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.).

GermanyWe were welcomed by the nicest host we ever had the pleasure to meet. The whole Villa is so well kept and beautifully situated right at the Lago di Garda. Nice restaurants are in walking distance. Max and his wife Francesca went any length, from the nice breakfast served in the garden to recommendations for restaurants or day trips and everything else one could wish for. We will come again next summer!

United StatesWe only wish we could stay longer.
Max’s villa is, without a doubt, one of the most extraordinary places we have stayed. Ever. Each and every need was attended to with great attention and care. We loved mornings on the patio enjoying freshly squeezed orange juice and a delectable spread, presented with pristine cutlery and plates. When we felt like a swim, we’d take a dip in the lake or the wonderful pool on the property. And it goes without mentioning that the beauty that can be found at every corner of the villa, including wonderful new fixtures and furniture, adds the the incredible charm of the villa. But, by far, it is Max’s impeccable hospitality that made this stay one to remember for the rest of our lives. We cannot stress enough that his hard work, dedication, and friendliness make staying at Villa delle Palme feel as though you’ve come home. We dream of when we can return, and cannot wait to meet Max again.

United KingdomNothing, everything was perfect!
Wow, what a beautiful gem of a find in Lake Garda, from the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the beauty of the property, location & interiors. Max was there to greet us, kindly showing us around the property and to our room. The rooms are stunning, the grounds perfectly manicured, and the ultimate place to relax by the lake on the sun loungers, with direct step access into the lake should you want a swim (we did daily). The breakfast is exquisite, the best Italian breakfast we have had, with plenty of choices, freshly cooked eggs on request, fresh fruit platter, fresh orange juice, and served with silverware for an extra premium touch, all while sitting outside overlooking the lake. A wonderful stay and we wish to return soon.

United KingdomWe haven't a single negative thing to say about the property or our stay. We will never forget our wonderful time there and can only hope we will make it back again one day!
Villa delle Palme stands out as one of, if not the best place we have ever stayed at. The Villa itself is beautiful, with gorgeous Murano glass fixtures and period furniture as well as being equipped with all the modern tech you could need. The finish on everything is flawless. What makes it so beyond compare is the location directly on the lake side with perfectly manicured gardens and direct access to the water. We were lucky enough to have chosen the Pinky Suite with it's huge private terrace which we could barely tear ourselves away from! Max and Francesca were the most wonderful hosts, we were made to feel like family and we were really sad to leave! The breakfast they served was delicious and plentiful and I can't imagine a better setting for it in the gardens overlooking the lake. They gave us great recommendations for eating out and enjoying the surrounding area and were so accommodating, nothing was too much trouble. Truly lovely people with a business that they should be incredibly proud of.

Absolutely wonderful stay in this gorgeous villa. The hosts were attentive, friendly and always available. A perfect setting with a tranquil garden right on the water. Perfect breakfast with lots of great restaurant options for the evening nearby. Large parking area and locals who kindly helped us navigate some narrow roads!

GermanyWe had a wonderful time at Villa Delle Palme. Everything is restored and clean, full room service every day, all soft drinks are free and the 5 stars fit from our point of view- when you consider that this is not a large hotel group. Especially nice and friendly service from Max, a super nice man with whom you can also have a good conversation. This also applies to his wife, who always takes care of the well-being of her guests. There is also a beautiful view and a great atmosphere with its own small park. And if you like, you can get very tasty pasta al dente and enjoy it in the dining room with a glass of wine.

SwedenIt was absolutely amazing! This property is a unique oasis in Gargnano with an intimate feel and endless gorgeous views from all directions. From the very first moment we arrived, we felt welcomed as if we were at home, and we continued to be thoroughly pampered with a level of service and attention to detail which is unparalleled by any previous hotel in which we have stayed. This villa was the perfect location with gorgeous suites and impressive decor making us feel as though we were living at the height of luxury for the entire trip. It is the perfect romantic getaway and we can’t wait to come back soon!

GermanyWe‘ve seen many incredible places on Lake Garda, but Villa Delle Palme tops them all: the location, the atmosphere, the fabulous service makes you really feel like you‘re in your private summer residence. Staying for 2 days will make you feel like being on vacation for a whole week… The Manager Max will read every wish from your eyes and is a perfect host. if you have the chance, book the Suite with a million dollar view on the lake and a private terrace. We‘ll be back!

United StatesIf you are looking for a bed and breakfast in Italy with an overbearing proprietor, this is the place for you. It is not a hotel. It is someone's home. They literally locked the front door two nights of our four day stay and we had to find a phone number to call to be let back in at midnight. Every time you walk in and out of the property the proprietor jumps up and chases you down to talk to you. He sat and watched me while I sat on the sun chairs and it was incredibly uncomfortable. There is a jacuzzi that was cold and not working the entire time we were there. The property is beautiful, and the rooms are nicely remodeled. It's a good location, but the management makes it very uncomfortable to stay there. The housekeeping staff is rude and unhelpful. For an expensive hotel, there are minimal amenities in the rooms.
Breakfast was awkward and uncomfortable. The proprietor hovers arounds the guests and makes you feel like he is being put out by providing you with a meal. Eggs were raw. Coffee was not good.
