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 KingdomWe are familiar with the hotel so knew exactly what we were expecting . The only thing that I feel could be improved is the quality of the pillows . My daughter and I found them to be very hard but after a full day in Florence, it didn’t affect our sleep too badly .
This is our third time staying at the Cosimo de’Medici. The location is perfect, 5 mins walk from the train station and 6/8mins walk to all the main sights . The hotel is small but very accessible , the staff were very friendly and professional . The breakfast room is also small but it offers a selection of fruit and cereal, pastries, croissants etc , fresh juice and hot drinks . The hot food option is limited but adequate . We had a twin room, the air conditioning was a delight in this current heat . The room was cleaned daily and the bedding and towels also changed each day . No complaints at all.

MalaysiaOh unfortunately the room fridge is not cooling at all.
The location is just around 3mins walk out from the train station of Firenze SM Novella. Safe and good neighbourhood for excellent pasta, I would highly recommend II Corbolino restaurant, is just 5 to 7mins walk from the hotel. Florence has the best pasted ever! Also, do not miss out the Fotoautomatica machine just along the hotel at street side nearby the souvenir store. The vintage ID photo is the best memory and souvenir for own and the machine only in Florence. Not Rome not Milan.

United StatesThe breakfast provided was good but limited, and didn’t start at 7 am like they said it would. The location is a little hard to find but easy to remember once you see it!
It was easily accessible from the train station and in a safe space with lots of foot traffic but not noisy. The staff were AMAZING and so helpful, they even let us keep our bags there after checking out because we had an early checkout and a late train home. Room was nice and cool but not cold, and the bathroom was very nice. Would absolutely stay there again.

BrazilRoom was a bit small.
Florence is an amazing city, the location is excellent, walking distance from pretty much anything of interest. The hotel lobby is not right at the entrance of the building, is a little further inside, some people may miss it at first sight. It's a classic place, I really felt like I was in old Florence.

United StatesBreakfast staff member was a bit short the first few days but we had a different staff member on the last day who made up for the previous staff member's behavior. The rest of the staff was great.
The rooms were a good size, beautifully decorated, clean, great location. They offered laundry services which was extremely helpful.

PhilippinesThere was no coffee machine which was a bit of a downer considering Italy has the best coffee. We requested for a water kettle which was promptly brought to our room
This was very near the train station so it's easy to move around Florence. We booked a tour early the next day and it was a breeze to go to the meeting point. There are 2 supermarkets nearby so it's easy to buy stuff we need for our stay. The mercato centrale plus the open market selling various souvenirs to bring home (bags, scarves and other stuff) was also very near.

United StatesOur bed and pillows were extremely hard. The breakfast was good, but more fruit and a variety of main courses from day to day would much improve it.
Great location close to the train station. Restaurants, Duomo, David, Last Supper, and Hop on Hop Off bus stop. Staff was extremely accommodating. We were disappointed in our room and the staff moved us to a perfect room.

AustraliaAt times the air conditioning did struggle a little in the intense heat,
Wonderful staff. Ilaria and Antonio at the front desk were fabulous. They did everything possible to enhance our stay in Florence, by assisting us to book tours, recommended some great restaurants and generally were a pleasure to deal with. The rooms were spotlessly clean and comfortable. The hotel is less than five minutes walk from the main train station, the hop on hop off bus has a stop directly across the road and is right in the centre of the main restaurant and market area. For an old hotel, we would give it ten out of ten.

United KingdomVery convenient to the central station, just a short walk. The hotel does not have its own bar but we understood that before booking and so that was absolutely fine for us. The room was really nice and the bathroom the best part being spacious and new. Cannot fault the place, enjoyed the old lift to our floor, perhaps and issue for some but not for us. staff very friendly and helpful.
