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.).
This service may contain translations powered by Google. Google disclaims all warranties related to the translations, express or implied, including any warranties of accuracy, reliability, and any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement.

United StatesThe only thing was it didn't have Air Conditioning. In the summer, that could be a downfall. Fortunately, we didn't need it.
Everything was great. Our hosts were exceptional. They met us at the train station and took us to the apartment to show us around. They answered any messages immediately. The apartment was 5 minutes away from the train station and a short walk to Old Town. The apartment was HUGE--far more than we needed!

AustraliaNothing, we were very happy with our stay
Valerio and family met us at the train station and helped with bags and transportation to accommodation, the apartment was very clean and the facilities were very comfortable. The apartment is in great location, 3 minute walk from the train station and very close to ferry terminal. Varenna was our favourite location on the lake, Valerio and family were great hosts and made our stay all the more enjoyable, I highly recommend this apartment to families or couples travelling together.

SingaporeThe bathroom upstairs is a shower in a bathtub, water tends to splash out wetting the floor.
Its very clean, well equipped & has herbal teas/coffee, cooking condiments like olive oil, black pepper etc. The quilt bedding is so warm & comfortable in the cold. I had such a good sleep every night.

United StatesAs with many places in Europe, there are no screens on the windows.
We were met at the train station by the hosts who had brought a car for our luggage. It was an easy walk to the apartment. The location is excellent: less than 10 minute walk to center of town, ferry, small grocers. There is a bank with an ATM across the street. The trail to the Castello is just up the street to the left. The kitchen is decently equipped. I definitely recommend Casa Valerio.

United KingdomLack of good quality fan upstairs - It was exceptionally hot in general. Cannot avoid stairs to reach flat, so, if you have heavy luggage, like us, it is a little struggle
Excellent location near to station , lake and ferry. We went to lake swimming 2 days in a row. Excellent communication and service from host. All amenities in flat very good and clean.

A very spacious and comfortable apartment, exceptionally clean, unbeatable location (a few steps to the shore, boat service and amenities), very reasonable parking (but tight entrance, so would not be easy for bigger cars), very kind and generous hosts.

United StatesThe couch was too soft, so it was hard to get in and out of it. The beds upstairs are very firm, which was tough on old bones. The location was near the ferries and train station, which placed you far from town center and had some slight train noise at night.
The space was good for 4 adults. The water pressure was great and the hot water was almost too hot. There was a full kitchen, but we only used the refrigerator.
