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 reviewThe location was good walking distance from everything
Where do I start the room seemed nice at first with a big bathroom and plenty of space. The hot water doesn’t work and we said something on the first day even worse the weather was rainy and cold so we wanted a hot shower couldn’t have one. They never came to fix it ruined our whole honeymoon experience every time we said something we got told let the water run for five minutes we did it got no warmer than room temp not freezing cold but like a swimming pool temp. The noise at night is ridiculous street noise till all hours bin trucks and people and music blaring

The property has parquetry floors which are in need of repair outside bathroom door. They are a safety hazard for which my wife tripped over and fell down. You need to repair this issue as soon as possible room 1.

Verified reviewLocation is very central, easy to access, elevator, air con, high ceilings, beautiful decor, nice big bathroom.
Photos in booking.com are perhaps a little deceiving. The water view is an at angle if you stand at the window. We thought at first we had the wrong room but compared photos and realised the decor was the same. Don’t be put off it’s a great room in a terrific location but it’s important to know what you are paying for and it’s not an uninterrupted view to the water
Dear Alison, Thank you very much for your feedback and for sharing your experience. I would like to clarify that the image of the lake shown on our Booking.com listing is not taken from the room itself, but is intended to give guests an idea of the beautiful area nearby. The actual view from the room is at an angle, as you described, and does not offer a direct, uninterrupted view of the lake. I’m sorry for any confusion this may have caused and I really appreciate you bringing it to our attention. We always strive for transparency and will review our listing to make sure expectations are clear for future guests. Thank you again for choosing our property and for your helpful comments!

Verified reviewThe location is very central and convenient.
The A/C unit did not work, meaning that we had to keep the windows open. We contacted the number provided by message for assistance, but no one replied. The room is directly above a busy restaurant therefore it was extremely noisy at night.

Verified reviewVery central and close to the lake with a Carre Four close by and coffee shops for morning pastries and coffee. Host was quick to respond to queries and requests.
The room is located above a bar/restaurant with very loud music and outdoor dining directly below. Expect noise until 2am. At 5am the garbage collection arrives and it gets noisy again with different collections (recycling etc). We were lucky to get more than 3 hours of sleep most nights. The shower in the bathroom will flood the bathroom and bedroom if put on full power. We had to roll up some towels to create a barrier for the water. We were only able to get Luke warm water from shower but we realised too late that turning the power down gave warmer water.

Verified reviewBeautifully designed place with a huge bathroom. Perfect location to explore Como and go on boat tours.
On the first night there was no hot water in the shower for about 10 minutes, the other day only had to wait about 2 minutes to get hot water. The shower window leaked water right in front of the toilet so you had to be careful not to step into it with socks.

Verified reviewLocation was good, because it's close to the lake, to the restaurants, train stations.
Absolutely do not recommend for anyone who likes sleeping at night. From the minute we arrive - loud music from outside restaurants, noisy street and people chatting and laughing till 2a.m. And after that - restaurants cleaning, throwing their glass bottles to the trash LOUDLY and then at early morning garbage truck comes to take all the same bottles. So you will be sleeping from 6a.m. to maybe 11a.m., when the city wakes up and starts to do all that again. We chose this guesthouse because it specifically says - the room is soundproof. I don't know, what they mean by that, because it's anything but soundproof and silence, especially at night, for us is really important, so we feel like we were tricked. We asked for opportunity to leave one night early because of all this noise and to stay somewhere else, but the owner completely ignored us. Besides that room wasn't clean, there are cobwebs on windows, mirrors and shower walls were dirty. We stayed 4 nights and got just one set of towels per person. Shampoo and shower gel dispensers where empty, we got just a few shampoo samples, definitely not enough for the stay. The smells from all the restaurants wasn't very nice as well, especially in the bathroom.
