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...).

The location is perfect, 5 minutes to the central station and 15min walk to the major tourist attractions. Everything is clean, also had small welcoming snack.

United KingdomIt was a little bit cold at night (in February). There was one spare blanket but maybe another one would be good.
Excellent place to stay very close to Firenze Santa Maria Novella, the main railway station. Friendly helpful owner. Big comfortable bedroom. Very quiet. Good clean private bathroom just across the corridor. Shared kitchen with hob, microwave and fridge.

Simone made me VERY welcome and thoroughly explained everything about my room and the associated kitchen and lounge area (which was a pleasant and unexpected surprise) He answered all of my questions about the local area and getting around and even had good recommendations for places to eat.

ChileThe property was fine, but I was puzzled when I arrived, because I was expecting a big sign on the street, and there is only a small sign by the ring bells. Anyway, the host spotted me when I arrived while I was wondering which button to push.
Very well located, a few blocks from the train station from the tram stop to the airport. Very comfortable room with private bathroom. Sparkling clean and well maintained. Good heating in winter.

BelarusEven though it was known in advance, having an external bathroom turned out less convenient then I expected. I'd also appreciate more hooks in the bathroom and a mirror in the room.
Perfect location. Close to the centre and the train station, but at the same time in a quiet neighbourhood. Has a food store nearby. The room was spacious and comfortable. The kitchen is fully equipped. Lovely owners.

BelgiumThe key to my room was VERY tricky. It was really annoying and should be repaired. Literally every time I tried to open my room, I struggled with it.
This place was perfect for my needs. I needed an inexpensive option, and for the price and the location (very near the station and the center), I thought this place was exceptional. The price is reduced by the fact that you don't have an ensuite bathroom. That is the deal that you accept when you book this place -- you have a room in a large apartment, and the bathroom is directly across the corridor from your room. It was an acceptable trade-off for me. Luckily, the other guests were quiet and in fact I never actually ran into anyone else during my stay. The place was clean, quiet, spacious, conveniently located -- I would definitely stay here again.

LithuaniaBecause toilet it's not in your room, it's a separate room, door handles are not easy to open/close, sometimes they stuck, that's very inconvenient when you have to leave a room and go to bathroom and when go back (travelling alone). At nights with open balcony doors it's quite noisy, because owners family have an inner yard, noises comes from their sitting till late, dog barking... They are not able to write you a normal official invoice (work trip), that's bad.
Great location near bus station. Tidy and clean spacious room. Working air conditioner.

United KingdomBathroom not connected to bedroom, I don't mind this. But when getting ready there isn't a mirror in the bedroom so you need to keep leaving the room to go to the bathroom. A mirror in the bedroom and it would have been perfect.
Great location, walkable into historic centre, also right round corner from Tram for airport and also train station. Simone was very friendly and quick to respond. No breakfast but the snacks in the room are a nice touch. Very peaceful.

United StatesSuper convenient location, it only took 3-4 minutes walking from the SMN train station, and it didn't seem like a "bad" area at all. Check-in was easy and the host was friendly and helpful. The apartment is on the first floor, so only one set of steps. The unit is large overall, and has a living room, dining room, and kitchen for shared use. The bedroom is also quite large, and it has its own air conditioning unit that works well. The room is lockable so you don't have to worry about others staying in the unit. The bed was pretty comfortable and the pillows were especially comfortable. Not noisy at all. The room was clean and also smelled really good. The private bathroom for the room is across the hallway, and there's also a key for it so that no one else uses it. The shower is a good size, and the water pressure was really good.

PeruNothing, really. The place was great.
This accommodation is a room inside an apartment. The room is large and ultra clean. Bathroom is outside the room but of private use (the host gives you the key). It was indicated that breakfast was not provided; however, there were tea bags and toasts in the bedroom which was great. It is a very quiet place and location is excellent, just 3 minutes from autostazione and the central station. Very close to restaurants, pizzerias and a carrefour.

Austria- The room is actually a part of a big apartment which you share with other guests. - I had my own bathroom but I had to cross the corridor to reach it, which is not very convenient and limits your privacy. - No lift to the second floor (might be an issue for some guests).
Excellent location close to the railway station and the center, very friendly owner. The room is clean and spacious and looks to the back side, so is quite quiet (though sound insulation is not very good).
