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...).

United StatesThe AC is great! Has both washer and dryer but dryer does not work well—ended up hanging our wash to dry. Window facing lake was broken with a note saying not to open. That was a bummer because we missed out on that prime view. Love the small touches, like laundry soap, paper towels, and shower body wash—super helpful. Location was excellent. Varenna is incredible!

AustraliaIt was all perfect.
Very central to the areas of Lake Como, the ferry dock and the town it self. The apartment is light and airy, very well equipped and spotless. A contemporary building. Our host, Alberta met us at the station and drove us to our Apartment. Even though it’s an easy walk. He was also very helpful with information on the area.

United StatesThis ordinarily would not be very important except that one of our visit days we experienced extremely wet weather so we decided to just stay in and watch TV in the apartment, the gripe is that the TV was a bit small by modern standards. Though, had it not rained, we may have never turned the TV on. Also, the apartment is up one flight of stairs and does not have an elevator. This was not a problem for us but those intending to pack heavy luggage should be aware. Neither of these two comments impacted our extremely positive rating of this location!
Varenna is a small town so I don't think there would be a bad location, but this apartment was only steps away from the ferry landing and very close walk to the train station, both positive aspects for us as we arrived by train and had intended to make extensive use of the ferry to explore areas around the lake. The apartment was clean and spacious for two people and had incredible views of the lake on one side and highlands behind us. The lake side view was included a floor to ceiling window pretty much as depicted in the ad. The host met us at the apartment and reviewed the facilities with us, and very responsive and accommodating. We would definitely stay again.

AustraliaStairs but that was fine. All the places in Italy have stairs.
Perfect for a couple and a baby. Nice and close to the ferry stop. Great to have a washing machine. Really such a lovely place. The views are incredible. My advice is to stay around Varenna because the boats are just way too busy to visit other towns like Bellagio.

United StatesCasa Ferry has beautiful views of the lake, and the location right by the ferry port and nearby the train station is very convenient. It’s also a short and scenic walk to the other side of Varenna, where there are more restaurants and shops. We really enjoyed our stay, and getting a ride from the train station to the property when we arrived was a great bonus!
