Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

HungaryThe mountain road to the accommodation can be daunting for those who are not used to Italian mountain roads. The wifi could be stronger, and mosquito nets on the windows would be appreciated.
Very beautiful and cozy place on the hills. The apartments have been converted from old stone houses. The view is amazing. A restaurant is also part of the building ensemble.

AustraliaThe cobblestone pathways are not the easiest things to navigate, especially with luggage, but we did not consider them a negative - in fact they greatly enhanced the charm of the property and we were so fascinated by the workmanship.
Totally immersed in nature on the side of a mountain, this is a little slice of heaven on earth. Superbly restored, this delightful property, whilst a little way from town, is perfectly situated to take advantage of the natural beauty of the valley and access the many walks right from it’s doorstep. The restaurant is exceptional, and we saw many locals coming to eat as well, but as tourists we were warmly welcomed and felt immediately relaxed. Francesca is the consumate hostess, professional but also absolutely down to earth; and behind the scenes in the kitchen, Ivan prepares top quality local fare - everything we ate during our visit was delicious.

IndiaThis is one of the best Stays I had during my vacation. Decided to go here by fluke but it turned out to be a very beautiful property- perfect for a quite gateaway. The room was spacious and clean. The windows are so well designed that you can look out to the mountains and the changing sky colors forever. The owner and his wife were very considerate to serve us breakfast before their usual time. I would have loved if the restaurant was open on Tuesday for dinner - but that’s a minor thing - good thing is I got to know about this in advance and could arrange for alternate arrangements.

United KingdomThe adjacent restaurant (not run by the La Tensa guesthouse) was a little pricey for what we ate.. We only had two courses and a bottle of wine and it was still the most expensive meal of our 10 days in Italy. Due to the location it’s sort of inevitable that you’d eat there but there may be better value in the town.
The location whilst being a bit off the beaten track is absolutely stunning, the circuitous drive up from Domodossola became insignificant on reaching the property. The views are amazing and the restored buildings beautiful, still appearing to be built using a dry stone walling technique.

SwitzerlandOur stay in agriturismo La Tensa was wonderful ! The room was exactly as we wanted it to be : quiet, comfortable and well equiped. When we arrived, everything was ready, we had been given all the info necessary before our arrival so the organisation of the stay was really simple. We ate at the restaurant of the agriturismo and it was really good and hearty. Same for the breakfast ! I recommend this agriturismo 100% because it is quiet and comfortable.

SwitzerlandThe private patio was in direct sun. No coffee in the room. Restaurant could have been a bit cleaner - we had to ask for clean crockery and cutlery on occasion, and did not offer alcohol free beverages, except soft drinks.
Friendly staff. Dogs are welcome. Quiet location. Restaurant on site which was convenient, as well as access to dining options in Domodossola, 20 minute drive away.
