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 reviewView of Como lake is excellent - we saw it like the birds :) Service and meal were pretty good.
It's rather high location and it's hard to get there on own car.

Verified reviewGorgeous view and very nice hosts. The stay is incredibly unique and provides an amazing view of Lake Como. The hot tub is at a very comfortable temperature and you can lose yourself in a book with the view and the bubbles bubbling away. Internet speed was great too which the kids enjoyed during down time. The drive to the guest house is memorable and the other reviews do not dissapoint! Exhilerating and phenomenal driving skills make it an experience on its own. Make sure you park in the big parking lot and don't try driving up there! You'll understand once you've experienced the drive up from the parking lot. I've added a picture to give you an idea of the ride up!
We had the family suite and the bathroom is reachable by going through one of the rooms - important to realise if someone gets up a lot in the night.

Verified reviewAn amazing villa high up in the hills above lake Como. Breathtaking location and views. The team that run the place are very friendly and ready to do almost anything you ask. Considering the location, the team manage dinners, breakfasts, they take you down to the village and up to the villa (you would not want to do it in your car!) and they do it all with a smile. Great food, great choice of drinks, relaxing, wonderful location.

Verified reviewExceptional stay – truly a hidden gem! This place is absolutely amazing. We've stayed in many hotels and apartments abroad, but nowhere have we felt as good as we did here. The atmosphere is one of a kind. The hotel is located near the top of a hill and offers breathtaking views of Lake Como and the nearby villages. You're surrounded by stunning nature, and every morning you're greeted by the sound of singing birds. The staff are simply wonderful – incredibly kind, helpful, and always ready to assist. They responded immediately to all our questions and happily arranged transport from the nearby parking lot to the guesthouse and back down the hill whenever we needed it. The price is very reasonable, especially considering everything you get. Breakfast is fresh, healthy, delicious, and all-you-can-eat. If you choose to have dinner, you won’t be disappointed – the host prepares everything himself, including great coffee, fresh fruit, and amazing local meats. In the evening, you can unwind in the jacuzzi while enjoying the view of the lake and the twinkling lights of the towns across the shore. A little paradise on Earth. We’ll definitely be back!
