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 reviewI liked the house and surroundings. Beautiful flowers. Spacious and green. I liked that it was a kitchen there with everything I needed. Simple but clean, i liked it. Nice tables outside everywhere. Zee, one of the stuff was very kind and supportive, i arrived quite late, and checked out quite early so he gave me croissant that I wouldn't get due to my early check out, so I had a lovely very early breakfast with it . I stayed four nights though. Nice people. Bed was comfy and clean. Good lights by the bed as well. Good to have eyes folds, sometimes other people come late. But otherwise, so its better to have it. Even though it was true for me one night, the rest of the time it was very quiet and peaceful. it varies I guess. But the lights quite bright, which is good if you want to read. The design was nice in bathroom main room. Very cute silver walls. Spacious storage.
I am very easy person. I used to live in rural areas so i am enjoying some imperfections. It was some problem with draining in one of the showers. It is not all brand new looking, but it didn't bother me, i liked that it was just authentically natural was adding up to the experience rather than taking out. I had suitcase and i was not allowed very much of lifting. I needed to lift it as i walked to the house as it was lovely stones around for the decoration purpose, it was difficult to roll it on the ground so i had to lift. otherwise i liked the pebbles, but maybe it would have being nice to have a small path for rolling my suitcase. And I wanted to have a special cloth for washing a pan, as it stuck a bit too hard, so it took time and didn't clean perfectly. Maybe I didn't notice that laying around somewhere.

Verified reviewBed, bedsheets, towel. Como!
Honestly, I've never seen such a list of fines at the front desk. Fines were posted for everything. It was like a high-security hostel) It is not clear how these fines would be applied if after check-out and before no one goes to see if everything is in order. There were too many beds in the women's room. The staff didn't speak Italian at all. It would be better if they did not write about breakfast and did not offer it at all. Breakfast is a disgrace! A drink and an empty croissant The kitchen was incredibly dirty and all the dishes were very dirty, impossible to cook. The shower was strange, old renovation in my opinion.

Verified reviewIt was clean, quiet and safe. I stayed in the female bedroom. Everything was great. People friendly. Lockers were big, bed clean, bedroom quiet. I had a problem with my phone charger and staff were very helpful and sorted it for me very quickly. Location is great, an easy 10-15 min walk from Como along the beautiful lake side walkway. There is a supermarket about 5 min walk away.
The light in one of the showers didn’t work, but was being fixed. Everything was great.

Verified reviewGreat location, very friendly and helpful staff, great value for its relatively low price, good clean bathrooms with enough showers and toilets for all guests
I didn't have the most considerate co-guests in the dormitory during my stay, and the room doesn't get very dark during the night

Verified reviewThe property looks pretty good from the outside. Unfortunately, I have nothing to like about the place but the location is reasonably good.
The facilities are poor, one of the shower trays is blocked, the sensor lights in the bathroom are ridiculously short or have poor detection, and my locker inside the room is broken. Don't feel safe in the room as nobody bothers to lock up the door. The breakfast is included in the price but there is only one croissant and one coffee each from 9am.

Verified reviewThe place is really nice, in a great position, with nice and large rooms with bathrooms. The building is nice, with a garden around, which should be maintained in a better way.
The hostel has a lot of potential but it should be managed in a better way: every extra is very expensive (car park 25€ per day, bike park 10€ per day), there aren't organized activities, the staff isn't friendly and doesn't speak Italian. The kitchen is not equipped well and it should be kept better. The garden behind could be rearranged and used for activities or enjoy the stay or just rest.
