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.).

SpainLocation 2 min away from the train station which is just one station from the central station. Ground floor apartment with an upper floor bedroom and a sofa-bed, bathroom and kitchen on the ground floor. Comfortable self check in, Gladys is a lovely host and super communicative and helpful, she let us leave some stuff in before the normal check in (as we booked just 1 h before arriving and gave us lots of tips where to eat (and the food was great). Parking outside secured in the closed residential area where only residents can park (entrance by code). Super clean apartment with all you need inside. Good internet and smart Tv. We spent just one night because during the day we visited Florence but all in all it was a relaxing night to charge the batteries for our next trip. Thank you Gladys, we would definitely recommend you and come back one day!

United StatesI loved being near the train station and not having to walk up 300 flights of stairs on a mountain (Ravello). Easy access to a walkable city made our stay pleasant. The property was cleaned and prepped for our stay.

United KingdomI'm very picky about pillows and the pillows were flat and hard. However, we discovered that in the five towns/cities we stayed in on our trip to Italy, that all the pillows were the same!
Gladys was amazing. She sent us every bit of information we could need - nearby supermarkets, bars and restaurants, how to get into Florence (apartment was just across the road from the train station and only 1 stop). She checked in regularly with us to make sure everything was OK and was very friendly and helpful. I would highly recommend this apartment. It has everything we needed and was in a very convenient location.

United KingdomGladys was a wonderful and understanding host. I had a stressful incident where my phone screen broke halfway through my trip. Because of this, I lost all my details, and we were late to check out as I tried to get my phone fixed the morning of checkout. I did not have a way to contact Gladys, and had to leave you a note to explain. After I returned to the UK and was able to contact her, she was very understanding and kind, and didn't charge me late check out. It is so nice to have that care and humanity in the world. Thank you so much Gladys! The apartment itself was lovely, and very well situated. Beds were comfortable and everything was clean. It was minutes from the train station so very easy to reach the centre, and also for trips to Pisa. A very safe area! 10/10 would 100% recommend this apartment! Thank you Gladys 😊😊😁

TurkeyNot that bad but maybe the water heater system can be enhanced and the second bed from the sofa can be renewed.
Considering that you cannot find a proper parking lot in the city center easily, this apartment can be a good option for accessing the best historical places by train. You can park your car close to the apartment, walk 150 m, get on a train from Firenze Rifredi station, get off in Firenze Santa Maria Novella station and start your tour easily. Everything was well considered, the apartment was cosy and peaceful. Especially, directions to find and enter the apartment, instructions to utilize the stuff and advices for restaurants, markets and other facilities by the host-Gladys were brilliant.

BelgiumIt's the second time in 5 months I booked this appartment. That says everything I guess :) I can only confirm my first review: The apartment is very clean and well equipped. The entrance to the train station is a 5 minute walk and the train gets you to the center of Firenze in just 5 minutes. In the kitchenette you’ll find everything you need to prepare breakfast or a lunch. But there’s a nice (and cheap) bar on the backside of the apartment (It's closed in the weekends though). Gladys is a very nice host who does everything to make you feel at ease. She gives you a lot of tips to enjoy your stay in Firenze at the most!

United StatesWe had zero complaints.
Gemme was a perfect spot for my wife and I during our stay in Firenze. The apartment was clean, convenient, and not without its own charm. The loft style bedroom is also kind of cool. The location overall is absolutely perfect. Literally across the street from the local train station, and one stop away from Santa Maria Novella station, which is Florence’s major hub for all connections, and is the literal heart of the city center. Also within the gates of the property is Ercole cafe, which is a great little spot for coffee and pastries in the morning. It’s literally steps away from the front door.
