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.).

United StatesAccess to town by foot.
Absolutely gorgeous view from the room. They overlook the islands off in the middle of the lake. The rim road at the bottom is not for the faint of heart. No shoulder and LOTS of fast driving cars. A bit of a walk (15 minutes of stress) to the main part of town. We taxied back.

Germanyit was a bit too loud, since the rooms are separated only by a door, so you can hear the other visitors... the bed mattress was uncomfortable (v soft, sinking in feeling) the place is high up on a hill, so no amenities close by, you have to drive down by car for 5-10 min
view was really beautiful, since you can see the lake and all the islands, the place has a beautiful garden. The apartment was very spacious.

United StatesReally the only downside to Villa Maria is that it is a bit out of town and up a fairly steep hill. We walked to the boat dock to go to Isola Bella, but some people might not be comfortable with that.
Our apartment at Villa Maria was beautiful. Unfortunately, we only had one night, but we could easily have stayed for a week given the size and comfort of the apartment. The apartment is above the lake, and the view was amazing.

United KingdomI loved everything.
The view was absolutely spectacular. It's actually why I booked Villa Maria, but the room was excellent too. Clean, comfortable, daily visits from the cleaner, who supplied an ironing board and iron when asked. Breakfast snacks and coffee topped up daily too. The owner also came to chat, and was very friendly.

United KingdomTricky to find, up a steep narrow road the location of which is not obvious. A bit of a way out of Stresa so really a car ride to a restaurant.
High quality spacious accommodation up above Maggiore. Great views. Short car ride to ferry from Carciano taking you to all destinations on the Lake. Would return.

AustraliaWe didn't have a car so the walk up the hill was difficult, but don't let this stop you, it is so worth it once you get there. Breakfast was prepackaged croissant and pre-toasted bread, but Stresa has some amazing patisseries and restaurants.
Just on the fringe of Stresa a beautiful property on top of the hill, that has an amazing view of Lake Maggiore and the 3 islands. The room and bathroom was very spacious. Includes a couch and inside dining table and table and chairs to sit outside. Would highly recommend staying here.
