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.).

CanadaThere is no air conditioning. They did provide a humongous fan in the closet which we needed to use because it was 30° here mid August. Also, this is an alcohol free hotel. I do not drink alcohol, but my companions do. We haven’t heard It wasn’t a problem though for us. It would’ve been nice to have known this information though. I don’t recall seeing it anywhere in the descriptions. That could be my fault though for not paying attention
Gorgeous property. Rooms were beautiful and where it’s located right by the lake it is just so pretty. Breakfast is very good.

AustriaThe noise from the street and some people did religious music starting from 07:30 a.m. which was also a bit over a normal noise level.

United StatesNo need for any comments here! My stay was wonderful!
I enjoyed my stay at Bellevue au Lac! The room was very spacious and comfortable! The staff was very friendly and helpful! They assisted me with getting around town to some wonderful sites! The lake and surroundings were absolutely spectacular! Beautiful views of the lake and mountains! The lake was perfect for swimming! It was great to have lake access provided by the hotel! Breakfast and dinner at the hotel was so delicious! The promenade along the lake was amazingly beautiful! Downtown Thun was only a short bus ride down the road. But if you enjoy walking, the half hour or so stroll along the lake is well worth your time! And last but not least, don't forget to visit the wonderful castle right downtown!

Switzerland- The lift was out of order for a full week which made life difficult for elderly guests on the upper floors - Electric equipment (lamps) was not functioning, attempts to repair it did not really work - Staff several times did not understand food / drink orders and brought wrong items - Room was not made up until 4 pm and one had to ask to accelerate room cleaning
- Extremely beautiful location overlooking lake Thun. Choose a room with lake view, you will see the glaciers of Blümlisalp and mount Niesen overlooking the lake - Private bathing pier directly in front of the hotel, extremely clear water - Excellent food - Zero alcohol hotel - Bus stop Hilterfingen Kirche just outside of the hotel, bus line 21 servicing Interlaken and Thun so you do not need a car for sightseeing - Ferry stop Hilterfingen 5 minutes by foot on the lake promenade

SwitzerlandThey recently changed owners and the hotel does not serve alcohol, which is a shame as the hotel is on the lake and has a beautiful terrace, where people come for food and wine or just for a drink. I doubt they had many bookings in the restaurant over the holidays, and my mother and I were the only patrons in the restaurant which was weird and uncomfortable (the Italian restaurant accross the street was packed).
I got upgraded to a suite although I booked a single room (the hotel was almost empty). Very nice room!

United StatesJust need access to more pillows. Carpet was well worn but bed and bathrooms were very nice. Breakfest was just a little disappointing, wanted more pastry dishes. Lots of bread, but needed raspberry filled somethings
Great Shower. Nice bed. Also, the bell was nice to hear from the church across the street. Real swiss ambiance.

SwitzerlandRoom was a bit small and it was quite warm inside. While opening the windows to get some fresh air, you would then hear the noise from the road.
Friendly staff, enough space to park the car, amazing view on the lake and the mountains. The restaurant is just in front of the lake and the food is good. You can go for a short walk along the lake directly from the hotel. I highly recommend that hotel
