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...).

LatviaThe accommodation does not have air conditioning. The host provides air fans. The accommodation looks more spacious in the pictures. The rooms are actually smaller.
Excellent location of accommodation. Close to the ferry station, central Varenna square, restaurants and Villa Monastero. Hospitable owner of the accommodation. Easy and convenient entry into the accommodation.

New ZealandNothing at all not to like.
The position is fabulous and I loved the little balcony to sit and generally chill with a bit of a view to the lake which was just beautiful. We all loved the fact that we could duck down to the lake as it was so close. Can smell jasmine from the balcony which was really lovely. Cooking facilities were great. The complimentary bottle of bubbles was very much appreciated.

BangladeshThere was no indication the property was accessible only by foot and nearest point to drop luggage from car was a "limited access street". There is a good parking station 5 mins walk away BUT clear instructions with map references re luggage drop off and car parking are NEEDED!
Location was very good with easy access to lake shore and restaurants

AustraliaThere was no AC and the apartment was extremely hot the first two days of our stay which was difficult with young kids. Fans provided did help. However there was a freak cold snap and the bed sheets provided were not enough for the sudden cool nights. Additional bedding as spare would have been useful since locals told us the cold weather and storms often occur in Como region.
Perfect location only a few steps from the square and the water front. Enough space for our family and children with separate living area, dining table and kitchen facilities. Balcony was a nice option to enjoy morning coffee. Washing machine was great bonus.

United StatesExtremely Disappointing Experience – Avoid This Rental We rented this house for two nights, and from the moment we arrived, it was a nightmare. The property was impossible to find. There was no one to meet us or help us locate it, and when we reached out for assistance, the host was dismissive and clearly annoyed that we were even asking. They vaguely told us it was “by the church,” but there were two churches in the park, and no clear signage or directions, and the number did not match what we found; we found every single number except the one they told us. We spent over an hour searching with no clue where to park or how to access the property. No one ever came to help us in person, despite the confusion and stress. Eventually, my daughter was able to match the building using photos from the listing, but it was tucked away, not even in the plaza as advertised, and extremely hard to locate without detailed local knowledge. The lack of hospitality, poor communication, and complete absence of on-site support made this a terrible experience. We felt abandoned and frustrated. I would absolutely not recommend this place to anyone. The DIning room was not clean at all.

United StatesIf I had to guess, this property is owned/managed by a bachelor. The king sized bed has a fitted sheet and a flat sheet only. (Blanket looks like an American mattress protector, and it is stored in the closet. It took me a couple of nights to realize that it was meant to be the coverlet for the bed.) It is VERY HOT inside the apartment. (We were there mid-June.) It takes a long time for the manager to reply to messages. The lights on nearby restaurant wall do not turn off at night. And there are not blackout curtains in the bedrooms. The front door is below the neighbor’s balcony - and they water their plants which then drain down onto the landing. We got soaked one morning trying to leave the apartment!
Location is ideal for being in Varenna. The painted ceilings are lovely.

AustraliaNothing wrong with the place but you need to able to climb a lot of stairs everywhere you go. A little hard to find but I think the owners are going to add additional information on how to get there from the station.
Absolutely loved this place. It had everything you needed. The beds were super comfy and the location was set right off the town square.
