How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewAmazing views from the property, located right by the lake with a stunning panorama of the water and surrounding mountains. The rooms are comfortable, clean, and well-maintained, providing a perfect retreat after a day of exploring. The peaceful ambiance and natural beauty made for a truly relaxing stay.

Verified reviewContactless check in. Little beach nearby. Lakeview from the bedroom. There was an iron and a hair dryer available. Place is small, but has potential. The walk to the centre of Bellano is rather lovely, with flowers and lights for added ambience of sun setting by the lake.
The property was not very clean. The apartment seemed neglected, though it had lots of potential. Parking was a no go for a lowered car so we parked at a lot nearby.

Verified reviewThe check in and check out process is really comfortable, the location is great - walking distance to everything you need, the amazing breathtaking!
The studio needs to be renovated as some of the features are old. It is not functional, so this makes it not very comfortable, especially if you are traveling with kids or there are more than two persons.

Verified reviewThe view was stunning and would normally cost a lot more. It was an unobstructed view of the lake from Bellano across to the other side. Stunning. The instructions for key pick up, finding the apartment and parking were all very clear. It was an easy walk into Bellano. Having a designated parking space down the driveway next to the building was great. There was a washing machine in the bathroom with laundry detergent. In the kitchen area of the living room was an oven, gas hob with 4 rings, microwave and small fridge with a freezer compartment. There were also some supplies like tea, coffee, salt, vinegar but no oil. Good aircon and wifi very good. We had a minor problem with the washing machine and someone came very promptly.
The apartment was smaller than we expected. There was not enough room at the end of the bed to easily get passed. We unpacked our suitcases and put them back in the car as there was little spare space to store them. The terrace was skinnier than the picture showed. It was just wide enough for the table and 2 chairs and the drying rack to fit. The Bagless key system worked well but you had to park around the corner in paid parking. There was nowhere outside to even stop to drop off one person. You then repeated the process at the end of your stay. The bedroom only had thin curtains and it was impossible to reach the shutters outside. We had friends stay with us for one of our nights. The sofa sleeper was okay but maybe more suitable for children or one adult. It was quite crowded with 4 adults. We didn't use the beach as the weather was pretty awful while we were there but some instructions of where to access it and about the key would have been helpful. All in all, the view trumped everything at the price we paid!

Verified reviewThe view from the apartment was amazing! It was close to the town centre. It was just what we needed. Close to a little beach!
The pillows could do with updating. Other than that really enjoyed our stay!
