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...).

VenezuelaNothing to add
Was fresh, cozy, spacious, kitchen had all that we needed, fridge was working fine like freezing properly. Baths were also fresh and clean , bedroom comfortable , hangers wardrobe for the clothes. Next to the lake shore bank, I loved the location, 5 mins driving or 1 station away from Varenna. 2- 3 mins walking to the Bus station

FranceVery good apartment! We enjoyed our stay in this location, Savina the host was very kind. The location was easy to find. You have to walk around 25mn to be in center Varenna but honestly we did it every morning and evening and it was not a problem as you have a beautiful view of the lake on the road. One thing is missing though it would be nice to have a coffee machine to better start the day.

AustraliaBeautiful accommodation and Savina was a communicative and kind host. The layout is great and we made good use of the kitchen. The town was a 30 minute walk away up hill and so is the station so perhaps book a taxi in advance if you have lots of luggage.

United KingdomAll was perfect.
Fisherman’s House no 3 was just as expected, the apartment was clean and seemed newly renovated. Great value for money, in fact I believe the host could charge more for the facilities & perhaps offer a small welcome pack of pastries / tea / coffee to start the stay as there is no larger Supermaket close by.

New ZealandThe house is quite dark inside as it overlooks a road and hillside. Also we hadn’t realised it was a 25 minute walk to Varenna for us which after a days sight seeing was tiring.
It was spacious and comfortable and having access to a little private beach a few steps away was a bonus.

New ZealandThe apartment faced out onto the road and no lake view.
The apartment was per photos and was a nice walk to main centre of Varenna along lake edge. A lovely restaurant just along the road. And also up the hill. Cute private beach. Taxi recommendations were handy to get to train station.

AustraliaI loved it but would have been great to have a lake view. The mountains on my side were glorious but it was right next to the road. Maybe some softer pillows?

PolandThere are no grocery stores in closest area - but this is not the facility's fault. ;) (best option is to take ferry to Menaggio !! There is one store in Varenna (1.9 km) however, we do not recommend it due to very poor supplies.
Beautiful place. Despite the lack of a view of the lake, it fully met our expectations. The apartment is quite large. Clean and quiet, with a charming style. Fully equipped kitchen. A large bedroom with a very comfortable bed. The bathroom is large. It comfortably accommodates two people. The lack of an air conditioner does not matter, as the proximity of the lake significantly lowers the temperature in the evenings. The building itself is located right next to the lake. A few steps from the house there is a descent to a small pebbly beach with a wonderful log to sit on ^^ (partly under the terraces of the building itself), from which there is a beautiful view. When swimming, be careful with slippery stones :) There is Fiumalette Train Station nearby. You can't hear the trains so don't worry about noise. It takes 20 minutes to walk to nearby Varenna (approximately 1.9 km). The owner was very helpful and communicative. Wonderful woman :) The place fully met our expectations. We highly recommend!!! Thank you!

AustraliaIt was a little further out than I first thought but that was only an issue as we were exhausted from our previous locations we struggled with the walk a little more than we would have if it was our first stop.
It was a great little apartment, everything that you needed right there. Awesome having a kitchen available and a couch to relax on. Everything you want in a place to stay.

IsraelAbsolutely perfect place to stay! New stylish apartment with wonderful interior, clean, comfortable and modern bathroom, atmospheric kitchen and so on - it is an ideal place. The path to Varenna city centre takes about 15 min by walk along beautiful embankment and botanical garden. The house has his own small hidden beach downstairs from the corner of the building - we were swimming only there because we found it as the most comfy and cozy. Savina, the hostess, was always kind and responsive. I don’t know what to add more - we are just already dreaming about coming back there next time.

ChinaI stayed here for 3 nights. The room itself is pretty good but it is extremely noisy all day and all night with the cars passing by outside. I think there should have been some reminder in the description. Unfortunately the host seems to think it's normal and justified. She did not seem to be willing to help. I understand there was nothing she could do about it though.

FranceApparemment #3 is Incredibly noisy as the wall of the house is actually a border of a narrow main road connecting all the towns along the shore. The traffic was slowing down around midnight and restarting around 6am. So we could not sleep properly. The pillows were made of the memory foam and were very uncomfortable , not soft at all. Parking around the house is extremely limited , especially after 6 pm. We were lucky to get the last spot on our first night when we returned after 7pm. So after , for the remaining 3 nights of our stay we tried to return early. It’s a tiny hamlet with only 1 restaurant. We ended up having lunch somewhere else and something to snack in the apartment.
Located about 2 km from the Varenna centre , but it’s a very narrow or none at all walking pass so it’s unsafe to walk along this very busy road. Clean. Good kitchen Good bathroom

United StatesThis apartment is not in downtown Varenna. It’s a 15 minute walk to the center of Varenna. You need to walk on a busy road with no sidewalks or up in the hills or wait for the train that leaves on the hour that is five minutes to downtown that is right across the street and up a small hill from the apartment. It’s a great value for the area , very comfortable apartment.
Very cute apartment, nice modern bathroom, very clean.
