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 KingdomI wasnt sure about a shared bathroom but it was fine.
The owner was lovely. Really friendly and helpful. The location was not exactly central but a quick and straightforward walk into the centre and really close to the station which was important for me. There was a coffee machine in the room which was great. Room was clean and comfy. Not a boring bog standard hotel room which I really liked. I was travelling on my own and felt very welcome and safe.

DenmarkThe room I had didn’t have a toilet included which wasn’t really a problem but would be nice. There is no air conditioning in my room which would have been nice considering that it was high 30 degrees Celsius when I was visiting Florence. My room did have a fan that helped but the AC would have been better.
Location is very good as it is close to both the train station and the city center. The hotel has a very friendly staff that are on call 24/7 and is decorated very nicely.

AustraliaMy room was on the ground floor directly on the street so it was quite noisy overnight unfortunately and I didn't sleep that well, even with earplugs.
Excellent location in Florence, short walking distance to all attractions and the train station. The owners are delightfully warm and welcoming and made an effort to ensure I enjoyed my stay. The room had all the amenities i needed, super clean and comfortable. The terrace was lovely to enjoy an evening wine or breakfast in the morning. I would love to stay here again but maybe try a different room on the upper level.

United StatesThe mosquitos.. not the facility's per se fault. But for those who are planning to stay here, as lovely as the evenings and nights are, do yourself a favour and keep the windows closed for bed to avoid being bit up.
The location was great especially for the price. The staff were kind and welcoming; at check-in they spend a few minutes outlining a map they provide with all the top sightseeing places in the area. The facility was clean! Love the patio - we spent our mornings sipping coffee (the first coffee pod is complimentary, anything after is 0,50 euros; even instant coffee here tastes amazing!).

GermanyI do not remember anything negative or even worth mentioning
I spent three days in Florence and chose Il Bargelino because I needed the room only for sleeping and showering. All other hotels were well above my price acceptance. Even though the room only had a shared bathroom, I was still pleasantly surprised. Friendly hosts, all attractions within walking distance and everything clean throughout. There was no breakfast, but this is not significant because small cafes were located in the immediate vicinity. So, next time Florence gladly again
