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...).

Luigi met us at the train to show us the place. The apartment looks like the photos. It’s in great shape. USB plugs in the bedroom were huge. Location is unbeatable. Great space for four people.

Absolutely beautiful apartment! Conveniently located at about 10 mins walk from the train station, 5 mins to the ferry terminal. Close to restaurants and convenient stores. Luigi is the perfect host. He picked us up at the train station and showed us around the town. The apartment is very clean, the beds are very comfortable, and the kitchen well stocked. We had a wonderful stay!

AustraliaShower water tended to run hot and cold. No lift and having to walk 4 flights of stairs with suitcases. The walk back to the train station which is approx 15 minutes slightly uphill is challenging if you’re not fit.
Clean modern 2 bedroom apartment Stunning view of the lake Great having a washing machine Didn’t cook but kitchen well equipped Luigi was amazing greeted us at train and transported us to Casa Posta- very helpful with suggestions of what to see and do including suggesting a superb restaurant approx 50 m out the front door to the left which we ate at - food Bellissimo!

New ZealandWe were collected by Gigi from the railway station and taken straight to the apartment. This apartment is clean, comfortable and we felt safe, with even an internal bolt on the door. I loved the view from the window seat, watching the ever changing vista of the beautiful lake. We loved our stay in Gigi's apartment!

United StatesThe kitchen was not well stocked. There was a coffee maker, but only instant coffee. No grocery store nearby that we could find. A small market was only open during the day, so we always returned without any food. It would have been nice to have some basic supplies like coffee and minimal snacks until we could find a market.
Apartment was in a great location. Beautiful view of Lake Como. Very clean. Luigi was very helpful. Nice large bathroom. Beds were comfortable.

AustraliaThe view and location.
Loved the view! It was amazing! The location was also great, 1 min walk and you are on Piazza San Giorgio where there are a few restaurants, mini market, bakery and cafe + a gelateria! Right across from the entrance door were steps leading down to the board walk along the water with many restaurants and shops etc. and easy walk to the ferry that stops at all the main villages such as Bellagio and Mennagio. Luigi or Gigi our host was super friendly and picked us up from the station. We have no hesitation recommending this property! The only negative, if you can call it a negative- there were no condiments or even coffee or tea. The apartment is fully equipped with everything including clothes detergent and dish washing liquid, pots pans toaster and coffee maker (drip coffee). For us however it was perfect as we were only there 2 nights so we had breakfast- cappuccino and cornetto at the local bar- perfection!

The view (it's spectacular) and the host were wonderful. Luigi gave us insightful advice and we took it. As a result, it was the best part of our trip. The apartment is chic, clean, and spacious. Beds were comfortable, and the location is literally the best you can find in Varenna--which is the most charming comune on the lake. Make sure you trek to the castle! It has fantastic views.
