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...).

PolandRooms were cleaned daily, but I would't say it was clean after cleanning. Due to central location it may be noisy at night, but closing windows and shutters signifficantly reduces noise. One of the main minuses for me is lack of kettle available for the guests and no small fridge in the room.
Hotel Lorena is located in the city center, 300 m from Santa Maria Novella. Staff is very friendly and proffesional. Hotel needs a general renovation and probably for this reason it's one of the cheapest hotels in Florence.

SingaporeWalls have no sound proofing that you can hear what the other guest in the adjacent room is doing. Then the 22 steps is a struggle if you have big luggages. Why the hell are we leaving the keys?
Rated this hotel wrongly earlier which was intended for another hotel. It just a decent hotel providing value for money. Great location!

United StatesOur windows faced a busy street, tourist traffic until late night and delivery traffic early in morning.
Next to the Medici Chapel, close to train station and not far from Duomo. They allowed us to leave our luggage early. This is an older hotel, though adequate for our one night stay before leaving in the am.

United KingdomSome people might be affected by the noise of revellers outside. BUT the room had windows with modern double glazing and then another older window as well and then a shutter for the light. So in the end, the noise (even on a Friday night) didn't stop me from sleeping, although I am a light sleeper. And the complete blinds mean the sun doesn't blaze in at dawn. All in all, this could almost be in the "what did you like" part.
A nice friendly welcome and great service even though I was a guest only for a single night. Location is great. I think normally this place is booked out for ages in advance and I got a room because of a cancellation or a little gap between other customers. My point is that I think they could raise prices and make more money in the short term but as an ongoing concern they prefer to keep prices very reasonable and rely on people coming back time and again. Just an impression, but I felt this wasn't an establishment testing what the market will bear but a family business planning to be around for a long time. and I liked that very much in a city where the tourist population is naturally very high and supply of accommodation is limited.

United StatesIf you didn’t close the outside shutters, the 2 sets of inside windows and the inside shutters it was very noisy no matter the day or night. Also the bed was extra hard as was the pillow.
It is in a great location. Very central to the historic district and close to the train station. The room was huge and had a great view of the plaza.

MexicoI don’t like that they did not advertise that they would close reception from 2 am until 6 am. So there is no possibility for you as a guest to arrive between that hour space.
It is really in a good location. It’s old, so all the rooms and facilities looks old. But it was ok The staff is good, they were opened to received me earlier and storage my luggage before my check in.
