Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 KingdomOur shower was a bit small. Sometimes lost water pressure in the shower so had to wait with full head of shampoo! Breakfast wasn’t great
The location is perfect. Links to trains and ferries, both 5 minute walk. The rooms are functional and kept clean. Our children had a triple room. They had a large bathroom with a view of the lake.

The location was excellent. Easy walking distance from the train station. The check-in clerk was very sweet and friendly. He helped us with our luggage and showed us to the room. Would definitely stay here again and a great value for the price.

Thailand- Our room is too small to accommodate 1 queen bed and 1 extra bed. The length of the beds almost fit to the length of the room. My friend who took the inner bed can not walk through to the door easily. The room and furniture are not quite clean. - No parking space at the property
The property location is near to ferry dock and train station. Decent choices of foods and drinks for breakfast

The location was very close to the train and ferry, which made traveling around the lake very easy. It is a stones through away from the busy "centre" where we saw a Queen tribute show.

United KingdomNo real complaints, for the price we thought the room was good.
We were based in the nearby partner hotel Beretta not Montecodeno which was easy to get to by train, a short walk from Varenna train station. We had the family room which was a good size with a balcony and close to the lake, and although basic it was fine for us. Good breakfast. Although it is over a bar, the bar wasn't open late so no noise at night, apart from Saturday night when there was some music late from an adjacent property.

United KingdomBreakfast was cold or empty. we arrived at 9.30 the first day and at 9am the second day and both times the buffet was empty. This did not however ruin our stay as we went out for breakfast. The room was at an affordable price and we only stayed 2 nights so the fact it was basic was not a problem.
Location was great, short walk to ferry & train station.Basic but Clean

LithuaniaI came here for work, all what I wanted was a cosy bed and nice breakfast. here are some points about this stay: - i asked for a cup of hot water to make my own tea outside the breakfast hours and I was told to go to a cafe instead - all three mornings the hot breakfast was late, in one of then the whole breakfast was late, I almost missed my train - the noise on that street is too loud during the night, you can hear every car passing by - the bed keeps shifting all the time if your pillow is to the wall. the bed is not attached and is very light so you cannot sit in it and work or watch a movie if your back is pressing the wall - the bed start shifting away.
very close to ferry and train station, breakfast is good (when it comes on time, not in my case). the two things that I liked the most: - the staff is very friendly, especially the man in charge if things and the young boy in the reception - the internet is very good which is unusual for Varenna.

FinlandI didn’t like the bathroom at all. It took forever to dry and towels/swimwear I kept there also stayed wet. Bed and the pillow are not the most comfortable. Room is okay, but for 3 stars I expect more.
Location is great. Easy access to harbor for ferries to visit other coasts. All tourist attractions at Varenna are close to hotel. Reception service was good and they took luggage to safe before check in. Room also has safety locker and the door to apartments stays locked all time so it feels safe. Air conditioner included. Breakfast included (although a bit basic). Pets are allowed.

United KingdomNothing really - maybe it’s time to move away from tiny bottles of shampoo etc and although there was fresh fruit at breakfast, ideally I would have liked a fruit salad or some prepared fruit if possible.
A very acceptable affordable hotel in a handy location for the station and the waterfront and ferry. The staff were lovely and gave us a quiet room because I was worried about noise. When we were there it was very peaceful with no street noise. The hotel was sparkling clean, the bed was comfortable and breakfast was good.
