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.).

This place sits directly on Lake Como and 50 steps to the best on the water restaurant in town… So it gets 10 stars to start. Then the actual apartment is beautiful! Clean and so comfortable. The bed is perfect, the veranda is the best view of the lake. The staff is amazing and a waterfront breakfast is included!

AustraliaParking in town is very limited. The multi level carpark gets full early and you have to wait for a spot to open up, however only two cars can wait at a time otherwise the road is blocked and you are moved on by an attendant and have to go around the town circuit again. There is free white line parking 200m down the road but again you have to be lucky to get one of those spots.
Location and view from the balcony was amazing. The hosts from the bar downstairs couldn't have been more helpful.

United StatesThe view from the balcony was WOW, however there were birds roosting above and there were bird droppings on the floor of the balcony and furniture. You had to watch where you sat and stepped.
Check in was smooth, Michaela met us at the cafe Il Molo and walked us to the apartment, right nearby. Breakfast was good and convenient, and for dinner they reserved a table for us right on the water. We felt like VIPs since the wait for a table was incredibly long. The apartment was spacious (for a studio), the bed was comfy and the AC was excellent. The location could not have been better with stunning views and near the shops but still very quiet inside. It was one of the best locations in Varennna.

AustraliaAs other reviews have stated, it can be a bit noisy at night due to the restaurant next door but it really didn’t bother us too much. It was worth it for the location and comfort.
Lovely loft apartment in a fantastic location just metres from the lake. The bed was very comfortable. Breakfast at Bar Il Molo was great and we ate dinner there every night too because the food was good and it was so convenient.

United KingdomThere was nothing I didn’t like!
I fell in love with this place, if it was a home I’d never leave! The view was perfection & so were the staff! Even after we left they have provided us with the most welcoming & wonderful experience. We left our jewellery behind after a stay in the spa (which they made absolutely beautiful for my birthday) The food was incredible from Bar Molo & the cocktails! Especially italia 90s. Every morning was bliss and the evening sunsets even better, super helpful with helping us find where we needed to go and even booking our taxis for us and giving train directions and information. The bed was the most comfortable bed I’ve ever stayed in in my life 🫶🏻
