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

Wonderful Stay at Villa @ Home Hotel Locarno! We had a fantastic experience at Villa @ Home. The place is beautifully designed, clean, and very cozy — it really feels like a home away from home. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, and the location is perfect: peaceful, yet close to the center and the lake. We especially loved the charming garden and the lovely breakfast. Highly recommended!

RomaniaEverything was very good. Just an observation … In the apartment we felt the need of a couch in the kitchen-dining area, for confy stay while other/others cook… we managed however fine with the table chairs.
Everything was amazing. We were a bigger group and had the two rooms with a big common terrace and the apartment. One of the rooms had two bathrooms (one was huge) which was a great asset for us as a familly with many kids. The view from the terrace was very nice. The apartment was very big too, with nice and well equiped kitchen (just one bathroom). All the rest of the house can be enjoyed: a good kitchen, a cozy living-room, considered as common spaces. Close to the city center… good breakfast… comfortable beds…and the host very nice and welcoming.

This classic Italianate villa was really beautifully restored, very comfortable and with excellent amenities. The modern kitchen was very useful - apparently shared but we saw no one else! Great views from the room and huge wonderful balcony/terrace. Handy for the railway and buses. We loved it!

LatviaThe apartment was perfect except for two things: there was no television, and the WiFi signal was somewhat weak, particularly when trying to connect from the rooms.
The apartment boasted pristine conditions, nestled in an ideal spot merely a ten-minute stroll from both the bustling city center and the tranquil lake. The environs were superb. Its lofty ceilings added to the sense of space and modernity, while the kitchen was well-equipped with every utensil needed for a comfortable stay. Moreover, a covered public parking area is available close by at an affordable price. Ensure you carry coins, or alternatively, you can download the EasyPark app. The app is highly efficient, allowing you to pay for the exact parking time used, rather than an estimated amount.

SwitzerlandIn the description of booking .com it was mentioned that there is a parking on the site of the property and for us it was one of the decisive factor to choose this location. However, in reality it was a public parking and we always were stressed if there is an available place when we had to park the car.
The staff was very nice and helpful.

SwitzerlandSoft classical music plays 24/7 ,(perhaps to create atmosphere) but apparently it can be turned off on site.
Things to know. You can use the communal kitchen to store a few things. If you want breakfast, you can book and get it at the hotel half a block away. It's good. The bathroom (toilet) is one floor down, and kept locked. The shower is adjacent to the room. (en-suite) I didn't know the key was hanging in the room that contains the shower. Good to know if you have to go in a hurry.

CanadaIt was a little chilly in the rooms. Which was fine for me but my daughters would have preferred it a little warmer. Also the owner sent a video of how to find parking. The video showed them driving and then turning down the road to find the underground parking. I watched the video a few times but when you've never been to Locarno you will not remember what the video showed and driving while watching the video does not work. So I would have preferred a google pin of the parking or just a drawn map with correct street names. I was told parking was accessible from Via Morley but Google was not able to find that street because it is actually called Via Sara Morley. Other than that little hiccup at the beginning all was great.
Nice old villa in Locarno. Big huge ceilings. Very clean. Would be the perfect spot to stay for a few days. 10 minute walk down to the waterfront. The 2 room suit we rented had kitchen facilities. If I ever want to stay a few days in Locarno I will definitely look this place up again. Best shower ever. :)

United KingdomWe had looked on booking.com for places with parking included and this was not the case. We had to park in a public car park nearby which was hard to find and full when we arrived. It made the arrival very stressful. We eventually found a free space. The parking wasn’t expensive but we were led to believe from the information that it was on site. We would advise that guests are allowed to park in the hotel car park, at least for arrival to be shown to the villa first, the deal with the parking.
This was such a nice Villa with lots of shared space, beautiful room and bathrooms as well as big balcony with lake view. It was very central to walk down to the lake and felt like a nice part of town.

SwitzerlandI read the comments before booking so I knew I would find a nice room in a villa but we were still surprised. Upon entering we already blinked at the sound of jazz music coming from the living room. The villa is surrounded by a nice furnished garden that we did not use because when we arrived in the suite we immediately sat on the terrace enjoying a beautiful view of the town and the lake at the back. The suite for 3 adults is ideal. The double bed very comfortable and large. The sofa bed ideal for one person. Bathroom with balcony. Everything clean. In room also coffee maker, kettle and sweet snacks for waking. Cinzia&Nadia are 2 nice and welcoming Hosts who deliver a great communication even if we had a self check in

SwitzerlandA dream villa! I just stayed overnight in the deluxe suite for 3 people in this wonderful villa. The directions received on the day of arrival were very clear. Even a video on how to open the safebox and then the doors left no doubt. I could recognize the building right away. It is an impeccably renovated and upscale privat villa from the last century. High ceilings and blackout curtains. The suite with a huge terrace with beautiful views made us feel we were in an exclusive place. The sofa bed for the third person was comfortable and large even if I wouldn't consider it suitable for 2 adults. Too bad we only stayed one night. We will gladly keep the address for a future stay. We found the price fair and was over 300 francs. We did not have breakfast at the hotel because we left early but there would be that option as well
