Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 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 KingdomThere was nothing really to dislike.... only fault was the room fridge didnt work but wasnt a big deal.....its a beautiful well run hotel.
Probably one of the best stays in a hotel weve had. Staff are exceptionally helpful. Owner was very nice.beautifully presented hotel. Back garden area with heated pool was stunning. Front garden had large pool. Roof had jacuzzi. Beautiful interior design throughout. We had a room with panoramic terrace which was great. Breakfast was very nice. 2 mins walk into town. Very hard to fault and we will certainly be back at this hotel and area.

GermanyBeautiful hotel, with good facilities and very friendly and helpful staff! Situated just outside of the city centre, but within walking distance of it, and still close to restaurants and the lake. Although close to a main road, this was not very noticeable as the hotel is very peaceful and quiet.

I was lucky to spent three nights in the Piccola Vela hotel in the beginning of May. It was an expierence of a lifetime :) Perfect combination of luxury and guests friendly staff. Every single person was super nice and genuinely ready to make sure each guest is comfortable. They're also multilingual ( one of the front desk clerks was even speaking Polish). Two pools, two gardens, jacuzzi on the rooftop - make sure to reserve some time to enjoy the attractions provided by the hotel itself. Breakfast by the pool is marvellous and the best meals I had in Desenzano were the ones at the hotel (lunches and a delicious dinner at the Capovento restaurant). As for the location: walking distance to the port area, yet much quieter and calmer. You can enjoy birds singing in the gardens, instead of the hens- and stag-dos in the town center ;) My stay at the Piccola Vela was an 11 out of 10 experience, highly recommended 👌

United KingdomMaybe a bigger breakfast menu and more cold options. Rooms need to be handed out based on price paid, as other members had bigger rooms with lower prices paid.
The staff were extremely polite and attentive, especially Davide & Paulo. Service was also exceptional and I couldn’t fault it one bit. On arrival, it was my GF’s birthday but we never mentioned anything, we left our suitcases and went for a walk as our room wasn’t ready yet (we arrived very early). Upon return, we found a happy Birthday note from the hotel and free drinks at the bar. Which was honestly great service. The hotel has 2 pools, one heated in their back garden which is lovely and another unheated, at the front of the hotel which is refreshing. They also have a lovely rooftop with an amazing view of the full lake along with a Jacuzzi you can book for free up to late hours. Their breakfast is ok, personally I would like more options both cold & hot but that’s because I like to try different foods. Their lunch & dinner menu is delicious and they definitely know what they’re doing, would 100% recommend to try it. Room wise (we took basic option) - Bathroom is very modern & clean with i’d say decent space. They’ll have everything you need apart from an iron (they do have a dry cleaning service). The room itself is nothing to rave about personally, I would expect more space and maybe more modern furniture for the price I paid and maybe a bigger balcony. I’m not sure how their pricing works because we attended with a massive wedding party (around 25-30 rooms booked out). I visited a couple rooms who paid less than what we did by around €200-€300 and their rooms were a lot bigger and had extras we didn’t, so a bit disappointing there. Overall, I would give it a 4/5.

United KingdomCould make some minor improvements such as mirror and better lighting in the bedroom for ladies to get ready and wardrobe did not accommodate hanging for long clothes such as dresses
Family run and boutique feel. Brilliantly attentive and friendly staff couldn’t do enough for you. If the kitchen was closed they would still rustle up something delicious for you. We were hear as a wedding party and they put on a fantastic evening for us. Highly recommend staying here if you are visiting Desenzano
