Each review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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...).

Unfortunately some of the beds we expected to be prepared for us were not and we had to search for bed sheets. There were not enough towels for everyone in the group. We were advised to park at a public parking lot, which was permanently closed. The exact address was never mentioned and thus made check in difficult. There was broken glass all over the terrace.
In the famous town of Brunate, big terrace.

Great! Narrow and windling road up to Brunate, however worth it. Good place in Como area. The house is well located, close to the funicular down to Como, as well as places to eat. Brunate has a nice Italian touch.

Car parking is difficult, but some flexibility it is manageable.
Brunate is a small village above Como in the hills. The apartment is a fully equipped home, there is nothing you can miss among the equipments. Clean and well organized. Check-in is super easy, well described and photo illustrated. It is nice to have relaxing time in the village, cute restaurants available, low traffic, clean air, really calm atmosphere.

I understand that it was low season but the experience has been very suboptimal, to say the least. The apartment and especially the sheets were not clean at all, the heating was off even if it was November and it was super humid and cold inside the apartment. We all slept with our coats on. Parking is also an issue as I ended up parking 12+ minutes away on foot. The check-in instructions were disorganized and in random order so the whole process felt like a proper puzzle and it took ages to follow. The worst part was the communication with the owners. I understand that the average Italian doesn't speak English but someone can at least do the slightest effort and use a translation app to communicate with their guests, especially in so touristic places like Como Lake. I received the check-in instructions in English but all the details about the apartment were sent in Italian. As a result, I missed that I had to pay the owner the 12 EUR 'destination fee' and the 'city tax' by PayPal (unfortunately I had no cash with me). That was totally fine but instead of receiving a polite notification about it in the already existing WhatsApp thread that I had with the owners, someone from Booking Support contacted me to tell me that 'I left the accommodation without paying' and 'I didn't follow the policies'. It would take literally 30 seconds for a message to be translated in English and share the PayPal details by WhatsApp, I cannot find any reason to escalate to Booking.com for this. On top of this, there was no follow up from the owners when I tried to contact them and pay the two taxes. Overall, zero effort made to show the slightest consideration to visitors. It's really a lost opportunity because the apartment has the foundation to provide a great experience.
There is a spacious patio that you can use when the weather is nice. I am afraid it's difficult to find anything more than this.

The Booking webpage mentions a private parking, which is not correct - you need to use public parkings which can be full during the day. There was no information (photo) in advance about how to get the keys. The host was upset at the phone because we didn't know how to recognize the keybox. The appartment wasn't very clean when we arrived.
Very well situated, 5 minutes from Brunate funicolario.
