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 apartment is very clean, cozy, spacious, with everything that is needed for living: bed linen, extra blankets, shower gel, shampoo, towels, hair dryer, dishes, coffee, tea. The flat is very cozy with beautiful interior, everything is chosen with taste. The tiles on the floor captivated us with its beauty. Very comfortable beds. There is a spacious balcony with a wonderful view to the lake and mountains. The apartment is located very close to the lake shore and the beach. Also it is very close to the train station. There is a shop at the same building that is very comfortable, although it might be a little noisy in the morning.

Verified reviewIt feels like staying in a home rather than short stay apartment. Francesco is very welcoming, and it is so well furnished and equipped. The location with its view to the lake and in a pedestrian street is great. Food shopping right by. And - Bellano is a lovely place to stay rather than chic crowded Varenna, which you get to easily by ferry or train.

Verified reviewFrancesco is an excellent host - communication and check in/out - location is good and the appartement is quite large and well equipped.
Doors and flushing the toilet flushing make a lot of noise so be prepared to be woken up at night when travel compagnons need to go at night 😅

Verified reviewVery spacious with lots of equipment and in a great location for accessing the centre - the lake and close to the station. The bathroom was superb and included a washing machine though we did not use this. The kitchen was very useful although no oven and we appreciated the items left for us. The host was there to meet us and was very helpful. It was very quiet to sleep yet next door was a supermarket and across the street was a little bakery - both of these shut on a Sunday .

Verified reviewEverything was so perfectly clean, the apparent itself is amazing. The view on the street and lake from the terrace is nice and it perfectly suits for branches on a sunny day. The host is amazing, he was very friendly, explained everything we need to know about the appartment, made us a wellcome coffee and gave good advice on the sights of the lake. He also allowed us to stay longer on the last day for free, thank you do much! We would definitely come back!! The location is very convenient, close to the train station and to the lake waterfront and no hill to climb! The shop is just on the neighbouring building.
The only problem is heating in the midseason, but its common in Italy and Spain. We survived))

Verified reviewVery spacious accommodation arranged in a simple style, good taste, supports all guests' need for convenient living. It is an ideal location, safe in peaceful area, walk on a mostly flat road only 350 m from train station, few steps to watch mountains and lake Como, 600 m on a beautiful waterfront walkway to the Bellano ferry and downtown. At 20:30 pm, very late for checking in, Francesca and his son waited to welcome us at the building's front door and provided friendly brief orientation for our stay. But, their generosity and hospitality were reallised long before, such as ; request for storing our luggage before check-in time was approved, his early warning of traffic delays, prompt notification to avoid problems and many good advices for our travel plan, and also, infomation of the guaranteed trains. Sorry for spending his time too much during the day of strike, which he kept communicate with us. Our desire to stay at this exceptional apartment is fulfilled. Thank you for everything they had done for us.

Verified reviewThe apartment and the location are great, we really enjoyed staing and the view on the lake and mountains 50 meters from the door were unforgettable.
The text communication was pretty slow at first, thus a few times I thought we won't get settled, but then we met and the host Roberto turned out to be a very kind, hospitable and great person!

No freezer in the apartment which would have been nice in order to have ice in the heat. There wasn't really anything else to not like about the apartment.

Verified reviewExcellent Location! Many tourist attractions, water taxi and train station at walking distance, Conveniently placed supermarket below the apartment. Clean and nice apartment with all facilities at our disposal. Host was a pleasant chap.
Bad Lights and above all no aircon. The ceiling fan was hardly running at any speed and pedestal fan could not cope with the August heat. We all had to sleep in one room as we have to make do with the one lame pedestal fan.
