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.).

United StatesKeep in mind if you have a lot of luggage it could be difficult to do the walk from Varenna or from the Fiumelatte station. We had only backpacks so it was doable (a little steep - be in good shape!)
This apartment exceeded our expectations. It was spacious and clean. It’s right next to a small river in a quiet village, right next to a portion of the Greenway that leads directly uphill to the train station. The train from Milano Centrale Stazione transfers in Lecco to Fiumelatte which was very easy. Giulia was very responsive and checked in to make sure we were set. We enjoyed staying in Fiumelatte rather than Varenna — the walk is short and beautiful. There is a sidewalk for the majority of the walk (you can take the Greenway trail along the road for the portion without a sidewalk).

United StatesThere are two local restaurants, the one up the hill had a fantastic view and food, for anything else need to walk into town and at times there are no sidewalks. It’s fine to walk on the streets, everybody was doing it, but do need to be on alert rather than have a mindless stroll. Despite the hike would definitely stay there again.
Host gave very clear instructions of how to find the place and open the key box, great communication before and during the stay. I didn’t have to send any messages she always checked in with me. The place was spacious, clean, and the washing machine was a huge plus. Had a smart TV so I could watch Netflix, You Tube, etc.

AustraliaWhen booking this property says it is in varenna but it is out of varenna in fiumelatte. While beautiful where is nothing really here so it is hard to get any groceries at all - just something to be mindful of.
The view from the property was beautiful and it was very clean and easy to use. Wifi was a little slow but fine. There was coffee provided and some breakfast snacks which is helpful as the nearest supermarket is in Varenna - about 1km away or a train ride which only comes hourly. The host was kind and responsive

United KingdomHaving to leave the property.
Stunning, well equipped, beautifully decorated and clean property with a beautiful view on the lake. An 18 minute walk away from Villa Monastera l- about a 23 minute walk along the lake to the Varenna square and a 30 minute walk to the ferry. A 2 minute walk away from a jetty where you can take a dip in the lake. Giulia was very helpful as there was landslides blocking the train into either Fiumlatte or Varenna- Esino station however she gave us the best route to get to the property from the airport. Multiple towels, shower gel and shampoo and some snacks provided.

United KingdomThe loft sleeping area is up a narrow steep staircase. For some of the walk into Varenna there isn't any footpath.
Our host was lovely and kindly picked us up at the train station, even though we arrived on a national holiday and it was very busy. Everything in the apartment is new and very clean and just like the pictures. There is everything you could possibly need provided, including drinks and snacks. It is a nice 20 minute walk into Varenna.

SwedenA bit abandoned feeling at some area nearby, but actually a quiet and cozy place. Maybe easier to drive there than take the train, but then you miss the special in this place.
Good, a fine place, nice house. A fine restaurant nearby is very cozy.

AustraliaWorth noting if you have mobility issues that the bed is up narrow stairs. Limited food options in Fiumelatte - need to go into Varenna to get food from the market or any restaurants.
Very beautiful and comfortable place. Guilia was very helpful and communicative the whole time. We were there during a landslide so transport was difficult to and from but Guilia did her best to help us work out ferry and train times etc, and also arranged for us to be picked up and dropped off at the ferry. It is about a 20 minute walk into Varenna which I was initially sceptical about but ended up being my favourite part of the trip - the walk along the lake is beautiful.
