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 was very impressed with cleanliness of this hotel. Everywhere: the hallways, rooms, washrooms, dining room... it was spotless and stafff was always cleaning, and vacuming and payed such attention to detail thoroughly cleaning all areas. The reception staff was welcoming and helpful especially Meta at the Baveno Simplon location was wonderful, so curteous, helpful and always attentive and smiling! Your swimming pool is excellent. very clean, well mantained, never overcrowded, towels were always available for guests even on cloudy, rainy days. And no young kids running around, screaming and splashing! I loved that!
I find daily breakfast fee at 25 Euros was too expensive, so we chose not to eat breakfast at your hotel.

Verified reviewThe outdoor area and pool are lovely, and the ‘tunnel’ to the Grand hotel is amazing! Handy to the supermarket and not far from the lake.
The toilet and hand basin are too close together and the toilet is awkward to access

Verified reviewGarden and pool area are beautiful and well kept.
We paid 75 euros for breakfast for three people and it was the worst one we have ever had in a four star hotel. We went there at 9.00 and almost everything was finished. The staff was able to refill few food items but they didn’t have any pastries and only one kind of bread left one hour before the end of the breakfast time! We complained directly to the reception and they promised to find out why they didn’t have enough food but after that we heard nothing and there was no compensation. This was our second time at this hotel but definitely the last one as the value for money equation does not work.

Verified reviewI like that i feel welcomed in this hotel - the Manager and the lady at the reception (name Francesca i guess) as well as housekeeping are so friendly. The manager recognised me as i stayed in the hotel before and gave me the feeling of a special guest although i stayed only for 1 night. She appointed us a very nice room (actually a wow-effect room) with the terrace and lake view! They do the best they can for customers. In total i recommend the hotel for its beauty, service, facilities,location and amazing view over the lake! Thank you very much for making our stay unforgettable!

Verified reviewPool area was lovely. Access to Hotel Dina indoor pool was a bonus. Gorgeous fit out throughout with lots of marble. Very well maintained. Short walk to centre of Baveno with many cafes and restaurants.
There is no kettle in the room to make tea and coffee. Parking was 25 euros which seemed expensive as it was in the hotel outside car park.

Verified reviewThe room was spacious and the bed was very comfortable.
Whilst I appreciate on site parking, I think the fee of 20 Euros per 24 hours as a hotel guest is a little overpriced.

Verified reviewSwimming pool
Outdated. No option for double beds (even if you choose such a room). They are always separate beds. No elevator to our room - very annoying. Surprised with a compulsory service fee (not the VAT nor the city tax). The hotel claims this was written everywhere - although she had nothing to say when I showed her there was absolutely no mention of this anywhere. Booking.com should be informed of this practice.

Verified reviewFriendly staff, nice bedding, great pool area.
Pool water was v cold! Breakfast was ok but not the best, bathroom was small and tired. Bar was very quiet. I wasn't impressed that a 5% service charge was added to the room bill. Please do not follow a US model, none of us like the over tipping culture.

Verified reviewThe hotel and grounds are exceptionally beautiful. The outdoor pool and gardens are a real treasure. The staff were very helpful and friendly with the children. The town of Baveno is adorable. The views of the lake and Alpine foothills are peaceful and uplifting. The weather was prima.
Nothing. This is a true gem.
