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.).

BulgariaThere is no separate restaurant for breakfast, but it is not necessary, because a few steps away is the most famous bakery with the most delicious croissants.
The location of the hotel is perfect. The rooms are clean, the staff is very kind and helpful. There is an elevator. Common parts are good. The rooms are quiet.

AustraliaNo laundry/ laundromat.
Amazing rooms right in front of the cathedral and piazza. Good Restuarants downstairs into the piazza. The rooms were exactly as depicted in the photos. Very friendly and helpful staff. Highly recommended if in the area. Short walk to the waterfront and no noise inside the rooms. 15min brisk walk to railway station.

Switzerlandunfortunately the steam-room function didn't work. Which was a true shame, it even asks you kindly to mention any malfunction.. I assume the previous Tennant(s) didn't try it out and therefore we sat there and waited for it to work. ! but once we mentioned it the staff was super nice and they offered us an upgrade to the best room available at basic rate the next time we come by ! What a great reaction and we will looking very much forward staying there again, as we would've anyway :) Great Hotel, great and super clean rooms. 10 /10
location couldn't be any better - we had the side windows and there was almost no noise... plus the windows are extremely noise proof. To say though; that there was very little "noise" and at 11pm it was super quiet outside

SwitzerlandWe had the opportunity to meet the owners. The effort and care that they put into this project is so interesting. Just go and see, the access stairs are so well integrated in the main volume. You would have a better experience if you take a room with the main plaza view or have a Turkish bath in your room.

United KingdomThe window from the bathroom straight into the bedroom was unexpected! Full on view to whoever’s in the bedroom of you showering, but if you’re a couple it’s probably fine!
Perfectly located directly opposite the cathedral/ duomo, a few minutes walk from the lake. Shops / cafes on your doorstep. Staff were extremely helpful, helping with directions/ ferries/ taxis. The room was very spacious - interesting and beautiful furnishings, comfortable bed, air conditioned. Lovely sitting area as well as sleeping area. Shower was an experience in itself with all of its spa like settings. Just stunning and lovely and clean.

United StatesNothing, it was perfect in every way!!!!
We just stayed at the spectacular Vitrum! It was more than a Hotel, it was an experience! And a fabulous one at that! The location could not have been more perfect, sitting right across from the Piazza looking directly at the gorgeous Duomo! There were multiple restaurants on the Piazza as well as hundreds of restaurants all around the entire area. Lake Como was literally less than a five-minute walk from the Vitrum. You could easily hop on a ferry for Lake Tours, a ride to Bellagio and the other areas around the Lake. There are so many restaurants all around the Lake, you will have a hard time making a decision on where to eat! You will not be disappointed in the loads of fabulous shopping either! Even though the Piazza outside the Vitrum was super busy, the inside of the Vitrum was extremely quiet! We had a great sleep and never heard anything outside the walls! The building that the Vitrum is housed in is very old, but the fantastic owners renovated it, and it is completely modern inside with absolutely beautiful furnishings! No detail was spared in this Hotel or our room! The bed and bedding were pure luxury! The Aroma Therapy Shower was enormous and absolutely the best and most beautiful shower ever! The towels were even fantastic! Big and soft! The bathroom had the best lighting too! Perfect for a girl that loves to put her makeup on with good lighting! So important! The staff was superior and went out of their way to help us with directions and any other questions we had. Thank you, Antonella and the other wonderful girls! While staying at the Vitrum, we were fortunate enough to meet the lovely owners, Alberto and Graziano, who were just amazing! They were so warm and welcoming to us and took the time to tell us all about the Vitrum and the fabulous building and the renovation! We thank them for their kindness! We will always cherish our stay at the Vitrum and we can't wait to return to stunning Lake Como again in the near future!

United StatesRoom had no view. No breakfast provided but obviously not a deal breaker for us. The hotel was difficult to find in the old town area…maybe some walking directions would have been helpful as it was strictly a pedestrian area.
Room was very unique and comfortable. Easy access with code given at check in. Quiet even though right in the middle of a busy town square. Good air conditioning which was appreciated in July. Liked that they had hallway lights that came on when needed. Great location in town.

United StatesEverything.
Loved seeing the Duomo from my room never mind it was from the bathroom it was a gorgeous lookout and enjoyed the rolling bells on the hour. Charming and just outside the doors was restaurants and a lively scene. As a solo traveler it felt safe and easily accessible at night. Not deserted on a back street; it is in the heart. Beautiful eclectic interiors; fun and super well appointed. The hotel staff was soooo helpful to me with getting a driver from Como to Milan at the eleventh hour after my designated driver got cancelled due to a miscommunication; had tours scheduled in Milan and really appreciated their willingness to help me. Also a dress zip up. ; nice ladies couldn't have been happier with my choice i'd stay.🙏💫😍 👌😊
