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 use a weighted review system which means that 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 StatesThe room was super tiny as was the bathroom. No closet or drawers to put your clothes in.
Stayed at the hotel from August 25 to 28. The location is great.; right on the lake. Walking distance to everything. The town of Varenna is great for a relaxing vacation. The staff were super helpful with everything including booking a taxi and finding a bus to Milan. The breakfast was amazing with a lot of choices.

United StatesWe stayed in the Casa Gialla which felt like such a treat. We were able to have the comfort of an apartment feel with the amenities of a hotel. The complimentary breakfast was superb with a breathtaking view each morning. Nothing beats strolling around the city streets early morning and late evening when there are no crowds. Highly recommend!

SingaporeThere is no elevator in the building but we expected this from reading the previous reviews. The entire varenna is full of stairs as well so nothing out of the ordinary.
Cozy hotel with friendly and personable staff! Rather clean. The hotel building itself is probably quite dated but well refurbished! Location is great as well - near enough to the station yet also very close to the lakeside as well.

United StatesBreakfast buffet is good but a little variance everyday would be a good addition. We stayed for 3 nights, would be great to have a little twist of the breakfast each day.
The property is overlooking the Lake Como. They have a buffet breakfast on a big terrace over looking the mountains and the lake. The view from this terrace is breathtaking. The staff are so kind, Betina is so sweet. They are helpful in anyway they can. The room is clean with good kind of towels, love their bath soap. The smell of the room is magical. Love it! Love it !
