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...).

PhilippinesThe bedroom is a bit small.
The hostess was very pleasant. I wanted to experience being in a real Italian house, and I got it. It was part of my cultural experience

United KingdomNothing, a perfect stay.
Hostess Paola was delightful, her large house / B&B is beautiful and a lovely place to stay. Homely and welcoming. Breakfast (Italian style) was superb and plentiful. Self access in and out of the house at any time. Anyone wary of dogs should know Paola has three very large dogs who live in the garden but they are very docile and do not bark at or bother guests. Also two friendly cats who might join you for breakfast!

United KingdomThis is probably reflected in the lower price but the bathroom is shared (not a real problem for us personally). The checkout was rather early but we were up early anyway so it didn't matter much to us. Be aware there are dogs (also not a problem for us personally but if you're allergic you should know).
Fantastic building and grounds, perfect location for our purposes (though it's farther from Varese's main stations, it's near another one on the direct route to Milano Cadorna station). Exceptionally friendly staff and extremely cozy, homey atmosphere.

IrelandWished I could speak Italian to strike up a decent conversation cause you were lovely. I was in a bit of a hurry so couldn't find a pen to write a feedback in the guestbook. I wasn't too sure if I could use the kitchen to microwave or cook. Breakfast was on the house and I was eating my meals outside but I wasn't sure if I could cook or find pots or pans. It was hectic enough schedule so I did get away with some snacks :)
Paolo was really hospitable and the BnB itself was in a beautiful sprawling garden really close to the heart of the Varese city. Quite splendid for a family run place. The amenities are on point .. toiletries, nice shower, access 24/7, choice of coffee, little refreshments, thought off breakfast, the two doggo's and so on. They were lovely to lend me a bike which I really was able to use to get around. A little smaller for 5'10" and two different valve types on the tires but enjoyed having the choice to nip about. The attention to detail was something you'd expect from a star hotel like the folding of the toilet paper, she really went beyond on service. There was a wee TV in the room too which was handy for a night in (all Italian channels but comforting with a wide variety). There's ample place to park your car too. This is a nice quiet place and something I would recommend going to again if I were in Varese that's close to your shops, restaurants, church, bar etc. and a short bus away from Sacro monte di Varese

LuxembourgVery nice, cozy place to explore northern Italy (namely the Sacro Monte di Varese - which is very beautiful) + Lugano. I rented a car and found it very convenient to visit Varese and Lake Como area (short stay), though there are a few other places worth visiting here. The hosts were nice and accommodated a special breakfast request. Would go again and recommend.

United KingdomThe breakfast didn't like as I expected something more local, consistent, and traditional for the price i paid for the room. I found it quite simple. Some cereal, one egg, the bread quality was not good (industrial and dry) and there were only jam to eat it with. I was still hungry after i finished.
The owners were amazing and incredibly friendly and nice. The house was beautiful and quite cleaned. The room and the bed very comfty. The landlady was very kind to me all the time.
