Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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):
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.
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...).

Italyweak Wi-Fi that doesn’t cover all rooms, but it is normal with such old houses with massive walls. I understand that everything in this property is museum worthy and needs special restoration even for the slightest defect, but some extra attention to wall paint and or cleaning would be nice.
Position, size of rooms, view of the balcony, furniture, murals, ambient. This is a special place. One of a kind.

Super centrally located in the historic city centre, spacious, beautiful and clean apartment, well-equipped, terrace with lake view, very friendly staff; great swimming pool at their manor (at 2,5 km from the apartment; best to bring your own pool towels). Restaurant downstairs (called 909) deserves 10 out of 10 score for their meat dishes - absolutely fabulous quality, made with pride!

SwedenKitchen utensils were few and poor quality. The AC broke down and became noisy but we were compensated for that. Cleaning of floors could be better.
Beautiful rooms. The roofterrace was great. Central location in a small but wonderful town. Nice staff. Nice pool though a bit far away (car necessary). Restaurant in same house made great food.

Italy- nothing. The Palace is an awesome gem and probably the best structure in the town. Just some minimal hints: baths have bad smell sometimes and lights maintain a bit of light even if turned off
- rooms: Suite with Terrace - Brando is probably the best suite you can find on Castiglione - landscape: it is provably the only Hotel that offers a terrace with the awesome landscape of the lake - perfectly connected with the medieval atmosphere of the town. Rooms are ancient but overall well maintained - the owner is extremely available and it will do anything he can in order to satisfy your needs/problems

NetherlandsHighly outdated and in need of renovation. We had an apartment overlooking the lake (mainly from the roof terrace, just a glimpse from the bedroom) Master bedroom/bathroom could not be used due to the stench (it smelled musty). As a result, we were forced to take the smaller bedroom. Friendly and helpful staff, but it does not feel good to receive an email after departure asking to rate the stay with a 10 at booking.com

GermanyThere is no option for breakfast, but the apartment had kitchen, unfortunately...the dishes didn't seem clean, the coffee machine had old capsule in it and there was no salt/pepper/some oil or dish soap, though for the price one would somehow expect these few details, that would make it actually possible to find the kitchen useful. Also electrical vehicle charging station does not belong to the property and the public parking is also quite far way.
The hotel is in a good location and spacious.

AustraliaThe bed was very uncomfortable.It was like sleeping on a rock . The shower was in the bath top and difficult to use . The internet did not work at all. Also , all the restaurants did not serve dinner before 0730 hrs at night , which is quite late , when you are travelling and have been up since 6 am . But the experience we guess was worth it .
The location was just incredible . The building we entered was erected in 800 A.D. It was like living in a museum . The room and living area were perfect . The balcony just magical as you could get a glimpse from the beautiful lake . The little area around was like out of a painting. Nicely located to see the Tuscany and Umbria. The host was super friendly and knowledgeable.

MaltaCondition of the room. Poor wifi. It was not obvious that the spa is not in the building at all. Very obvious water damage on the ceiling. Cracks in the walls and floors. Very shabby. Small things like the shower head give the impression that the rooms are not well maintained. Lacking attention to detail. I hope the owners look into this.
The location is very good. Room was warm. Brando was very welcoming and helpful. The building itself is very interesting and the town is lovely.

United States of AmericaWorst place we stayed our entire trip- lack of communication and follow-up, all around unprofessional which is unfortunate because it's in a good location and has potential to be a great stay. we understand rooms are old and have character but they smelled musty/moldy with ripped furniture and hard beds. we were supposed to stay 2 nights here but took the hit and left after 1. we never received a response from Brando when we called/messaged him this.
The location was good in the middle of the town and the rooms were spacious.
