How guest reviews work
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...).

Before entering the main door there was litter all around. The WiFi never worked even though I had paid for Global Network on my phone. Difficult to message owner.

Verified reviewGood location, very clean and comfortable
It was difficult to find as it was not sign posted from the outside . When we arrived before check in, we were confronted by a metal door, no sign. We only received entry information after check in time and it was all in Italian. Fortunately the 2 cleaning ladies were very helpful with google translate. There was no complimentary water or tea and coffee in the room. Parking was almost impossible especially on market day when we arrived.

Verified reviewTucked away. Clean room. Good location.
Communication was extremely poor. We had to send repeated messages to the owner/management to ask about the check-in process and received no answer. Upon arrival, the WiFi wasn't working and again we had to send a couple of messages to ask to address the issue, stressing that I needed access for work-related purposes. We finally got a reply, but nothing happened to fix it! Very disappointing.

Verified reviewThe room itself was relatively clean and new.
The staff is was rude and unhelpful. First, I have asked via booking whether and early checkin is possible. I have gotten unhelpful and impolite answer in Italian - of course this does not have to possible, but for a question in English from a guest I would expect a helpful and polite (greetings etc as I did) answer in English. Second, and more important, the guest didnt send a request for IDs in advance (which of course, I am happy to provide), but when I messaged (according to the instructions) that I am in front of the door, the guest was like "first, send documents" so I answered we stand in the sun and would to make the pictures inside and send you the documents, can you let us in and the answer was "send the documents!!". This is unacceptable behaviour when I complained, the guest shut me up with "Enjoy your stay!" and didnt address my complain.

Verified reviewVery poor communication from management. Once I had made the booking I sent two messages asking whether it was possible to have an early check in or to leave luggage before check in time as we had two long flights from Australia and we were arriving in Arona mid morning. I had no answer at all to either question. When our flight from Sydney was cancelled we were unable to get to Milan for our booking date. I asked if the cancellation fee could be waived as this was not our fault and that message was answered very quickly -‘No’. Poor service.

The coffee and drinks vending machine was out of order, but there was no sign to indicate that this was the case.

Room without windows. The door lets a lot of light through. Scary stuffed bear at the entrance, which was very weird placed. So very scary when you go in the first time.

Verified reviewVery quirky accommodation, definitely not a hotel, but more of a serviced apartment. Major plus is the excellent location in the centre of Arona, very close to train station and ferry terminal. This can cause some sound issues, but generally quiet after midnight until about 7am. No breakfast as such but there is a (difficult to use) vending machine. Very good cafe virtually next door though
Lack of breakfast options, lack of window, some issues with noise

I didn’t like that my room did not have a window. I believe coffee and tea should always be included, and it was not. The Wifi was not good therefore i had to go elsewhere for my zoom meetings.

The entrance instructions are complex, couldn’t get AC to work properly and it really is necessary without a window. Parking instructions not clear.
