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):
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.
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.).

PolandThe best apartment in Lake Como! We love our stay at Picobello Lago. Apartment is in really good location, near the beach, shop and city centre. The apartment is lovely and was decorated with great taste. The owners were very good to deal with — they answered questions but did not impose. They gave us some good recommendation about places nearby and it was nice to chat a little bit. The bed was very comfortable. This is our favourite place and we will definitely come back more than once. I will recommend it to friends and family.♥️

Lovely place to stay, Kaja was an amazing host and made us feel so welcomed. She provided lots of recommendations for the lake and how best to access places with transport and even provided complimentary prosecco for us to enjoy in the garden upon arrival. The room was clean, bed was comfy and the AC worked well. It Location was great, Mandello is a lovely area which didn’t feel overcrowded with fellow tourists yet was still easy enough to navigate to the surrounding villages. Couldn’t recommend this place more, would definitely come back!

PolandWe were absolutely delighted with our stay at this hotel! We spent a long time choosing where to stay and can confidently say we made the right decision. The location is fantastic. The hotel is situated in a quiet, non-touristy area, which allowed us to fully immerse ourselves in the atmosphere of a small Italian town — with its own rhythm of life, culture, and traditions. The absence of crowds made it possible to truly enjoy the peace and quiet, accompanied only by the sound of birdsong. All major attractions are within easy reach, and the area has excellent transport links. It’s easy to get around by train, car, or even by water transport. The hotel itself is very cozy and comfortable. The rooms are spotless, with stylish and tasteful interiors. The fresh linens and attention to detail create a warm and welcoming atmosphere — you can really feel the care and heart put into this place. Staying in the room is relaxing and makes you feel right at home. We would especially like to thank the host for their outstanding hospitality. We received detailed recommendations on what to see around Lake Como, how to get around, and where to eat. They were always in touch and ready to help with anything we needed — which made our stay even more enjoyable. We truly recommend these apartments to anyone planning a trip to Lake Como. A wonderful place where you'll feel genuinely welcome!

United KingdomNothing, it was wonderful.
A superb welcome from a knowledgeable and friendly host was a wonderful start to a comfortable stay where we could relax and unwind in peaceful Mandello at the clean and stylish accommodation. The parking was free and in a parking bay at the apartment. We were given clear instructions to find the parking before arrival. Although breakfast is not included, plenty of information is given by the host for breakfast options nearby and the fridge in the room allows you to store milk for making teas and coffees. Everything was of high quality. There are a few seating areas available, indoors and outdoors, if you want an alternative place to relax. It was a very nice experience to stay somewhere so exceptional, a 5 minute walk from the lake.

United KingdomEverything at Picobello Lago was perfect - the room was exceptionally clean, the extra sofa bed was comfortable and easy to pack away, good wifi, and there's a lovely garden and terrace if you decide to use the kitchen to make your own meals. Elena was a great host, she sent us lots of recommendations for food options and shops nearby and was responsive by text if we needed anything. She and Kaja also helped us to plan our onward travel during train strikes. The town itself is a great stop for visiting Como - not too touristy and it's easy and cheap to get a ferry to Bellagio or a train to Varenna to see the larger towns.
