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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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.).

I wish the rooms had a balcony, but this was not an issue.
The hotel was exactly what we needed, it ticked all the boxes, very good location, nice breakfast, modern renovated room, especially the bathroom. For me, the breakfast is all about the coffee, and here the coffee was one of the best I ever had, I know this is about everybody's taste, but for me it was perfect. Steps away from the pedestrian area and the boat station, if you want to explore the lake by boat, which is a very nice experience.

The room itself felt a little dated, and the toilet made a strange whirring noise you could hear through the wall for a long time after flushing, but nothing about it was particularly disruptive and these are minor complaints for the cost.
A very nice hotel for the value (68 euro for a queen bed). The lobby and shared spaces looked very modern and the staff were very helpful with my last-minute decision making. The location is only a few blocks from the main street but its about a 20 minute trek uphill to the train station (granted the whole main town is).

Breakfast had a very good selection to suit all tastes. The hotel reception was great and they even upgraded our room as it was our anniversary. The rooms were throughly cleaned daily to a high standard and the air conditioning was a bonus as it was so warm. The location is fantastic for Lake Garda. I would definitely recommend this hotel.

The hotel is up a bit of a backroad and on a hill. The walk to/from the train station is not so far but also on a hill. Not a problem at all for most, however might be more challenging with a lot of luggage or mobility issues.
The hotel was clean and well maintained, with helpful and friendly staff. Breakfast was fresh and tasty with a reasonable selection. The location is only a short walk to the town centre.

The bedrooms are on the small side and can be hard to walk around the beds. Very few hangers in wardrobe, we were staying 6 nights and wanted to unpack. Only small issues that wouldn’t put me off returning.
Excellent location only a few minutes walk from restaurants and the lake. Only a ten minute walk to the train station, up hill! Clean and comfortable rooms. Great choice for breakfast.
