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.).

Sina was a great host and went out of his way to ensure we had a comfortable stay! We had amazing views overlooking the lake, and breakfast was served each morning in the restaurant downstairs. Beautiful roomy apartment, well equipped, and location was 10/10.

United StatesNada.
Our lake view studio was exquisite: clean, comfortable and very centrally located. It’s right on the lake, surrounded by cafes, shops, restaurants, and easily walkable from the ferry dock and train station. The communication from Sina was excellent: from check in, questions while we were here, to helping us coordinate transportation back to Milan as there was a rail strike on our last day. He went above and beyond. Highly recommend this property!

United StatesBar Molo is open late at night so it gets very noisy when trying to sleep as our apt was right next to it and the windows are very thin. Bathroom sink was very small so water splashed all over your feet and the floor when washing your face.
The location of apartment is in a prime location and views of the lake were spectacular! Our apartment (#7) was on the second floor and had many windows and a balcony to enjoy the lake view. The apartment was nicely decorated, cozy and looked modern. Sina, our hospitality manager was so nice and welcoming. He was able to make dinner reservations for us and gave us good recommendations. Breakfast came with our room which was very good at Bar Molo (eggs, bacon, yogurt fruit bowl, coffee, etc) and has a beautiful view of the lake. Since its all outdoor seating, the weather can be a challenge. It was cold in the am in April but they provided blankets which helped.

United StatesNothing. Perfect location and property. Would stay here again.
The property is beautiful, with everything needed for a perfect stay. Best location in Varenna! We stayed in Apartment 2 (split level) and the views from the balcony, on the second floor off the bedroom, are phenomenal of Lake Como and the mountains. Sina the property manager is the perfect host. Breakfast is served daily at the waterfront restaurant downstairs Bar Il Molo and you are able to order off menu, as part of your stay. The restaurant also serves lunch and dinner for a very reasonable price. This property is approximately 10 minute walk to ferry, a 2 minute walk to main piazza (up the steps), and 15-20 minute walk, with luggage, from train. Ferry to Bellagio (approx. 15 minutes) is well worth the trip. Beautiful botanical gardens, shops and restaurants.

United StatesNothing except that we left to go to Como city for a few nights. We really regret leaving our Divina Vita apartment! We have already planned to book again this year as we loved the deluxe apartment so much!
We stayed in the Deluxe apt for 5 nights and it was absolutely the best location in the whole town. In fact, the main selfie/instagram shot is down below the apartment as the view is so beautiful. We even saw someone get their wedding photos done there. It is above restaurant seating, but it's just sounds like background noise. After all, it is Italy and it's all about vibrant living. We loved being in the heart of the town. We particularly liked that the balcony had enough room for a table and chairs, which many balconies in town do not. We would just sit out there and people watch and look at the snow capped mountains. The rooms are nice and bright with lots of windows but what is great was that, at least in April, the hot sun doesn't stream directly in the windows. The apartments down the road looked like they would get so hot in the afternoon. Also, the included breakfast at Bar In Molo was fantastic. I loved all the fresh fruit in the granola bowl and my husband said the bacon was the best he has had in his life. Sina, the manager of the apartments was incredibly sweet and kind. He truly wanted us to have a great time. The shower is compact but with great water pressure and a nice shower wand with several different settings. Ps I posted a photo with the deluxe apt circled so you can understand where it is.

FinlandIt was raining like hell in April when we arrived. It was not exactly the easiest place to find the apartments. Once we found there everything was perfect. Sina was an excellent host. He kindly took our oversized luggege stairs up to the room and explained everything. He was kinder than you can get! The breakfast was a bit more interesting. It was served on a bistro just below the apartment. The breakfast menu was indulgent though and we could choose from the list. In early April the mornings were not that warm, but they had blankets. This was stil, the place to stay in nice Varenna!
