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.).

The hotel was amazing, an ancient heritage building. I felt very safe because the doors are locked with a card to get through. The size of the room exceeded expectations. The room was cleaned every day and toiletries were replenished. I had a small problem in the bathroom which the staff fixed while I was enjoying the city of Florence. Good breakfast, plus that they optionally provide quality coffee not from a machine. You can have breakfast on the beautiful terrace overlooking the Pitti Palace. The location is perfect especially for solo travellers, everything is close at hand.

United KingdomWe are vegan and gluten intolerant and it was disappointing that the chef(s) in the hotel restaurant were not prepared to steer away from their menu even to prepare for us a simple pasta with tomato sauce! (Even with a few days’ notice). Thankfully the hotel was surrounded with a number of vegan and gluten free cafes, patisseries and restaurants.
I had an injury and was wheelchair bound, and we were placed in a perfect room with easy access to the entrance. We found the staff on reception extremely helpful and kind. Thank you ❤️

United KingdomThe reception staff were friendly and welcoming and very helpful with information for parking and facilities. The hotel was right in the centre of Florence so had easy access to the main attractions and museums. The building was lovely and fitted in beautifully with the surrounding old city. The breakfast patio overlooking the gardens was really nice in the morning and the breakfast was also good.

SpainNothing! We loved everything about the hotel! If I were to make only one very small comment - it would be that we found the roof top bar staff a little young & inexperienced! It didn’t really affect our enjoyment however! We loved our stay in every way!
The location was excellent! We seemed to be central to absolutely everything & no where was far by foot! Our room was opposite a quiet courtyard & we slept really well! The room was comfortable & spacious. This was one of the main reasons we chose to book this hotel as many other hotels had reviews saying people couldn’t sleep due to local noise. I can assure you we did not hear a thing & slept soundly at Hotel La Scaletta, it was a welcome escape from our energetic lively days! 😆 The views from the roof top were also breathtakingly beautiful. We didn’t book dinner in advance & so they were fully booked unfortunately. We were able to have drinks earlier on the balcony & roof top however, so at least we could get to see & enjoy the views.

United KingdomOnly small things but considering it's now 4 stars worth mentioning. No hanging space for anything long, no drawers of any kind, just shelves, teeny table beside bed not a proper bedside table. Great to have a kettle but only 1 coffee, 1 milk, 1 teabag each which seemed unbelievably mean! Small bottles of water provided first day but never again. It's so lovely in every other respect- just seems a bit cheapskate
Beautiful old building - we had a ground floor room that opened on to a lovely courtyard garden. Unbelievably quiet considering the location. Lovely staff, great location

United StatesWe just wish we could have stayed longer! The building is stairs-dependent and a little maze-like, which was fine for us and kind of entertaining. May not be for everyone, access-wise, but we loved it.
Every staff member greeted and treated us pleasantly, professionally, warmly, and helpfully. The roofdeck is simply spectacular. The sumptuous breakfast buffet up there was an easy choice throughout our stay, and we decompressed from travel with a cocktail and sunset views the afternoon we arrived. Our room was clean and comfortable, and the location is central and handy to all our destinations. My daughter loved gazing out those tall windows in our room.
