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.).

AustriaRoom was booked for 3 people and 1 bed was a fold-out bed that was small and creaky, not compareable to the big double bed that was way more comfortable. So for 1 person it was not as nice for the others. Maybe good to mention that in the booking that it is really an extra bed and nothing regular.
Great location, lake view, very clean, friendly staff.

Sri LankaThe AC in the room was a little weak, unfortunately. However if you close the wooden window blinds before the sun reaches the window it’s better :) we also thought it was a shame that you can’t swim in the lake right in front of the hotel. There is a ‘pool club’ like 5min away where you can swim.
We loved the restaurant, really a hidden gem! The room was comfy and cozy and the shower was fantastic! Also some lovely surroundings with a park nearby and bus stop at walking distance.

New ZealandLocation right next to the lake, peaceful and quiet. Comfortable bed and pillows. Good bathroom facilities. Booked and paid extra for a lake view room, could only get a very small peek of the lake through lots of trees. It was a lovely setting though. Restaurant closed Wednesday nights so didn’t get to experience it. Breakfast was adequate. Reception and wait staff at breakfast very friendly and efficient.

Rooms were bright, immaculate, simply furnished with comfy beds and spacious bathrooms. Breakfast and dinner each night was delicious with again, cheerful, and well presented staff. Dinner menu had a good variety with dishes the chef created to send you to food heaven, love this hotel.

It was many years ago I last stayed at this excellent lakeside hotel. It has certainly not gone downhill in the least. A very comfortable experience, enhanced by the impeccably professional staff, my stay was all too brief. My room was a self-contained double with a bathroom witha proper walk-in shower with accurate water and temerature control and a sun trap balcony. I ate breakfast and dinner in house and enjoyed every mouthful. The breakfast buffet is up with the best and being able to sit out in the huge al fresco dining area a pleasure.

Very well run property on Lake Varese, from efficient and pleasant checkin to the lovely restaurant, offering decent breakfast buffet and a la carte dining on the terrace or dining room. Plenty of free car park available, spacious rooms at reasonable prices. Owners are very hands-on involved with positive effect on the quality of the hotel services.

MexicoThe bed, at least for us, wasn't comfortable; it felt very hard. The pillows were definitely impossible to sleep on.
The place is nice and has a good location for what brought us there. The staff is friendly and the room size is good. The breakfast was pretty basic, but not bad.

United StatesWell, at night while I was already in bed I could smell some cigarette smoke coming from "somewhere" but I couldn't really figure where it was coming from. It happened twice around 11 pm.
The breakfast buffet is everything you expect from a continental breakfast with the plus that the products are fresh and the best you can imagine in "Italian style".
