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 KingdomNot cheap, but a worthwhile treat!
Location to the train station was a few minutes walk if you via platform 4, and easy access to the lake via the funicular at the station was perfect. The hotel had a lovely restaurant and outdoor pool which we took advantage of. Worth upgrading to a balcony with a lake view - couldn’t get enough of that view 😃.

PortugalThe room was not cleaned during my stay,
The hotel is situated in a great location, 5 min walking distance from the train station. The room was renovated and the breakfast was nice. When I arrived the room was not ready yet but I was invited to use the swimming pool until until the official check in time, When I did the check out, I was also allowed to use the pool and all the facilities of the hotel during the day. The breakfast had some variety of options and good quality. The restaurant situated in the gardens of the hotel is also a recommended option for a nice meal.

United KingdomIt would have been nice to have drinks making facilities in our room. But it was only a minor issue
Everything was immaculate. The room was a little on the small side but had everything we needed (apart from tea/coffee making facilities). There was even a view of the lake from the terrace outside our room. After arriving very late because of transport issues, we were met by a very kind and helpful lady who not only arranged for us to park our car, she also arranged for bar to stay open to serve us drinks, even though it officially had closed. There was also a very kind man who took our luggage in for us. The buffet style breakfast had just about everything anyone could want.

United StatesDidnt like the rooms locked —and even unlocked from the inside of the room with a key. Seemed a little dangerous in the event of a fire.
So much charm. Love the history and detail. Walkable but it’s a good walk to lake area. Walkable to train station.

Via short cable car ride (free with complementary Ticino-Card) starting at other side of railway station very quickly connected to center of town and lakeside. very good choice at breakfast buffet.

SwitzerlandIt's a 3* hotel, so don’t expect a coffee machine or toiletries in the room. I liked it all.
Having stayed in many 5* hotels in Switzerland, none have come close to the hospitality and enjoyment that we experienced here. A classic hotel with comfort and attention that harks back to the 'good old days' of Swiss hotels, from the breakfast to the pool, to the bar and ending at the restaurant. The helpful and friendly staff made it all possible - and everything was done in understated style.
