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 an almost perfect stay. All staff were exceptional! Food was exceptionally good of a high standard. People came from far and wide to eat here on the spacious terrace with views over Lake Garda. Great service! Located a pleasant 20 minute walk along the Lake to Bardolino. Perfect for picking up the ferry to visit other towns on Lake Garda.
The lack of privacy in the bedroom. Having the shower and wash basin inside the small bedroom was not good. Only the toilet and bidet were in a tiny separate room. One double bed. The small third bed was uncomfortable. The pillows were hard. Not cotton sheets. Lack of surfaces to put on basic necessities such as toiletries and makeup. Quite cramped for a Superior Triple for three adults. For a grandmother, daughter and teen granddaughter it just about worked.

Verified reviewGreat location on eastern shore of Lake Garda, convenient car park on site and handy to bus stops. A warm welcome on arrival and the staff throughout were always helpful and friendly. We had two rooms: a double with terrace overlooking Lake Garda and a triple with balcony with views of the lake also. The beds were comfortable with extra pillows and the air-con was great, the terrace was lovely to relax on and watch the sunset. Room service each day was of a good standard. We had breakfast in the hotel each day and it provided a good typical continental style spread with fruit, cereal, breads, salad, eggs (scrambled or hard boiled) cooked meat, bread and pastries with fresh juice and hot drinks. We ate in the restaurant L’Unico 3 times during our stay and were highly impressed with the service, quality of the food and drinks definitely worth a visit. All in all we enjoyed our stay and would definitely return here if we were in the area again. The pool and surrounding green areas had a good mix of shaded areas and more exposed for those who enjoy sunbathing and a great place to cool down in the late afternoon and enjoy a drink from the bar.
The only minor thing would be the bathrooms in both rooms were a little tired and could do with updating, though were very clean and perfectly usable.

Verified reviewEverything - our 3rd stay here. Breakfast is first class. The rooms are spacious with great AC, comfortable bed and a small fridge for waters etc. The restaurant on the ground floor is probably our favourite in Bardolino and is very well priced. Location to the town is great - 10min walk or so.
The only issue is if you have a car hired and you leave during the day, you will struggle to get parked again in the evening due to the restaurant’s popularity.

Verified reviewGreat food at breakfast, very helpful staff to coordinate taxis, free bike loans, they even packed us a to-go breakfast when we had to check out at 5:30AM!
The AC in the room was a little bit temperamental - it cooled down the room but was difficult to maintain a constant temp so we kept blankets nearby when we slept.

Bathrooms are very small. Pillows are very thin and there is a distinct lack of plug sockets.

Verified reviewOverall excellent the quirkiness of the decor added to the experience always finding something new in the hotel, breakfast was good with a wide range of choices and a good range of times from 7am - 10.30. Restaurant was popular with locals and tourists alike and although always busy we were found a table quickly on the 2 occasions we dined there
Nothing really to dislike location was great, pool was clean and with a good amount of sun loungers staff friendly and efficient throughout the property

Verified reviewLovely room and balcony with perfect view of the lake. Staff were helpful and friendly% Dominik in particular helped us out with bus and taxi arrangements. Pool and bar area was great. No towels on loungers, all very relaxing.
The pillows were not comfortable at all. That's the only single negative I can think of. I asked cleaner for another of the small blue cushions that were on the bed and she got me one and then slept better.

Verified reviewGreat accommodation in a fabulous location. 2 mins from the lake side & very accessible to all routes, bus stop within 100ms. Bikes are a great commodity, could cycle for miles along the lakeside. Hotel is very chic and clean. Pool is ideal. Had a lovely balcony & the restaurant was amazing. Air-conditioning in the room was fabulous. Curtains kept the sunlight out so you could have a good night's sleep!
Wasn't made aware over requirement to keep pool towels for the week & the cleaning staff took them daily from the room. So when requested a new set of pool towels, one lady at reception wasn't overly welcoming to give us more. However rest of the staff were very helpful and welcoming.
