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 apartment itself is very cozy and the kitchen is well equipped appliances wise except for the lack of an oven. It’s in a very charming town. WiFi works well
The window on the ceiling does let a lot of light in the morning but it didn’t bother us too much. There was only one roll of toilet paper which was almost finished. Be weary of narrow streets around the apartment and if you’re lucky you’ll find a parking spot on the street otherwise there is a parking lot not too far away. Also I don’t know if this was a one off thing but at around 5 in the morning we heard what sounded like a glass container being emptied only it lasted for around 5 minutes? It was a very odd thing it seemed like 20 containers worth of glass.

Verified reviewGreat location, with everything you might need nearby. The hosts are friendly – we didn’t meet in person, but they responded politely to our messages. The price for the apartment is reasonable.
A few things that were unexpected: there are pots but no frying pans, no kitchen towel or paper towels, and the mattresses and pillows were yellow – which was unpleasant and definitely needs to be addressed. There was also no coffee or tea provided. You won’t find even basic items like sugar or salt, which are usually standard in most apartments. One of the steps is loose and should be fixed as soon as possible before an accident happens.

Verified reviewThe setup itself is appropriate and clean.
According to guests, the air conditioning in the accommodation has not been working since July 2024, and it still isn’t functioning. Given that the bed is located under the roof, it is unbearable to sleep — the temperature at night reached 35°C. This is unacceptable. The accommodation is not suitable for hot summer days.

Verified reviewWe were happy enough with the initial contact BUT.........then we entered the apartment and realised it was NOT prepared for us
We arrived at 1.15 and left at 1.20 and never went back. The owner agreed for us to go but will not refund the money even though we didn't stay and had good reasons not to stay. Our reasons are....... There was poo left in the toilet. The slept in beds hadn't been made. The rubbish was still in the bins. There was no key for the garage. We contacted the owner and they said the cleaner was running late. We had arranged with them to arrive between 12-1 pm....They should not make these arrangements if they cannot stick to them. Also, the apartment is impossible to find and you cannot use the garage to park in unless you have a tiny SMART car.

Verified reviewGreat location, walking distance to town, shops and restaurants. driving distance to the lake. Facilities were very clean and fresh.
The air conditioning was not working properly and was more like a weak fan instead of cold air. Also the parking was a game of chance that you would get a space in the public car park.

Verified reviewHomely place in a quiet area.
Although the place had a nice homely feel, it was a bit too cluttered with decoration which made it hard to find space to put anything down. I didn't get an invoice which my company requires for expense reimbursement :(

Verified reviewNice appartment in a small town near Lago d'Orta and Lago Maggiore. Perfect for a stay when visiting the lakes or being busy all day. Very good bed and pillow. Went to eat in local Restaurant Barcaccia, typical Italian. Busy, but good food and drinks for reasonable price.
Kitchen is suitable to make a meal, but not very well equiped (no cutting knife/ other sharp knife). Difficult to approach by car, better park the car near the church (approx. 150 meters)

Verified reviewThe style and the location was really nice. The comforts were all good and the accomodation was clean.
The bathroom! The showerscreen was broken, the toilet seat was loose and a little rotten. And the smell in the bathroom was terrible. Even with the open window or spraying deodorant, nothing removed the smell.
