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.).

LithuaniaIt is a unique feature of the property and because of landscape - the stairs :D
The VIEW is amazing! You basically can see three cities of the lake Como: Bellagio, Menaggio and Varenna. Apartment is well equipped, there was everything we could need. And we loved those little surprises. It has a parking space around 200 meters from the property. because we arrived late I couldn’t find, however the instructions actually was pretty clear.

United StatesMattress needs replaced. No detergent provided for clothes washer. Should provide more towels. Too far from town so needed taxi everywhere. Hard to get taxi even though list of taxis was provided. Rita was overpriced and very rude and impatient. Mocked us in the taxi. On the other hand, Chicco from M.B. taxi service, was extremely kind, patient, helpful, generous, and honest.
Million dollar view. Mostly quite. Staff was helpful though somewhat impatient.

It is a long walk to any shops etc as it is out of Varenna but that didn't bother us but if you're older/less physically fit then you may have to get a car/taxi's

NetherlandsThe hair dryer is making a lot of noise despite not being much powerful. Washing machine a bit noisy too. The linen and towels smells too strong like a lot of detergent with a strong aroma was used. It could be a problem for person who is sensitive for smells like me.
View is stunning! The apartment is modern and clean. It has all appliances including coffee maker and nice vacuum cleaner. Easy self check-in. Easy communication with the owner. She replies really fast even on weekend. Own parking garage in a less than 10 min walks.

United StatesWe may not have read the description property but were expecting the property to be in the main part of Varenna. Instead, it is in a small town near the center (Fiumelatte). Because of this, we did not plan properly and arrived at the Varenna train station instead of Fiumelatte and did not rent a car for the trip. I would not advise to stay here if you are planning on travelling to Lake Como on foot as it is a pretty hefty 40 minute walk into the center of Varenna where mostly everything is (food, grocery, restaurants, sites, ferry terminal etc.). Especially in the July heat, this walk became very unpleasant to do once or even twice roundtrip a day. I would highly recommend renting a car or motorbike if you will stay here!
The apartment was simple and clean, with all the furniture you would need and spacious rooms. Spacious for 2 people, and could easily fit more. The balcony and patio were amazing bonuses and the VIEW from them was spectacular. We came in July so it was usually too hot and sunny to sit out there for long unless it was early morning or after the sun went down at night (but watch out for mosquitos in Lake Como!). Giulia was extremely nice and friendly and super helpful to answer any questions that came up.

SwedenThe location of Sweet View is far (and uphill) to walk from Varenna unless you come with a car. We did not find a taxi in town when we arrived and had to walk almost for an hour (with our luggage) to reach the apartment. Most of the 3,5 km walk is on the car road sometimes very close to the cars passing by. We received number to several taxis, but unfortunately we got it after we arrived to the apartment. Would be good if the owner in the future could inform guests beforehand that it is not suitable to walk with luggage. Then guests (or the owner) could arrange pick up by taxi before arrival to Varenna.
One of the best views of Lago Di Como one can imagine. Possibility to eat outside on the terrace.
