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.).

AustraliaThe carpet in the rooms could do with an update. Some of the staff at the front desk were not super helpful. Felt like they were sick of tourists!
Fantastic location, easy to get to the other main towns, and great facilities in the property. Our room had the old carpet however it felt clean and tidy. Most of the staff were excellent and really helpful!

United StatesI can only say that I was a bit disappointed in the age of the hotel interior sections. Everything seemed in need of a remodel to bring the furnishing in the rooms, halls and common areas up to a current state.
Staff extremely helpful throughout our visit. The hotel location was excellent, views were amazing from room, rooftop bar and restaurant. Absolutely loved the rooftop bar for drinks, coffee, snack and food. One evening there was even music. We went there every day/night during our stay. Breakfast was wonderful, staff friendly and the atmosphere was open, light and comfortable. The location of this hotel was perfect to access transportation on the water, walking to a few local restaurants along the walkway and was also on public transport line. Pool on the property was beautiful and well maintained.

CroatiaHotel is nicely decorated but it needs a little bit of refurbishment.
Hotel is ideally situated on the shores of the lake. Staff was very helpful and polite. Our room was spacious and comfortable as well as the bathroom. You have a minibar in the room. Room was very clean. There are slippers and pool towels also in the room. Breakfast was sufficient and staff at the breakfast was very friendly. Parking is free of charge. Bar terrace is spectacular. It is situated on the top floor with breathtaking views of the lake, mountains and other villages. There was even a girl who played the harp.

United StatesFerry system needs MUCH improvement - confusing, long wait times, expensive (we had to pay twice because no one told us that the last slow ferry from Como was 3pm). Again, ferries in Lenno to Villa Balbionello need improvement. We waited over an hour and a half because there was only ONE ferry from Lenno to Villa Balbionello and the ferry was not handicap accessible. (My husband almost fell twice because of the rockiness of the ferry and lack of assistance.)
breakfast was wonderful, location quiet yet Tremezzo, Villa Carlotta, and Cadenabbia (3) ferry docks were very close, so easy reachable to Belaggio, Varenna, Lenno, etc. Food at the restaurant was EXCELLENT, view from restaurant were INCREDIBLE. Italians are nice people (we have been to Italy 3 times and NEVER had a bad experience).

AustraliaMinor things only: Air con needs an upgrade but it was a heatwave when I was there. Street runs in front of hotel so it can be noisy if you like to sleep with windows open, especially if other guests decide to have loud speaker phone conversations or arguments in the middle of the night. Would be great to have some pool service (food/drink).
Fantastic location on the lake and close to ferry ports, close to Bellagio and other lovely towns. Staff very helpful. Food is very good. Hotel has old world charm and is very clean and efficient. Lovely view of lake. It’s a very good quality 4 star hotel - sure you don’t get the 5 star glitz and glamour - but this feels like a genuine Italian experience. Pool area is lovely and has lots of chairs which is great.
