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'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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and Standards for Reviews
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...).

My room was tiny single room, but what's worse overlooking a construction site. Noise all day from outside, but also from inside cleaning noise etc-if you plan on sleeping later or a quiet day staying in your room-its not gonna happen.
Location is great, nice staff, good breakfast, I like the interior decoration-painting of the hotel feels cosy

The room I was in, which was room 401 was absolutely lovely with exception to one thjng, which unfortunately was most bothersome. Approximately 10pm each night a drone noise appeared which went on through the night...absolutely terrible..I've no idea what it was..I was next to the lift..but it wasn't that...I would be interested to know what it was..but it did make it hard for me to get a decent sleep the 4 nights I was there
I was very pleased with the hotel, the location was perfect, I usually stay nearer the town but I found this better as it gave me that extra walk...every facility was 10/10

There was some building work going on the opposite side of the road in front of the hotel which meant you didn't want to sit out on the balcony during the morning or afternoon but with the lake views within easy walking distance with lots of benches to sit down this was not too much of a problem.
The room was satisfactory and good value for money. Breakfast was great with plenty of choice and very fresh. The location was perfect, within easy walking distance of all the shops and restaurants with some very close but still quiet. The train station was also within easy walking distance.

Simple hôtel. Basic. But good value for the price.
Good quality/value ratio Simple and clean hotel. Do not expect something fancy. A good place to stay for a sleep, everything you need in the bathroom is there, A/C works perfectly. A cheap option to stay on Stresa, 2 min from the lake.

No small fridge in the room where you can cool water bottles during the 33 degrees heat weather, weak Wi-Fi, shower water was not draining and you were standing in that dirty soapy water while bathing.

The room is short on modern basics like bins and flat surfaces around the sink. As we went by car we had a lot of luggage but most had to stay in my case.
The location of the hotel is brilliant. We only took the car out of the garage to visit another lake in the area. The station and Stresa centre are a short walk away so is the lake. We swam in the lake and in five minutes we were back in the hotel. The shower and air conditioning and bidet were excellent. Room service was great.

Breakfast was only until 9:30.
Location was good, a 3 min walk to the train station and about the same to the lake shore. Any hotel along the front was double the cost. We were given rooms in the new section which was only opened this year, fairly plain but at the same time had everything we needed.
