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.).

BrazilWe’ve liked everything
One of our best lodgings we had experienced. Crotto Di Somana is a jewel scarfed in between Como Lake and the mountains, in a very peaceful place, with a fantastic view, and at the same time pretty close to the village. And Lívio is the best host we’ve found ever, always ready to help, doing all the efforts to make our stay fantastic. We fully recommend this property. Grazie Mille, Livio and family !

LatviaThe host gave us the best room with the view of the Como Lake. The stay was excellent. Room was small but very nice, quiet and clean. We really enjoyed the view from the window and from the garden as well. It was very nice one -night stay. The host was great! We came in the late afternoon and we didn't had a lunch so he offered us some food- bread with bresaola & cheese, coffee and some oranges from his farm from Sicily. We totally recommend this place to others!

NetherlandsI liked the staying. It does take about 25 mins of walking during the day or about 40 mins during the evening time to climb uphill but that's what I needed so it was not a problem for me. There is a bus but it doesn't go very often.
It is a lovely place with a stunning view, beautifully designed and the facilities in the house. Perfect for chilling and relaxing. Even though the house in the rural area, it has everything you need in the house. it takes about 20 minutes to get to a more lively area with restaurants and a big shop. A nice restaurant is just 3 mins walking from the house.

GermanyNearby a lot of mosquitoes, I recommend u to take spray or smth. But I didn’t care a lot about this thing, because views compensate it) Also hotel is a bit far away from city Mandello , and u will need to make 30-40min walk up. But walk was through the nice streets and places and was not so big problem. But better to have a car)
Authentic place, incredible views, pleasant owner, who took care about our accommodation and offered to cook a dinner for us, as we came in the evening. U live in the farm and a lot of green. Very peaceful place.

It’s so peaceful and magical there. Breakfast provided for additional small price. I recommend staying there several days to soak up the beauty of the place and rest.

IrelandThat we couldn't stay longer 😢
Livio is the most wonderful person. What he has achieved with his bare hands is incredible. He is a one man army and obviously very dedicated, super hard working and very talented in anything he puts his mind to. I think Livio could easily turn this Agri-turismo property into a Boutique B&B with some expenditure on luxury items like linens & towels, upmarket fittings & quality lighting. I think the return on investment would be well worth it, in such a beautiful hand-crafted property. However, I also think Livio deserves to take a well earned rest and to take some time-out to enjoy the fruits of his labour. Bravo Livio but you need to slow down and let others do some of the heavy lifting for you👏🏻

GermanyFinding it was difficult. After looking lost, one of the neighbors got on her Vespa and drove us to the correct spot.
The owner made the property. We arrived late and he waited, even made us reservations at a restaurant so we didn’t have to worry. He greeted us with a meat and cheese tray, beer and wine.

Really nice staff who went the extra mile, the small room with the big window had an amazing view (I guess the smallest one has the best view). Really close to many beautiful hiking tracks. Pretty easy to walk up the hill from the train station also with luggage (less than 3 kilometres to both Mandello del Lario and Olcio, tickets best to buy online). Hot water in the shower. Breakfast okay. Restaurant 50 meters from hotel. Grocery store less than 2 kilometers. A/C in the room > not cold!!
