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.).

AustraliaShower a little tight but are tall and managed ok.
Very clean. Comes with so many extras including free snacks and drinks. Location is perfect as central to everything. Host Ren is very welcoming. Breakfast provided by Ren was 10/10 and could not complain about anything. Bed was very comfortable and there was so much to like about this stay.

United KingdomGreat location, in a wonderful town on lake Como. Great for the ferry port and the train station (or replacement bus currently) The room was clean and tidy, along with a spacious clean bathroom.Very good continental breakfast with lots of choice and a good view of the mountains from the breakfast area. The hosts may not have spoken great English but managed to communicate everything we needed, they were both super friendly, accommodating and made us feel very welcome. Would definitely recommend.

AustraliaThe staff (a couple who owned the B&B) were so lovely. My partner and I are learning Italian and they were great to practice speaking with, very friendly and helpful. The location is a short walk from the lake and places to eat. Also close to the starting point of some good hikes/walks.

CroatiaWe had a wonderful experience staying at Renata’s place. She was incredibly welcoming, and the house is in a fantastic location. The room had everything we needed, and there was even a toothbrush - a thoughtful touch that was especially helpful for someone like me who always forgets to pack one. We especially enjoyed a delicious breakfast on the terrace. We would highly recommend staying here and would happily return in the future.

United KingdomMy cousin and I stayed here and highly recommend it! The hosts made us feel extremely welcome and were very helpful even before arrival. There was a train strike scheduled for our day of arrival so we were a bit concerned about how we would get there from Milan but the hosts gave us lots of information and alternative transport methods. The breakfast setup was lovely and we were sad to leave! Grazie mille Renata e Antonio
