Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

CanadaThe service level provided by the staff was superb. It is a special place. The extra touches the hotel provides, such as the Happy Hour drinks and snacks, speaks to the hotel’s commitment to making your stay feel like home. The breakfast has lots of options. We like the location, 2km from the city center, as it is quieter, but with numerous good, reasonably priced neighborhood restaurants and other services. Easy access to public transportation.

FinlandNice and and clean room. We even had a balcony. Service was excellent and the hotel employees were very helpful. Parking was included, though the hotel yard was a bit tight for parking. Breakfast was also good and in lobby level there were complimentary refresments. The location was quite good too. About 15-20 minutes walk to historic city center.

United StatesThe hotel is wonderful!!! So cute and quaint but fully loaded and stocked with everything you might need, and whatever will make you feel at home there. The staff, especially Caterina, were sooo incredibly helpful and soooo friendly and pleasant! She made it so easy to find our way around Florence-- explained bus passes, showed us bus routes and stops, directions, etc. We walked into the city center each day and it took no time at all and was an easy and beautiful walk along the river--- cannot wait to visit Florence and the Hotel David again!

RomaniaAn excellent looking place, with very welcoming and friendly staff. The whole hotel has an old rustic look, but modern facilities, a perfect vibe for a trip to Firenze. From the reception, to the breakfast, it's clear that your enjoyment is the focus of the hotel's staff. Will definitely re-book when we make another trip to Firenze.

TurkeyWe had the most amazing accommodation experience at Hotel David! The staff were incredibly polite and attentive, going above and beyond to make us feel welcomed. The hotel offers thoughtful perks like free snacks and drinks every day, and their complimentary happy hour, including prosecco, beer, and wine, was an absolute delight. The beautiful garden was a charming place to relax, adding to the overall peaceful vibe. Every detail of our stay was impeccable. If you're visiting Florence, I cannot recommend Hotel David enough—it was truly one of the best stays we've ever had! While it’s not right in the city center, it’s definitely worth the 15-minute walk, and there’s a convenient bus if you prefer not to walk. Highly recommend!

IsraelWe had problems with the wifi during our entire stay - for some reason, our phones skipped the sign in process so it didn't work. The person at the front desk got their IT person to help, but the problem returned once we left and came back to the hotel. I understand that this is a rare problem and happened to others once or twice before, but for us it was a (minor) headache.
This is a quirky and lovingly tended hotel with meticulous eye to detail. The room was lovely, the bed big and comfortable. I loved their attention to the environment: they have a water bottle refiller (water AND soda), no slippers, which they claim are the biggest environmental waste in hotels, biodegradable paper cups, etc. Breakfast was ample, and thank you to the cheery and efficient breakfast server who always remembered what coffee we each prefer. The lobby is cosy and the receptionists were unfailingly helpful with all of our questions. We liked the distance to city center because the center was packed with holiday travellers and this was a much quieter spot. As mentioned in other reviews, busses take you straight to the city center in no time at all if you don't want to walk both ways.

SpainThat we weren’t able to avoid some of the greedy guests.
The funny photo of the reception people reflects the whole attitude of this lovely little hotel situated conveniently outside the noisy busy Old City. Everything is done to maximise our comfort and enjoyment from the multilingual staff, the excellent maps, the helpful advice, bus tickets, bottles of water in the room, free tea and coffee 24/7 and of course the Happy Hour. It was a shame to see guests abusing the hospitality by loading up trays of snacks and drinks to carry back to their rooms but the staff just smiled and shrugged. As they did at breakfast when certain guests loaded their one plate with eggs, bacon, fruit, croissants, donuts, cheese, cold meats and then left most of it.
