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...).

PhilippinesThe veranda is exactly what in the picture. The unit is very beautiful and clean. The amenities were helpful. The location is near to everything. The gelato store under the unit is one special treat. The host, Lorena, patiently waited for us to arrive. She even welcomed us with wine. Her family also did a favor for us that we will never forget. Book this property and you will not regret it. The host will treat you as her family.

United StatesThe bathroom facility in the unit was not easy to use...shower/bath was not safe and hard to keep water off of the floor with the half stall. Washcloths and more towels would have been nice. Noise level was quite high with walkway just underneath apartment. Quite a lot of cobblestone steps to navigate, especially for older people.
Lovely property and location was just beautiful! Alberto was quite accommodating and nice.

AustraliaNothing to share here, we didn't have anything negative for our stay.
Our host Alberto met us at the rail station and drove us to Casa Pergola. A short walk from the car, but that was expected considering where we were. Casa Pergola is situated right on the lake with a fantastic view and is centrally located for easy access to restaurants, the ferry terminal and the main square. The facilities in the apartment were top notch. The bed was very comfortable and there was plenty of space to relax in. A first-floor unit with a side balcony exclusive to the unit, was large enough to relax on in warmer weather. We couldn't have been happier with this lovely accommodation.

Everything 1-The owner Mrs Lenora very helpful and offers us free transfer from train station to the property 2-the apartment well equipped with everything you need for long or short stay 3- the location in the heart of Varenna lake so you can reach everything within few minutes walk. The view is stunning and breathtaking 4- Although we came in law season but there was really a lot of thing to do just if you like the nature and ferry transportation from lake to others

AustraliaAbsolute heaven on earth is Casa Pergola. As a group of coeliacs (gluten free) we totally enjoyed the self contained kitchen and were even able to do our washing! The location and views cannot be matched anywhere in this region. Central location. Excellent service from the hosts with pickup from the train and being taken to the apartment. This stay is one that will be an absolute highlight of our lives. And your own gelato shop right downstairs. Nothing beats getting up in the morning and enjoying Varenna before the tourists arrive.

United StatesNothing!
Communication with the hosts was excellent, and they provided great service. The location couldn’t be beat! The view out of the windows was spectacular. The apartment, while not luxurious, was very cozy and comfortable. Varenna is lovely, and there are many restaurants and shops within an easy walk of the apartment. Just be aware that there are steep steps everywhere in Varenna and the ingress and egress to the apartment are no exception. The ferry was close enough to be easy to get to, but not too close to be a disturbance.
