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.).

FranceOverall the room was very clean, but one of the bath towels was dirty. We found everything in the hotel to be a little overly complicated. From the faucets, to the black out switches (that were nowhere near the bed), the door handle, and the inexplicable lettering of the rooms and reception - why not number it to make it easier? When on holiday, one wants to relax, not try to figure things out. Even the extended shuttle service was overly complicated. From 7pm to 9pm the shuttle went into Ascona. And then there was no service until 11pm to 12pm from Ascona back to the hotel. We wanted to come back early (because we didn’t want to wait till 11) and asked reception where we would be picked up from if we wanted to come back at 9pm. It was then emphasised to us several times that the shuttle was only outgoing between 7 and 9pm, only to then be told that if we were there, the shuttle could take us back to the hotel. Why not say this in the first place rather than spend 10 minutes telling us otherwise first. It was just too complicated and in the end we were told the wrong place for pick up. There is a path that can be walked from the hotel to Ascona and this was lovely. But the walk back is very steep and particularly challenging in the heat. I mention this because outside of the jazz festival, the hotel shuttle stops at 7pm making it very impractical which I guess encourages guests to eat at the hotel. We didn’t eat there as we didn’t like the menu and it was very expensive for what they were offering. Also, information was not made available - there were events on in the hotel but none of this was conveyed to us upon checking in or at any other time (via the staff or via brochures etc.) We only found out after the fact. If you are looking for a hotel in which you can simply stay by the pool and have all your meals in house, then this might suit. Whilst our room was modern and renovated, we walked away feeling that the overall hotel was a little staid.
The view from the room and the hotel terrace and restaurant was stunning. The suite was spacious. Upon checking out, we were given two bottles of water and a gift of a small sample size olive oil. Drinks and snacks at the hotel bar were very good. They had an extended shuttle service that went into the evening due to the jazz festival.
