are 2 short flights of stairs but I was helped by the staff who were really nice and went out of the way.
This is a great hotel, very centrally located. The room was huge and very nicely decorated. It was very comfortable. There was a daily maid service and the WIFI was excellent. They served breakfast in the room, promptly on the time I had requested. Warm fresh croissants, bread, cheese and nice coffee. One can choose other options as well. The location, facilities and staff are really good. Honestly this place needs to be accorded a 4 star not a 2 star. There are stairs to the lift but I requested help and I was helped by a fabulous receptionist, who hauled my heavy bag up the stairs for me. They also helped me on checkout and stored my luggage. I loved the place. I would love to stay here on my next trip to Firenze.

ItalyThere are a lot of stairs which can be painful with heavy luggage, but this is an ancient palace so it makes sense that elevators cannot just be all over the place.
Sleeping in a 1300 century palace is a unique experience. The place is located at the heart of Firenze, 3 minutes away from la Basilica di Santa Maria Novella, and at the check in you will be greeted by amazing hosts Lorenzo, Andrea and the other crew members that will make you feel at home.
