Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United Kingdom200 steps up the hill, just a hard fought battle, there is an easier way at the top of the hill by the lakes cafe going down hill and less steps, definitely need to hire a car as the bus frequency isn’t as good as first thought, and it’s atleast £50 per journey to como for a 20 minute drive.
Really loved the space, the area, great shower and great kitchen, happy that the host gave us water once we got up the hill.

United KingdomBed is small and bedding was very basic. A duvet cover as a sheet but no duvet. Didn’t have access to WiFi. Used owner’s company to hire a boat and was charged more than the website list price despite being told we were getting a discount.
Beautiful view of the lake but serenity somewhat spoiled by the building work going on directly below which woke us with drilling and hammering from 8am both mornings. Decent kitchen, good bathroom and nice little terrace.

AustraliaBedroom and bed a quite small. Only a double, which my partner and I struggled to share. Apartment interior quite old and bathroom especially reflects this. Also A LOT of stairs to get up the property.
The view from the balcony is stunning (unfortunately there was a crane obscuring it for most of the stay but still spectacular). The apartment itself is quite charming.

AustraliaExtremely small bed. Definitely doesn’t sleep 3 people. My partner and I only just fit in the main double bed, not very comfortable. Fold out couch provided but no bedding so you couldn’t use this.
Epic view! We loved the location. All facilities provided were working and nothing lacking at all in this apartment.

United KingdomOur check-in was not ideal. On the day we were travelling we received an email saying that we needed to send passport details before the check in details would be released. We did not see this until just before arrival as we were driving. The email should be sent at least a day before. We then could not get hold of the host to get the key safe code. 2 hours later we got the code and carried out luggage up the 212 steps only to find the key safe empty. By now a storm had started so both us and our luggage were getting soaked. The cleaning lady arrived after 20 more minutes. Having let us in she then had to clean the apartment. She was lovely but not an ideal start to our stay.
This apartment is in a beautiful location with a lovely balcony overlooking the lake. However, there is a 212 step climb to reach it so it is for the fit and healthy prepared to carry luggage up these. There is actually only one bedroom with a queen size bed but in general the facilities are good. There are only limited shops nearby so it is worth stopping on your way if you want some supplies. For us the views from the balcony and the peaceful position made it worth the climb. Parking is a pain, it is limited. We parked at the bottom of the funicular railway (white spaces seem to be the general public ones) but it is very limited.

Small cosy apartment. kitchen well equipped. stunning view over lake. Host offers a fee liable bag packing service.

United KingdomWhen we arrived, we were greeted by the worst flight of stairs possible. We had two babies and 4 large suitcases and my partner struggled to get them all up. It was horrific!!! The property wasn’t clean - we had to make up the sofa bed as the apartment was actually only 1 bedroom NOT two bedroom and a sofa bed living room as described and when making it up there was dead spiders on the sheets. Disgraceful!
The only good thing was the view.

Germany- Ants in almost every room, especially the bathroom - Larger mold stains in the bathroom - Sofa bed in the living room (not a separate second bed room as we understood it from the description) was not in the best shape and noisy with every move - Garbage from former visitors was still in the kitchen when we arrived - After sharing the issue with the ants and garbage with the host no apology or explanations have been offered by the host. The cleaning personal came to collect the garbage and made videos of the ants - after that we heard nothing anymore from the host, none of our messages have been answered afterwards.
- Nice location and nice balcony with view on the lake

IrelandNo complaints.
The lovely balcony and views were beautiful, day and night! We had the chance to see the full moon reflecting on the water our last night which made it an especially memorable stay. The amenities were great, plenty of coffee and shampoos, the bed was comfortable for two average people, and the host was friendly and responsive to questions.

United KingdomThe apartment is not family friendly due to the accessibility of it. There is 200+ steps up to the apartment which are uneven, steep and very dangerous going up and down. We ended up not staying at the apartment and made alternative arrangements as it wasn’t safe for the children (4&6) especially as we were going to be coming back at night in the dark. Even my dad (61) who is fit and healthy, struggled with the steps, your left feeling breathless. The apartment is listed as a 2 bedroom apartment, 2 separate bedrooms & a living room with sofa bed. The apartment is only 1 bedroom & living room with sofa bed. No bedding was left for the sofa bed. I got in contact with the host when we arrived about what we were unhappy with, we were told to use an alternative route, which we tried but was still dangerous and we couldn’t find the end of it to the road. Communication wasn’t great, tried to ring back a few times and no answer. Was told we could have a partial refund, then no contact again after this. Definitely not child friendly, and I don’t think it says anywhere that it’s not disabled friendly. View was beautiful, apartment was nice, ideal for a couple, just not a family.
