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):
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.
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.).

Lovely family run B&B. Very friendly and welcoming hosts. We had a room with a balcony this time which was great and had a view of the lake. This was our second visit on our way to Italy and I hope we'll do it again. Breakfast was very good too.

DenmarkThis gem of a hotel is located just south of Lugano in Melide, close to the highway. Very convenient and perfect for travelers with car. Excellent service and really friendly staff. It is just a few steps from the refreshing waters of Lake Lugano and in the vicinity are some great choises for dining as well. Hearty and healthy breakfast. Very clean. Also they serve (possibly) the best Swiss beer there.

LuxembourgBathroom was a bit tight for 3 people. While everything was very clean, an upgrade of the facilities could be of advection to make this B&B even more attractive.
Mostly the attention we received by the owners and the possibility to park our car safely in front of of the B&B, as it was packed with luggage etc.

Great size room, first floor was the lowest, but easy staircase for hubby. Pet friendly, fabulous breakfast. We also stayed here in April on route to Brindisi, so we knew how lovely and traditional this bed and breakfast is. Great terrace for a beer before walking to the lake which is absolutely stunning. Super hosts. Lovely meal at Ristorante Giardino, only a few minutes walk away, dog friendly with an outside terrace as well. Take your Swiss adaptor and European Blue parking disc for the Blue Zone parking, just in case - was invaluable.

NetherlandsThe wifi sign in my room was not good. But I think they can fix that soon.
The hosts were fantastic and I got a big room with a big and comfortable bed. Dogs are allowed. The area around is nice for a walk along the lake. Parking was provided. Breakfast was decent. Again, the hosts were super nice. I would love to stay there again to explore more the area with the family. There are nice facilities for the kids in the lake. Nice playground and dogs can access the lake (always on leash).

Israelno complaints - really a very nice place to stay. We enjoyed staying here.
The location seems like a very well-run family business. We were received kindly and very efficiently by the gentleman running the place. we filled out a paper reception form - which I haven't seen I think in years. The location's allocated parking for guests seems like an improvised niche in the sidewalk - still it totally fills the need. The B&B's location is a few meters from the lake-shore. Really ideal for enjoying a walk along the lake. It's also a few steps from a lovely restaurant serving really good food - where we had a great dinner. The next day's breakfast buffet was rich and plentiful. When the staff serving us noticed that my spouse chose not to eat (not because of anything that was served - for personal dietary reasons only), the same person upon checkout insisted that we pay only for one breakfast instead of two since only one of us actually ate. This was really quite generous of her - considering our reservation was for two people in a room including breakfast.
