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.).

CanadaIt was a 15 minute walk to the central tourist area. We enjoyed being out of the overcrowded and noisy area, but some may find this less convenient.
I really enjoyed the building and the grounds. The building has a majestic stone staircase that was reminiscent of a 15th century villa. There was a beautiful courtyard, and we enjoyed drinking a glass of wine there. At the end of the day. Our room looked out over a plaza, and the windows opened so we could look out over the plaza. Breakfast was included and was excellent.

ItalyThis is a church-run establishment therefore no frills but a good value. It is in a quiet part of Florence and a 10 -15 min walk to all the sites. Parking is available which is a huge plus for car travelers.

Excellent location, the building is super quiet and extremely clean, the rooms are minimalist but perfectly comfortable! The staff is also super nice! The experience is great if you look for the perfect balance between safe, clean, nice, quiet place to stay and value for money. It is located just nearby the piazza Santo spirito where you can find very good restaurants and bars.

IsraelThe breakfast was a little too simple, but not bad.
This place is amazing if you are traveling with a large family. We have four kids so finding a single hotel room in Italy is very difficult, but we were able to get a single room with five beds and a pack n play. The room was very simple, just the beds and a bathroom, but it was large and airy with high ceilings and spotlessly clean. The grounds are beautiful and the location is great. The breakfast was very simple but it was fine. Overall it’s not a luxurious place but it is very nice, very comfortable, super clean and a really great base for exploring Florence. We also appreciated that they had parking that was able to accommodate the van we rented, which isn’t always possible in Italy especially in the old sections of towns.

PortugalThe mosquitoes were a pain in the evening, as the windows don't have screens. Location, for the most part, is rather quiet... but many ambulances seemed to be going all throughout the nights we were there.
Staff were SUPER kind and helpful. They provided maps and took time to explain good places to visit. The breakfast was very well done and the gentleman that was in charge of waiting on tables, clean-up and restocking did a nice job. The room was a good size for a family.

South AfricaThe beds weren't very comfy - they could definitely provide better/more pillows and blankets. The breakfast was great, but when we arrived for breakfast the first day it was almost completely finished and they didn't restock anything, so if you want to get some breakfast, go early!
The building and rooms were really beautiful. The location was great too. The views over the garden from the room were beautiful.

Overall, I really liked the building, and the people working there were all nice. It was better than expected. Lovely, historic building Good location on the West coast of Arno Good size of the room Breakfast had chickpeas, those were great Everything as described in the ad

United StatesAs other reviews have noted, sound does travel from one room to another. Didn't bother us, as our neighbors were quiet. Doesn't have high end amenities, but you don't go to Florence to spend time in the hotel fitness center.
Very nice to be in Oltrarno (across the river from the craziness of the main tourist sites), but easy walking distance to everything, plus there are many nearby restaurants and bars (we highly recommend Le Volte Firenze). And if the timing is right for you, don't miss the Brancacci Chapel (Masaccio's breakthrough frescos), right on the same square as the hotel.
