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.).

United StatesThe only thing I didn’t like is that we couldn’t stay longer.
Pristine room & exceptionally good mattress. Beyond delightful hospitality. Great breakfast. Perfect pool. Fantastic view. The lake view suite is worth it. A rare gem of a hotel.

United StatesI can’t think of anything!
Hotel La Palma is a gem in the beautiful town of Stresa. It is located walking distance from the Stresa train station, which was very convenient for arrival and departure. The hotel is also located on the main street/promenade in town so the center is just a few minutes walk. And the hotel is… gorgeous!!! Our room had a beautiful view of the lake from the balcony and everything was new and clean. The shower was well-equipped with multiple settings… a delight! And the breakfast surpassed our wildest expectations!!! There were countless cheeses, breads, pastries, yogurts, fruit, all in an open dining space connected to the outdoor patio/lawn. But the ultimate highlight was the spectacular pool on the lake!!! Because of our tight schedule, we squeezed in a morning swim at 8:30 am on the day of departure. It was truly a magical experience in the most stunning setting. I would not hesitate for a moment to return to this fabulous hotel. It will always be a treasured part of my travels in Italy.

United StatesWished the room had coffee
Great location, beautiful views, lots of amenities, beautiful breakfast area, nice rooms. We stayed in a junior suite. The room was a bit smaller than I had expected, but the balcony and views more than made up for it. The room was very comfortable and quiet. The bathroom was beautiful and large. We loved having breakfast out on the terrace. Location was perfect to walking into Stresa. Hotel staff was a bit unwelcoming at check-in (but I think it may have been a language issue). However, they were fabulous at assisting with dinner reservations and a needed car service. Parking at the hotel is super easy, reserved parking lot right across the street. We loved the Sky Bar, great drinks/wines, amazing views and good snacks. The pool/beach area is beautiful, but felt it was a tad bit small for the size of the hotel.

New ZealandWe loved our stay! The two pools to choose from (one lakeside, one rooftop adults only) were a real highlight, both with lovely attentive bar staff and a good lunch menu. Amazing breakfast buffet. Great location - a 10 minute walk from the train station, and 10 minute walk along the lake to the main restaurants. Our room was pretty standard hotel style but we spent very little time in it - comfy bed and clean bathroom. Would go back in a heartbeat!!

AustraliaDouble rooms aren't that big to share with another colleague. Balcony view made up for it. It was difficult to use the rooftop pool and facilities as it was often crowded with non-hotel guests. Obviously attracted to the amazing view.
We stayed here with work colleagues after a conference in Milan. Loved the pools, the buffet breakfasts, the proximity to town and all the restaurant options. I would love to come back and stay here again.
