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...).

Attilio was a very friendly and helpful host. The place was clean and had everything we could possibly need for our stay. The bed was very comfortable and the bathroom was large and modern. The 2 air conditioners (in the bedroom and living area) were also very welcome during the hot summer nights. The location just a few minutes from the bus stop and ferry dock was very convenient and it was an easy 5-10 minute walk to the main waterfront area. Overall would highly recommend.

AustraliaWe really enjoyed our stay in this lovely little apartment. It was well equipped with everything we needed and in a fantastic location — just a short walk to the lake, ferry, and restaurants. A great base for exploring beautiful Varenna and the surrounding area. Would definitely stay here again!

United StatesOne major issue is that the hot water is barely enough for 1 person to take a shower. Even after waiting 15+ minutes, water was just Luke warm for next person. We had 3 in our group and the third was just waiting until evening or next day to shower. Another minor issue with sink water draining very slowly.
Nice place at a very good location. 2 mins walk from station, few mins walk to ferry and about 10 mins from the center. Very convenient location. Host was very helpful and friendly.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this Lake Como rental! The location couldn’t have been better — just a short and pleasant walk from the train station, ferry terminal, Villa Monastero, and Villa Cipressi. Everything we wanted to explore was right at our doorstep. We spent the day strolling through the charming streets, visiting the beautiful lakeside villas and gardens, and enjoying delicious meals at lakefront restaurants. The views were breathtaking everywhere we turned, and the convenience of being able to walk to everything made the experience even more enjoyable. The rental itself was clean, comfortable, and well-equipped, making it a perfect home base. Whether you’re here for a romantic getaway or a relaxing day of sightseeing, this place is an ideal choice. Highly recommend for anyone visiting Lake Como!

It was up to date and immaculately clean. The host, Attilio, had a bottle of bubbles waiting on the table for us and he was most welcoming and helpful. Everything worked properly and it was close to the station, lake, ferry terminal and restaurants.

Australia- tv old not equipped with streaming, 3 English channels (20,21,22) - Plugs near bed aren’t great for travellers as the plugs turn the lights on/off but there are a few that are. - one of the air conditioners malfunctioned which is getting fixed after our stay. We had to keep towels down as it was dripping condensation. Luckily they provide many towels. It didn’t bother us as there was another aircon, and it does freshen up at night!
- Clean, cool, equipped, spacious - Private terrace with sun beds, table, outdoor shower - Comfy bed, pillows and a doona! - Friendly, responsive and informative host - complimentary bottle of Prosecco and water on arrival! - location is a quick walk into town, very quiet!

CanadaWe should have stayed there for longer than two days. We really did not want to leave!
I wanted to wait until I was home from my vacation to fully give my attention to the review of Varenna Sweet Home. Of all the places we stayed in this was our favourite. Atila picked us up from the train station and walked us the short distance back to the suite. Atila paid attention to all the details to make our trip special. There was a binder of information for us to utilize, wash machine and dishwasher pods for us to use as well the kitchen and bathroom were very well equipt. The pullout couch in the living room was just as comfortable to sleep on as the queen-size bed in the bedroom. We were so comfortable!! What we loved the most was the large patio area. We had a table to sit and eat at, lounge chairs, and room to hang out our laundry on the line. It was such a lovely sanctuary and we are so very grateful we stayed at this suite. Thank you, Atila! PS: thank you for the proscecco, too!
