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 StatesThe property was so beautiful! From the moment you walk in the staff was so kind and welcoming bringing us cold water after a toast walk from the train station. The staff gave us so many amazing recommendations for places to visit and eat in Florence, as well as some tips for Rome which we were heading too next. Our room was so beautiful, comfy and cool. We looked forward to hopping in our plush bed every night after walking miles around Florence all day. This location is also super close to many of Florence’s main attractions and shopping. I could not recommend Porta Nera highly enough and will definitely stay next time we find ourselves in Florence!

ItalyTraveling with my wife and in-laws for the first time together in Florence. From the very first call-contact throughout our stay, the staff went above and beyond to make our stay as much comfortable as possible. Been myself in the tourism industry ( nearly 30 years) I understand and appreciate the effort, hard work and genuine willingness to make guests happy. And that exactly what I've got from Emanuela ( the manager) and everyone else at Porta Nera. This being said I would highly recommend this venue to those interested in a quiet location, but within a short walk to some of the most renowned sites of this wonderful city ( Piazza della Signoria and Santa Maria del Fiore at a stone's throw, less than 10 minutes) let alone the easy walk from the main station Santa Maria Novella, which is a great plus to access to high speed trains, many local/regional/intercity trains to continue your journey somewhere else in the country. This venue, kind of residence/boutique lodging, is located in a recently renovated four- story historical building ( with a comfortable elevator) has an onsite charming reception/hall , with common spaces, designed to seat guests while waiting to be checked in or to be use for working-relax. The house provides complimentary daily hot drinks, ( there is a Nespresso's coffee machine if you’re looking for espresso-style coffee with the ultimate selection of flavors) some snacks and fruit. A roof-top and free wifi throughout, make this venue an excellent find. All rooms at Porta Nera feature free WiFi and complimentary high-quality toiletries. Each individually styled room reflects the contemporary design of the venue, with luxurious fabrics and furnishings and hints of bold colors. Rooms are equipped with form-foaming mattresses ensuring you get all the beauty sleep you need after a long day of exploring the city. Highly recommended

United StatesWe do not have anything negative to say!
We LOVED everything about this place, from the cleanliness to the incredibly nice staff who goes above and beyond to get you everything you need and make sure your stay is as comfortable as possible. My partner and I just had an awful travel experience right before we arrived. Manuela greeted us and just completely turned our experience into the most positive one. We can't recommend this place enough. It is definitely a rare find and a hidden gem in Florence.

CyprusUpon initially booking, one of the pictures advertised of the property which appeared to be a part of the room, was in fact the lobby area. We were on our honeymoon, and every other property/hotel we have stayed in during our tour has made some effort to make our stay feel special, however at this property it wasn’t acknowledged at all (not that it must be, however every other property we have stayed in had made some effort of some kind.)
The property was in a good location with polite and helpful staff.

United KingdomThe only good thing would be a box of tissues available in each room.
The staff at the property went above and beyond to make us feel welcome at Porta Nera. They offered us refreshments on arrival and were so helpful throughout our stay. Porta Nera is located very centrally in Florence, about a 3 minute walk to the river and 5 minutes from the Duomo- perfect for our visit. It must be the cleanest accommodation I’ve ever been in- immaculate! We will be visiting again :)
