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.).

NetherlandsThe room was clean. Had all the necessary amenities that we required. The apartment was walking distance to all restaurants and tourist attractions. This helps with getting around without requiring a taxi Uber. Lorenzo was the best! Assisted with questions we had. Smooth check in and check out.

AustraliaThe impossibly small claustrophobic lift, although, it was certainly better than walking up three floors. Not a fault of the apartment itself but of the old building - the stairwell had a very bad odour
Very central location close to famous sites and a selection of great restaurants, genuine frescoes on the walls, lovely ambience. Very friendly and helpful owner.

United KingdomApartment was very authentic but would prefer duvets rather than a bedspread. Also, could be a little bit cleaner, loo brush was very dirty and needs throwing away, floor was dusty. Smell on the corridor as entering the building was quite strong, not the fault of the owners.
Lovely location, central to everything. Great hosts , very helpful and a lovely bottle of wine on check in which was a nice touch. Very small lift up to the 3rd floor but once used was fine.

PortugalLike some people mentioned, the building's entrance has a very pungent smell. Nothing the host can do about it, but be warned if you're sensitive to smells. The floor in the apartment was a bit dirty and dusty, but nothing too bad.
Very nice apartment, very practical and well located. We were provided all the necessary amenities and both of the Lorenzos were very helpful, nice and gave very good tips - we basically only went to their recommended restaurants and we don't regret it.

United StatesThe “sofa” was an interesting piece of furniture but very awkward to sit on, and the bed wasn’t the most comfortable either.
The location was excellent providing easy walking access to most places of interest, as well as from the train station. It was fun having old fresco remains tied to the history of the building. Even though it was the smallest elevator we’ve ever encountered, it worked well and was great to have available after days exploring on foot. Kitchen supplies were adequate.

United KingdomThe apartment facing the street got a lot of noise from outside at night. Understandable in a city - but be wary if that bothers you. Also, there was a lift, which was useful for 3 members of our group, but it's incredibly small and narrow, so they had to get in it one at a time (not the apartment owners' fault, obviously, but another thing to be conscious of when booking).
The apartment couldn't have been in a more useful location! So close to the cathedral and some great cafes and restaurants. Lorenzo and Lorenzo were both super helpful, friendly and accommodating - they even gave us a load of local recommendations and some bottles of chianti. The apartments themselves were also wonderful, and I'd say even more impressive than the pictures made them look. We rented two apartments for a group of 5, and the setup here was great, with a connecting hallway between them.

We love the charm, close to the duomo, walking distance to train station, Ponte Vecchio and a lot more. Restaurants are nearby, and Carrefour Express. There is a small lift which was a relief. The toilet is very modern and nice. There is a Smart TV. Wished we had stayed longer. Definitely recommend.

AustraliaCan't think of anything, no issues.
Fantastic apartment in the most central location while being quiet and peaceful. The decor is lovely, particularly with the historic painted frescos, it felt like staying frozen in time. The lift was handy, and amenities in the apartment were all good and as described. You could stay for a short or long stay here, it has everything you need. Lorenzo and his colleague were great hosts, and were flexible and helpful at check in and check out. I couldn't recommend it more highly. Just book it.

AustraliaFourteenth century palazzo, with 17th and 18th century frescoes! Spacious rooms, high ceilings, well equipped and very quiet and comfortable, centrally located. Good communication post booking, approaching arrival and organising entry. Very personal service. Luxury of apartment accommodation in central Florence. Lots of character, including tiny lift, but don't be put off.

AustraliaNothing. It was all great. The apartment is on the 4th floor which does have a very small elevator to access or stairs. This was not a worry for us, but maybe if you have mobility issues.
Very comfortable apartment in an historic building with a view of the Duomo. The apartment is centrally located with easy walking distance around the city. Lorenzo met us at the apartment to hand over the keys and show us the apartment. We appreciated the welcome bottle of chianti classico and a map was provided with all of the local recommendations marked - this was very handy! There is a utility room next door with a washing machine which we utilised. I would definitely stay here again on a visit to Florence.
