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):
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.
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.).

An amazing family run hotel. Location is 10/10, room is 10/10(we had a harbour-view balcony), breakfast 10/10, staff 10/10. Cannot recommend highly enough. Our first visit to Desenzano and this hotel is within walking distance of the train station and walking distance to Lake Garda and the ferry terminal. Loads of restaurants close by.

United KingdomIf i was being picky i would mention the shower - we were in room 20, it was the smallest shower ive ever been in. Luckily we are not big people or we wouldnt have fitted in there 🤣
What a location ! Couldnt beat it. Really close to lots of beautiful restaurants - spoiled for choice. Breakfast was very good, plenty of choice, beautiful pastries, fruit, egg, meat, cheese all the usual continental breakfast choices. Rooms were comfortable and had air conditioning, minibar was good value. Worried a bit about parking but it was easy - drop luggage off and park in a multistory a short walk away, there was a charge.

NetherlandsI thought the balcony was "private", because it said so but it was separated by.. well practically nothing. Would be nice to be able to choose whether to really have a private balcony or have a shared one with just railing separating you. My neighbour literally sat beside me. The airconditioning is set to a standard 23°C, would have liked to be able to set my own preference temperature. It was fine for this temperature though, with 29°C outside I slept wonderfully!
Staff was lovely! Breakfast was good but I would have at least expected scrambled eggs for this price. But that's a personal preference and kind of nitpicky from my end ;-). Staff was lovely, breakfast was fresh and elaborate enough, location was PERFECT. Shower was great and the showergel had such a wonderful smell! I loved it :-) the minibar was nice and prices very reasonable! (Beer €3, big bottle of water €1,50) Extra breakfast fee for a guest was also really reasonable(€10), it was so nice they obliged when I had a visitor! I had a lovely time, both the man and woman at the counter are very lovely and kind. Wish I had planned to stay longer, I already miss my balcony view! Very safe location for a woman by herself. Also perfect when you come by ferry! The walk to the station is doable but be prepared to sweat when it's hot out and there are no busses (because of the market, 2 times a week. I know it's atleast on Tuesdays). Doable walk, but up hill ;-)

BrazilExcellent location, right across from Porto Vecchio and close to the boat to Sirmione. Great breakfast (I'd only suggest including more vegan options like hommus and oat milk if possible). Clean place and friendly staff.

United KingdomWe went for a dip in the lake and were told off by local police. Apparently we should have swum from the public beach - we went to look and it was very disappointing (busy, smelly and expensive sunbeds).
Lovely location by the old harbour. The staff were excellent - very helpful and friendly.

United KingdomThe shower in our room overlooking the harbour was extremely small but we put up with it because of the view from the balcony.
It is in a wonderful position overlooking the old harbour. We could park outside to load and unload our luggage and the parking was quite near and very easy to use. The staff were very friendly.

United KingdomRoom a bit small, lobby was stuffy, and no charging options by the bed.
Amazing location right on the old harbour, beautiful shared terrace and stunning view from the small private terrace, kind and friendly staff, very clean room, comfortable enough. Breakfast was ok. If it’s a hotel for a few days - it is great (in the heart of everything and very clean), maybe we stayed a bit too long which was our choice.

RomaniaNot applicable. We were really delighted with the accommodation.
Excellent location, in the most spectacular central area. Superb view from the balcony. Friendly and welcoming staff. Good breakfast. Initially I was worried about the lack of parking at the hotel, but everything had a very practical and functional solution. The fact that when arriving and departing you can stop briefly in front of the hotel to handle your luggage, without any problems and very easy. Then, even though it is a short distance to walk, access to the parking is simple and everything proved very functional, whenever we wanted to use the car.
