Each 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. 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. 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.
Guidelines and Standards for Reviews
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...).

The apartment was lovely and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Brunate itself is a mountain village with lovely views of the lake and about a 15 minute drive up the mountain from Como. It is a quiet community but there are cafes and restaurants to explore. The funicular was not in operation during our stay, which was a disappointment, but we hired a car so we were able to get around.

No self check in option. A bit chilly in September inside the appartment due to italian heating legislation and lack of carpets on the floor.
The appartment is large, clean and cozy. The owners were friendly and helped us with great suggestions for our trip. The views from Brunate are breathtaking. Also, the access via Funicolare is great.

Without a car, you need to use the funiculare to get to Como and back. Cable car is very popular at times due to the beautiful scenery and you may have to queue for long to get on the transport.
Clean, spacious, well equipped, unique location. Funiculare trip up to Brunate is very scenic. It’s nice to have coffee and tea available. Kitchen also has spices etc to use.

Spectacular location high above Como reached by a spectacularly twisty and sometimes narrow road. Good, secure parking spot provided by the owner.
Very good communication with friendly hosts who met us to show us the property. Location was perfect for us because we loved Brunate when we visited Como before. Very close to the funicular yet still very private and away from the crowd. Extremely well-equipped apartment - a pleasure to spend time in.

We couldn’t imagine a better place to stay during our trip to Como Lake. The apartament was absolutely perfect. Really good location, close to funicolare station and viewpoints, apartament got even more than we needed and was really cozy and super clean. The hosts were helpful, waited for us on the day of arrival and explained how to get to Como, to the shops and restaurants. We wish we could stay here longer and definitely recommend!

This is not about the apartment but a little tip for staying in Brunate for a few days. If you plan on taking the Funicolare to and from Brunate I would recommend buying a few round trip tickets at a time. The lines for tickets can get really long so buying multiple will save some time.
Great location, really friendly and helpful staff, the apartment was super clean.

We really liked how spaceoius the apartment was and how everything was well thought through. The host was super friendly, accommodating, and generous. The proximity to the Funicolare was incredible. Just a couple steps. Amazing view of the church and lighthouse through the balcony. Everything seemed new and clean. Great number of windows are all open allowing for excellent circulation. The low beds for children were also very convenient. there were also a number of board games that we enjoyed with the children. we really appreciated the snacks and coffee selection. excellent quality sheets and comfortable beds.Roomy shower. really nice to have a washing machine. The area of course, was also amazing and one-of-a-kind. we were super pleased to have chosen this location.
