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 stayed here for 2 nights and really enjoyed my time. The host was super friendly and always available to help, which made the stay even better. The location is beautiful and very peaceful, perfect if you’re looking for some quiet time away. Everything was clean, and fresh bed sheets and towels were provided, which was a nice touch. There’s also a nearby ARCI club where you can eat, which makes it even more convenient. Overall, a lovely place to stay with a great atmosphere – I’d definitely recommend it!
The only downsides were that there are only two showers, which can be a bit inconvenient when the hostel is full, and the road to get there can feel a little dangerous if you meet another car coming from the opposite direction.

Verified reviewThere are few times where what you expect is met with what you didn't know you needed. I came cold from a hard rainfall and was greeted with so much warmth that it still lasts. What an unexpectedly pleasant place. The atmosphere made it easy and natural to connect with other people and this place has become a benchmark for how it should be.
The church clock made a lot of noise during the night when the balcony doors were open.

Verified reviewThe whole stay was wonderful!! Massimo welcomed us with a warm heart and a big smile. He gave us advice on the trails near the property, and showed us the hostel. He was always available for any question. The hostel is well maintained and it feels really cozy! The rooms and bathrooms were clean and everything is tidy. I really recommend this hostel for all who travel to hike in Parco Val Grande.

Verified reviewVery nice hostel manager (Massimo), in the middle of the Mountains.
The road to the hostel is very narrow and you need excellent driving skills and a small car. Make sure that you know how to drive backwards, you will need it.

Verified reviewMassimo, the host, was very friendly and helpful. He made us feel right at home. The location of the hostel is a dream, with hiking trails immediately outside the village. The rooms were clean and comfortable. It has a real nice mountain hut-vibe.
I would have preferred a double bed for me and my partner, but the bunk beds themselves were comfortable enough.
