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 use a weighted review system which means that 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):
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.
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.).

United StatesI’ve stayed here many times over the past 20 years. The bathrooms need some renovation to modernize these. The single bed sheet and only one tiny pillow per person takes away from the cool villa experience.
The breakfast in the courtyard was delightful! Great to have espresso machine on site and good breakfast options.

ItalyThe breakfast is acceptable but it can be enhanced.
Very well located for visiting Firenze, while searching also to have a parking spot for your car as well as some fresh air around. The location is 20min walk from the Pallazzo Pitti, 5min away from the entry in the parco Boboli, e 30 min walking from the Duomo while passing the most famous bridge in Firenze.

United KingdomThere was no water in the room and no way to make any coffee or tea for ourselves. Also no ironing board or iron. If we wanted water we had to ask at reception but it was all chargeable. It’s been a long time since I’ve had to pay for water on top of the room cost so I was disappointed by this.
The location was fantastic. Close enough to walk to everything but just that little bit outside the center that meant it was peaceful and quiet. The room was large with a nice seating area upstairs.

Switzerland- be ready for mosqitos! There are generally many in Florence....but there were also a few in the room. My husband could not really sleep.... :( i would suggest having repellents that you can put in electricity sockets - bath was quite small without shower curtains
- perfect location, walkable distance to old town - green area + hotel has a green garden too where you can sit and relax - private parking for free > this is a big benefit in Florence! - hotel with a charm, rooms with 4-5m ceilings, old school vibe, quite wide & comfortable beds - nice and welcoming staff - hotel provided baby bed for free

United KingdomWorst hotel breakfast EVER! Just beige processed items from the supermarket, packet croissants, plastic ham slices, cheap cereals…terrible! Such a shame given all the lovely fresh produce available in the local markets. Rooms felt like they needed a deep clean. Hotel felt a bit old but tired and shabby.
The hotel was about a 20 minute walk from the centre of Florence, so convenient for accessing all the sights. Nice to be staying in a quieter area away from the centre. The hotel has parking on site. Reception staff were very friendly.

Francebreakfast really needs a rework: industrial juices, cakes/pastries from supermarket, choice is very limited. we really did not enjoy the breakfasts. this should be a priority improvment for the hotel. just for this reason I would not recommand it. lots of dust in the rooms (bathroom, underneath the bed, on the tables near the beds).... beds are made daily but during the week we spent on site the dust in bedroom was not cleaned once...
quiet and beautifull surroundings, nice choice of restaurants nearby 20 minutes walk to ponte vecchio (few minutes via bus lines 11 or 36/37) close to bus stop for Lines 131 and 131 R to go to sienna and san gimignano Nice building and great garden; very nice place for the breakfast Very friendly team

Great sleep. 250m to Porta Romana city gate and the rest of the old city. Easy to find; and park on site. Professional, helpful, friendly staff. Easy drive/access to all parts of Tuscany. Stayed 2 nights, would happily stay again.

Czech RepublicThe breakfast would need little bit of vegetables and a slice cheese maybe? The cleaning was poor - hovering the carpets and proper dusting in between the guests is really a base and I doubt it was done properly before our visit. Not talking about the everyday cleaning that could be done on demand only.
Lovely historical vila changed for a hotel. Little bit worn out but it gives it the nice patina feeling that goes alone. The staff is really kind and helpfull. The position is perfect - it is situated in a calm neighborhood but walking distance to all the historical sites.
