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 StatesThe room was a bit plain and the tv was super small. I would have t liked the bed to be one whole complete bed (size queen rather than who twins put together. Wish the hotel offered at least a complementary water bottle for each quest.
The breakfast was good. I like that there was a variety of food items.. I also appreciate the complimentary slippers and bus pass.

Czech RepublicThe hotel is a bit old and the hallways are quite dark, which doesn’t make the best impression, but the room was a pleasant surprise - spotless and cosy.
We had a very comfortable and clean room. The hotel staff were so much helpful and kind.

RussiaThe only thing which I would improve is to replace the mini-bar in the room with a fridge. I personally felt I needed more cooling for my food and beverages.
In general I liked my room very much.

MontenegroParking isn't guaranteed, someone can take your spot even after you paid for it, if you go somewhere with the car. Breakfast could have a bit more options. Also the double bed is basically 2 single beds put together, so you are kind of falling in the middle.
Clean, good location, good value for Lugano. Public parking garage across the street which is free 19-07h.

MoldovaThe hotel is connected to some type of bicycle shop and there was a pungent dye smell in the hallways. Room could have been cleaner. Breakfast was so so, cutlery was stained and food not the best. There was a problem with the internet on the upper floors and it only worked on the lower floors. There was construction outside and you could hear some noise during morning/day.
The property has a good location and it offers a Ticino ticked so you can have discounted access to some of the tourist destinations as well as public transport. Staff was really nice and helpful. The view from balcony is nice.

CroatiaNo ventilation in bathroom, light cord was exposed with tape hanging down, as light heats up, crackling noise of mirror. Shower would be unusable if you aren’t in shape, very high step over into the shower. No guarantee of parking spaces. Breakfast was expensive for average offering. Not much sound insulation.
Good location, walking distance to lake, town, restaurants.

United StatesNot the hotel's fault, but it was pouring, and so I needed to take a taxi there and back. Six or so blocks cost twenty francs each way. True highway robbery unfortunately characteristic of Switzerland.
Just down the street from the train station a bit, the hotel is reasonable for the always overpriced Switzerland. Good (significantly up-charged) breakfast. Given the geography of the city, the hotel's location is particularly convenient, as while the front faces the street where the train station is located, the back entrance leads to the lakeshore (though walking back up requires you be pretty healthy! You may want to take the funicular instead.) Staff was welcoming and helpful.
