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 KingdomVery poor sound insulation between the rooms. You could hear TVs and conversations and snoring coming from the next Room. There were a number of things broken in our room including the lighting in the bathroom and the plug in the bathroom sink. Although I have to praise the staff for sorting the lighting and a drainage issue with the bathroom sink, promptly during our stay. However the plug was never fixed. Also the air con was temperamental and didn't seem to always come on when the control panel was activated. Sometimes requiring the panel to be switched on and off several times. However, once it was working it was very effective.
The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful and spoke excellent English. They gave great advice about the public transport system and where to collect and purchase tickets for various attractions. The breakfast was a nice addition included in the room price each morning, although the selection could have been varied a bit more. The free tea and coffee was also very much appreciated. Good quality, strong coffee too. The rooms were clean and a reasonable size. And the beds were pretty comfortable. Also, the addition of double insulation on the balcony windows was appreciated as this kept the noise of the trains out of the room. The hotel was in a great location for bus and train links and within walking distance of the main attractions.

GermanyThe hotel seemed a little old and a bit run down, it was very clean but a bit outdated. The room we stayed in had a fuse box that made an annoying ticking sound all night that made it difficult to sleep. We mentioned the issue to the staff but I don't think they could fix the problem. There is no restaurant on site but plenty nearby, there is mention of a bar but it never seemed to be open the entire time we stayed there.
The location was handy, near the train station and about 100m from the tram stop Rosselli that goes to the airport. The old centre of Florence and the major tourist attractions are about a 20 min walk away. Despite being very close to the train line, the room was well soundproofed and we didn't hear train noise. The room was a reasonable size for 2 people, even though there were 2 extra beds in the room, I don't think it would be large enough for a family. There were amenities like a kettle, minibar and basic toiletries in the bathroom. The balcony was a good size. The breakfast was fine, pretty standard for Italy (coffee, toast, cakes and pastries, some eggs and sausages etc.).

Clean rooms and not too far away from the historical area of Florence or the Train Station. See my comments about breakfast below. The man who greeted us was very friendly.

United StatesRoom and hallway wasn't very soundproof so outside sounds could get loud at times, but honestly that wasn’t really an issue for us at all.
Staff was very kind and helpful, room was clean, awesome balcony, loved having a refrigerator and microwave and the air conditioning was a huge bonus. Wonderful location next to train station and all of the sights were within a 20 minute walking distance. We felt very safe and secure with the area.

United StatesThe manageress and the exterior of the hotel and surrounding buildings. The street is seedy, not well lit, trash and graffiti. Much could be done to make it more attractive. The manageress was overbearing. When I first booked for 2 requesting twin beds, the reply was that they would try. This was not good enough as my friend and I didn’t want to share a bed, so I then booked the higher level room with 2 double beds for a higher cost. When we arrived and were talking to the manageress, she insisted she ,of course, was going to give us twin beds. She then flippantly said”Well, you are in a much nicer, bigger room.” The other staff was very nice, but I won’t recommend the hotel because of the way the reservation was “Bait and switched” causing me to book a more expensive room.

IndiaThere was a problem with the lock and key card and we had people coming in to try and fix it whole of a day. View from balcony was other buildings and a dried up backyard. But, was good to step out and sit from us 4 in a room 😅
The person who e-mailed and was at the Reception when we checked in was very helpful. I had asked for a room with lift access since my mother can't climb stairs and was told that she could use the the lift for the luggage. It was a working stairlift. 😅👍🏼 There's a tram station very close that you can take to go to Florence's Firenze Santa Maria Novella train station (next stop). B'fast was good. No kettle in the room but can go to the lobby and ask for coffee/tea anytime. No charge. There was a tiny balcony too.
