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.).

United StatesNo AC so it got a bit warm despite the provided fans.
The half board meal at the restaurant was superb! Room/bed was comfortable and clean. Out of the main town but easy to access by the (free) bus.

The beautiful view and attentive staff made our stay enjoyable. The bus connection made it easy to explore the area, as we parked our car and used the buses to get around.

IndiaThe one thing that surprised me was that, although the hotel’s website mentions that guests can get toothbrushes and toothpaste free of charge at the reception, we were charged CHF 2.5 when we asked for toothpaste. Not really a complaint, as we would have bought it anyway, but it was a bit different from what was stated online.
We had a really pleasant stay at this hotel. The location is very convenient, right beside the bus stop and only about 15 minutes by bus from Luzern train station. The rooms were clean, spacious, and well-ventilated, making the stay very comfortable. The backyard was a lovely surprise, with a few farm animals that my daughter absolutely enjoyed. Breakfast was simple but very nice, with coffee and eggs freshly made to order. The cheeses served at breakfast were absolutely delicious, we didn’t have such cheeses during the rest of our trip or at any of the other hotels we stayed in. Bathrooms were spotless and stocked with toiletries, which added to the comfort. The staff were warm and friendly throughout, and we appreciated the thoughtful gesture of the manager/owner giving us free water bottles for our onward journey at checkout. The hotel also has plenty of booklets about nearby attractions, don’t hesitate to pick one up or ask, as it’s a nice way to plan your day.

AustraliaThe restaurant was very upmarket which was odd in a 3 star hotel, would have been great if we were able to just get normal dinner foods. The shower door did not fully seal and everytime you shower it was unavoidable that water went everywhere.
Staff were very welcoming and helpful. Especially the lady who checked us in (sorry did not catch the name). Breakfast was great, location to bus stop into luzern was good and very close by.

RomaniaHowever, there were four things that disappointed me: 1) the room had no air conditioning and It was one of those rooms at the top , very hot 2) very noisy during the night. You can hear the cars (the hotel is located in a main road) and people screaming (night life) 3) there was no mini fridge, although the staff kindly offered a bucket with ice, not very convenient 4) the bed was uncomfortable, very hot, i could feel lots of lumps in the mattress
The location and staff were excellent! The restaurant staff also excellent! Nice pool with garden and room size and cleaning were great.

NetherlandsRoom was a bit hot, with only a (very powerful) fan, and streetside room was not ideal for opening the window. But: earplugs helped and bed was very nice.
A small car- ot bus ride (free public transport ticket!) from Lucern, hotel Balm was a very nice place to stay for the two nights we were there. Comfy beds, great breakfast (with a view), free parking with charging option gor our electric car not two minutes away. Very nice restaurant (you can choose between fancy and bistro menu) and very helpful and friendly staff who brought us drinks at the poolside.

Lovely large room with sitting area and luxurious bathroom. Beds comfy and two fans which were quiet. Breakfast was amazing. So much choice and freshly cooked eggs. Great to have a pool and enjoyed swimming in rain.
