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 reviewThe location was great, 10-15 mins walk down to the lakeshore and also in walking distance to some nearby restaurants and shops. The breakfast was very rich in options. Parking available onsite, but based on the time of arrival it might be full, however the staff allowed us to park in the garage next door the last night when we didn't find a parking.
The bed wasn't too comfortable and a bit outdated than what I would expect at a 4* hotel. Also the walls seem to be pretty thin so you can occasionally hear the guests from the neighboring room.

Everything's fine

Verified reviewThe hotel looks 500 times better in the photos than in reality. The pools are extremely cold — it’s impossible to swim. We expected much more, but in terms of accommodation quality, this is definitely not a 4-star hotel.

Verified reviewRooms were clean, stuff was nice, lake was nearby (but full of ppl from the camp ofc)
- Limited parking spots - if you arrive too soon/too late, you have to leave your car in hotel garage which is 10€ a day! (We were lucky enough to avoid this) - Outside of hotel looks very nice, even lobby, but everything else? Old and cheap. - Rooms have no double beds, you get two singles put together with “very comfortable” gap between them, so it is impossible to sleep next to your partner. Mattress was old and uncomfortable and my back started hurting after first two nights. Pillow was super hard and also uncomfy. Furniture was just old and looked a lot used in general. No toiletries provided apart from body wash (no shampoo, no conditioner, no spare toothbrush, no nothing), no pen, no piece of paper to write on. Thin walls, so you hear everything from your neighbors. - Breakfast had very 2005 vibe, very boring and not tasty at all. Pastries tasted like they are just refrozen. Coffee tasted bad (in Italy?!). After one try we just skipped them and enjoyed our nice italian breakfasts outside. I’m just glad we didn’t have lunch and dinner. - Hotel just seemed crowdy at all times. I had no idea before, but there is a large camp right next to it (it seemed connected to the hotel). Two nights in a row there was very loud music (coming out of the camp I guess), playing at least until midnight. We heard it perfectly even though our room was not facing camp directly and we had closed window. It just wasn’t worth the money. It probably would, if it was half the price (we paid 708€ for 5 nights), so I wouldn’t expect nothing fancy. This was definitely not my idea of a 4 star hotel :(

Verified reviewAabsolutely nothing, we regretted coming. Total miss.
Very unfriendly and unpleasant welcome from the receptionist Olga, the lady rolls her eyes at the guests, nervously and angrily searches the reservation on the computer. Olga the guest is always right. She behaved like some old strict teacher. The pools are terrible and old. By the pool there is a restaurant with plastic chairs and tablecloths, left over from the 1990s. I wouldn't even mention how disgusting the breakfast is. The food at breakfast stinks because it is sitting outside in old refrigerators that of course don't cool. (you will see pictures of the breakfast in the photos). Traces of unwashed lipstick on the "clean" glasses. Below average clientele, they sit in the restaurant in socks, keeping their feet on the chairs. The only positive thing is that the hotel is dog friendly. The hotel is for 2 stars.
Dear Madam, thank you for your review, although we regret the tone used. We would like to point out that you had made a reservation for three people, but four of you arrived on a day when the hotel was sold out. Despite this, our manager made every effort to offer you suitable accommodation. We regret that this gesture was misunderstood. Our facility meets the standards of its category and current hygiene regulations and receives praise from international regulars. Constructive criticism is always welcome, but we feel it is our duty to defend the professionalism of our work. Best regards, Complaints Department

Verified reviewGood location and very clean rooms.
We booked a double bed room, end up sleeping in a two separated beds, even though receptionist said to us that there supposed to be a double bed room, how can a receptionist not know precisely how’s the room configuration? Breakfast was ok but nothing special.

Verified reviewIt's fine. Not great, not terrible. I think it is a solid hotel, which has what you seek. It has nice gardens, nice pathwalk on the lake-side. It is quite and has a real feeling you're in Italian old monastery. Feeling is good. Solid 7. Garden on the balcony was very lovely and very well maintained.
Breakfasts are a bit blunt, coffee is good only if you order at the bar. Rooms have a bit feeling of parish house more than a hotel. Our room was a bit cold and outdated.

We’re delighted that you appreciated the tranquil gardens and lakefront path, immersing yourself in the unique atmosphere of our historic monastery.
