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...).

NetherlandsIt is in the form of a Hostel. Although the bathroom and kitchen are dedicated, they are not so convenient outside the room. When you lie down on the second bed, you will feel that there is a crossbar in the middle, which is not very comfortable.
This is a great option if you want to include accommodation as part of a cultural trip, there are even murals on the ceiling. The location is great and the communication with the owner is very smooth.

It is more than just a hotel, it is creative, arty, quirky and full of lots of special touches. Every possible need for travellers is considered and more eg books, treats, kitchen items, storage, beautiful spaces. If ever in Florence we would stay here again. We will tell others. The parking arrangements were also exceptional.

SingaporeNote that toilet is not attached to room and requires navigating up and down 2 small flight of steps (no railing) which might be tough for those who need to go in the night. Main bed was comfy but sofa bed was not. It was also way colder in the room compared to outside for some reason even though the air-conditioning was not on. As per other reviews, you can hear the market vendors setting up at about 6.45am but it was ok for us since we were already awake due to jet lag.
Location was great and near all key attractions and the market. We could go back to rest easily when we were tired. We could also leave our luggage before and after check in. Provision of kitchen facility was good too.

South AfricaThe noise in the street is an issue. There is also no washing machine nor any view, contrary to the listing.
We had a wonderful stay at the Smallest Hostel in Florence. The location is incredible, with a 10m walk to the San Lorenzo square and a 250m walk to the Duomo. Also, there are only 2 rooms in the hostel, with private bathrooms but a shared kitchen and living area, so privacy is good.

BelgiumBed for kids was not made when we arrived. They did send someone later, but then we had already made it ourselves. The phone number on booking was not correct so when we had a problem finding the front door, the unmade bed, nobody was available to help. I found a second phone number in their welcome book, and that number was working. The airconditioning unit was pretty noisy so we had to turn it on and off to be able to sleep (heatwave). From 6am crazy amount of noise in the street below from market vendors getting their stuff from a garage or warehouse a little further down the street. This went on from 6-8 am ... off and on. The owners can't help this, but if you are a light sleeper, or need your sleep, or just hate loud annoying noises to wake up to, then don't book here... It really is a very loud noise. if you don't care about the noise, and just love a central location, this is the place to be!
Spacious room right in the center of Florence. Very good location, easy to go back to the room during the day and have a quick rest or shower (there was a heatwave) Easy access through keypads, we didn't see the owners. Even kitchen available.

ArgentinaI had the worst experience I’ve ever had in hotels around the world. My bed was not a bed but an old couch that had been converted into a bed. According to the property owner, it was in good condition before I arrived. However, when I arrived, it was completely destroyed and impossible to sleep on. It seemed like people had jumped on it, and some parts of the mattress were sunken, leaving the metal poles that supported its structure in direct contact with my back. Consequently, I contacted the property owner. She said it was not possible to get a new bed because it was Sunday. She agreed to add a mattress on top of the couch to remediate the situation, but it was still very uncomfortable. I ended up sleeping on the floor, which caused a massive back pain that prevented me from enjoying the city. After I left the property, I complained again and asked for a discount, but the property owner was not very cooperative. Only after a month of messages through the platform’s customer service did she return about a fifth of the money I paid for the room.
The location was really good and the apartment was nice, luminous and very clean. My sister and her husband, who shared the room with me, had a way better experience because they slept on a proper bed.

ItalyIt is indeed a very noisy location, with carts going along the street to the Central Market in early morning and late evening in addition to continuous noise from a nearby piazza. Windows are not good enough to block it. The sink in the bathroom was almost completely clogged, though the place has high score for cleanses. I paid 130 Euro per night + city tax and I think what I got is not a good value for that amount although I understand that Florence is quite an expensive place but basic things like silence and proper plumbing maintenance should be well addressed for such price tag.
The place is conveniently located not far from the main train station and main Florence tourist attractions including the Central Market.
