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 washer wasn’t working during our stay, but the dryer was nice to use for our wet swimsuits. The second bedroom was a pretty small space for my two teenagers to share. They made it work, but it was a tight squeeze.
The location is fabulous! Beautiful view of the water and close to restaurants and shops. The apartment was comfortable and cool, with great air conditioning.

The apartment has a front line view of the lake. It is stunning! We spent evenings and mornings sitting on the balcony watching the world go by. Watching the sunset was pure bliss ❤️

United StatesThe temperature was a little cold in the smaller room, even with the heat turned up in the living room. But that was only the first night, when outdoor temperatures were below average.
This apartment met all of my expectations. It was spacious and clean. The location and view were excellent.

AustraliaNot really a problem with the property, more with the length of time we spent in the showers as a family of 4. But the hot water did run short on a few occasions. Again not really an issue with the property but you just need to have quick showers.
The apartment was amazing. We were traveling as a family (2 adults and 2 kids) and we had heaps of space. It was perfectly located right in Varenna on the edge of Lake Como. The views each morning from the lounge and balcony are amazing. Each day the lake and mountains look different - depending on the sun and cloud. It’s a great little haven to escape the busy crowds during the peak of the afternoon - put your feet up and enjoy a spritz or two. All the essential facilities were provided for cooking and clothes washing, etc. Luca our host was extremely helpful.

New ZealandThe outside steps were a slight challenge due to being slippery as was raining (we are an older couple too which makes a difference) but this is life when travelling - you can’t change the weather. Even so a perfect place to stay.
Right on the lake edge, the location was perfect. The bed and lounge furniture was comfortable. Sitting in the lounge or on the balcony you can watch and be part of all the activity that goes on in Varenna and on Lake Como. A superb place to relax with cafes and restaurants just minimal steps away.

United StatesAll good
This was an excellent location with wonderful accommodations. The home is lovely and Luca , our host, was absolutely the best! He went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable. He picked us up at the train station when we were stuck due to a landslide stopping our train. The location to the ferry dock and the train is a few minutes walk. Bonus- the apartment is right above a gelato shop! Great restaurants are up and down the strand. There are beaches to swim in the lake. Boat rentals are right there as well. You will not be disappointed with this as a good choice. The views!!! Ah the views!!!!!!!!
