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 reviewWe had a wonderful stay at Claudia’s guesthouse! The house itself is beautiful, our room was spacious, very clean, and the bed was extremely comfortable. Claudia gave us such a warm welcome and was incredibly kind to our dog, which made us feel right at home. Even though breakfast was not included, she thoughtfully prepared some treats for us every morning – such a lovely gesture. We truly enjoyed our three days here and can highly recommend it to anyone. Thank you so much, Claudia!

Verified reviewEverything was so well fixed up until the details. Loved the old building, but also that every facility was very modern. Think about a good bed, an airconditioning, a good bathroom, etc. There was even a fridge and a water kettle in the room. Exceptional was also the lovely hostess and the way she mentioned there was no real breakfast, weather in fact, there was. The surprised us with home-made vegan cake and vegan croissants. Finally, the village of Gravedona is very pittoreske and the accommodation is very centrally located in an area with cute alleys. 10/10 would recommend staying here!
Nothing.

Verified reviewSecond time staying here. A beautiful property in a cool old building in a great location with welcoming and helpful hosts (and a cute dog who stops by sometimes). A short walk from the center of town, the ferry terminal, and several restaurants. Can’t recommend it enough, hope to come back again soon.
Nothing, it’s great.

Verified reviewThis was a charming place and the hosts were exceptionally gracious. It was a great place to get a sense of Gravedona, a lovely small Italian community on lake Como.
We wished that we stayed longer.

Verified reviewA wonderful experience! The hostess is incredibly kind and helpful, and both she and her partner have a truly beautiful attitude toward animals, which we really appreciated. Although breakfast isn’t officially included, in reality, everything you might need in the morning is there – water, fruit, coffee, pastries, jams, sweet treats, and the hostess even offered us yogurt. The accommodation is part of a historic castle, which gives the whole stay a unique and special atmosphere. Just a short walk away, there’s a beautiful viewpoint overlooking the countryside. The town itself is small, but feels like it’s just on the verge of being discovered – peaceful for now, with a lovely and welcoming charm. We truly felt at home here. The owners' approach deserves applause. Everything was spotless and thoughtfully detailed. We’re rooting for the owners – and for those still hesitating: don’t. It’s absolutely worth it!

Verified reviewA super experience! The host of the guesthouse is extremely friendly and helpful in everything, the location is simply perfect, right in the middle of the historic center of Gravedona and only a few steps from the lakefront. Comfortable beds and bed linen, and great extra’s such as free (good!) coffee, water and small snacks. Highly recommended all in all!

Verified reviewExcellent location, a minute from the lakeside promenade and a few minutes walk to the ferry stop, bus stop, shop and restaurants. Claudia makes guests feel very welcome and has drinks and snacks available. The AC is great, the bed was comfy and the shower was hot and powerful. Couldn't have asked for more for the price, which was very reasonable for Lake Como. We would definitely stay again.

Verified reviewGreat Host, extremely detail oriented and sharing tons of information. We had a great time chit chatting with her. Very unique accomodation in a restored house built a few centuries ago, but with all the modern amenities you would need (A/C, TV, Wine Cooler...). There is even a fresco inside to admire. Great and surprisingly quiet location, one minute from the lake and from a few good restaurants.
Nothing to add here.
