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.).

GermanyIn the restaurant, the only average quality of food without any finesses doesn't match the (even for the Como area) high prices. A fine place to take some cocktails on the terrace while enjoying sunset. But for lunch or dinner, go elsewhere. For instance both restaurants close to the lower station of the Funicolar provide better quality at lower prizes than the Bellavista.
Based 500 m above lake Como and only 50 m to the upper station of the Funicolore this Hotel provides a breathtaking view. Driving up to Brunate on neat and sometime very narrow streets with close serpentines is a thrill itself. Better chose a small car. The Bellavista is a hotel worth to be pictured for postcards. The rooms with a little alpine style are lovely and also the breakfast was a splendid experience.

MaltaThe double bed was two single beds pushed together. For the cost of a room, the bathroom supplies were limited. i.e just shower gel.
The views of Como are incredible. It is a charming hotel, with some beautiful pieces of art. Breakfast was very nice too and the staff were very friendly and accommodating.

United KingdomThe Spa is quite expensive (40 euros for 1h30) but well worth it for the experience and the views.
Amazing location, very cute room with a comfy mattress. The restaurant food was really tasty, you should definitely eat there at least once ! The property itself is really well kept and worth the price. The breakfast was very good too. We got coffee, croissants, bread, boiled egg, ham and cheese, cereal, fruit, and fruit juice. Very reasonable check-in/check-out times The staff were helpful when we asked for information about what to do in the area and speak English fluently.

United StatesThe only bad side was that you needed either a rental car or the cable car to get to the hotel on top of the mountain. Make sure you plan ahead if you are taking the cable car because the waits can be over an hour to get up and down during the busiest times. We didn’t have a car so the wait was often long. This is in no way an issue with the hotel. We loved everything about the hotel.
The view was exceptional. Our room was so clean and cozy. The breakfast was absolutely delicious and the staff was so accommodating and friendly.

DenmarkPlain breakfast, only white bread. Hard and squeaky bed! Old closet that was opening if you didn't lock it with a key, and locking with a key was a struggle every time. Hotel is located just 5 meters from a church - tourists often stopped by just under our window to take pictures of the church which was sometimes causing unwanted noise. Moreover, the church's bell rings every 15 or 30 minutes from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m.
The view from the hotel was great and the hotel location was perfect for us. We ate dinner in the restaurant once, and the food was delicious.

United StatesDriving to the property was a challenge up a long series of very small roads with multiple serpentine curves. Make sure that you contact the hotel to reserve a parking spot (€10/day). From the property, must take a funicular down to Como. Unique experience but adds travel time to/from Como. Buy round trip tickets up top to avoid sometimes long lines when returning from Como. No A/C and we had attic room. First night, nice cross breeze. Second nice not so much and also had problems with bugs since there were no screens on windows.
Unique older property atop Brunate overlooking Lake Como. Great views. Nice European style breakfast.
