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 are 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 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 KingdomThe only thing missing is the provision of meals, but we knew that when we booked.
The hotel is ideally located. 5-10 mins walk from centre (Duomo). Rooftop Bar & lounge were excellent! Quiet, relaxing & fantastic views. Rooms were a good size & views were excellent. Breakfast was lovely. Plenty of choice, bright room & again lovely views.

AustraliaEverything exceeded my expectations, there wasn’t a single thing I would change.
What can I say about this hotel? There are no real words to describe my experience here. The Antica Torre is perhaps one of the most charming buildings I have ever set foot in. We not only stayed at this hotel but we had our wedding on their rooftop terrace. Both the stay and the wedding far exceeded any expectations we had (and our expectations were high to begin with). The Antica is ideally located close to all of Florence’s major attractions, in an area where we always felt safe to be no matter the time of day. Their rooftop terraces have the most incredible views of both the city of Florence and the river/bridges (the most amazing place for a wedding). All the staff were incredible and all so friendly. The breakfast was impeccable, the perfect selection of different foods so everyone can find something to eat without feeling overwhelmed. I also love the postcards they make available to guests, I have a set framed on my walls to remember my time there. Myself and my husband look forward to many more visits to the Antica, it will always be a go to for us in Florence.

United StatesThis is a spectacular place. A hotel in a medieval tower with large comfortable rooms which are are pristine, elegant and absolutely gorgeous with beautiful wall finishes and exquisite lamps. There are exposed original beams in the ceiling and beautifully polished wood floors. The bathroom is gorgeous and very spacious, with lovely wallpaper and products and a wonderful shower. The view out the casement window overlooks the Arno -across the river is a lovely vista of rooftops and the dome of a Basilica. This is a place steeped in history, (the family is linked to the building for centuries and the story is beautifully told in the welcome packet). The building is discreetly tucked away from the main thoroughfare, just off the Ponte Santa Trinita. It’s a lovely quick walk to the square in front of the Duomo, and the Uffizzi and Accademia are minutes away from the Duomo. Doing that early morning walk after a 7 am macchiato and pastry at the Caffe Scudieri was a very special experience as the city woke up. Breakfast at the hotel- also wonderful-is on the 7th floor in a beautiful open plan room with panoramic views of Florence. There is also a bar on the rooftop. (After a distressing mishap with another booking, this unexpected booking was a gift in a myriad of ways- and also was the room which comes with an adjacent room housing a mini spa with private hamman and jacuzzi which was delightful after a day of multiple travel obstacles.) The two ladies at the front desk are lovely, and truly kind and always responsive. As were are all the other hotel staff.

France2 things : a coffee machine in the room (but actually you can go to the bar ) The shower room may be equipped with 2 lavabos to be more spacious . But it is really okay as it is .
It is a pearl ! I recommend this atypical hotel. It is very well located in an ancient tower fully refurbished with taste and comfort. It is full of charm. Splendid view. Of course there is nothing fancy but details are well thought. There is a PIANO in the living room and one can practice freely ! I should have brought with me my partition. Good service. Excellent breakfast. I stayed many places in Florence before - I must say this one suits me the best.

United StatesCleanliness could have been better. I found a bloody string/floss on my bathroom floor and a piece of bloody hair or scab on the shower wall.
It is hard to describe what I liked - the charming way they displayed breakfast, the friendliness and willingness of the staff to accommodate our needs and wants. I would stay here a million times over and plan on returning soon. I could have stayed in their hotel, not visited any site in Florence and still felt like I’d had a good trip to Florence.

We had a room with a private terrace with sweeping views to the north and west. I can't recommend booking this room enough for a romantic getaway. The room was large and was lightly and pleasantly perfumed. Breakfast was the best we've had traveling in Italy (several locations). Desk was able to reserve an early morning taxi for us that arrived on time. The also have an extensive honesty bar with spectacular views. Clean, safe, and walkable to nearly everything in Florence. Hoping to stay here again.
