Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

SpainThis is not hotel-specific: if you can, I’d suggest avoiding an overnight stay inside the Gruyères enclave. Parking is limited to paid lots outside the village, prices are high, and there isn’t much to do that you couldn’t enjoy just as well on a day visit. As for the hotel itself, my only real criticism is the breakfast. The selection was very limited and the quality left something to be desired. You’re probably better off spending your euros on breakfast elsewhere.
Nice enough: The hotel is located in the heart of the Gruyères enclave, which can be both a blessing and a drawback (more on that below). The staff were friendly, the hotel was clean, and the beds were comfortable, no issues there. What follows is more advice for future tourists than criticism of the hotel itself:

Hong KongBe prepared to drag your luggage over the cobblestones in front of all the tourists to the hotel - cars not allowed into the town even to drop bags off…
Great location, rooms nicely fitted out, four-poster bed was a nice touch. Hotel is smack in the centre of the village.

AustraliaThere was some confusion about the restaurant. Apparently, they don't run a tab to pay at the end of stay. Staff were confused about the protocol.
Fantastic location and views, we had a studio apartment. It was lovely and spacious.

SwitzerlandMy fondue for dinner was not the best I ever had. Not sure what kind of cheese was for Moite-Moite. There was not a single piece of garlic inside, nor a little Kirsch. Ok but could be improved.
When we arrived in the afternoon the hotel restaurant and terrace was packed with tourists and the staff was extremely busy. Despite this Jasmin and Victoria found time to welcome us and to have us checked in eventually. Our rooms was extremely large, locaed on the third floor with view of the inner part and the fountain of Gruyere. Water pressure and hot water supply was excellent. There is even a lift to the third floor, which makes for a very comfortable stay.. We can recommend this hotel for one night stay to experience this quaint village after all the tourists have gone.

United StatesThe bed squeaked badly. It appeared to be the cross beams that the mattress rests on. Had we stayed more than one night, we would have asked for another room. It also would have been nice to have fans in the room.
The location was in the main square. It wasn't noisy as the place isn't very big and it appeared some groups came for the day.

New ZealandThe only mistake made was not to provide any lighting in the sitting area of the apartment so impossible to read there. Should be easy to fix
We had the new apartment next to the hotel, well equipped and laid out with a good terrace with a lovely view. Friendly staff. We parked in P2 as P1 was full about 4pm but were able to move up to P1 at 6pm - not a long walk.

United KingdomBreakfast not worth the €15 wish we'd eaten elsewhere. Wasn't replenished thoughout the service, so ended up picking at scraps after 9am. Had to ask for butter, had to wait to be able to ask for a coffee, staff unavailable. One lady with blonde curly hair was great, the day she wasn't there seemed chaotic.
Large room, amazing views, reduced price for parking in village available. Clean and comfortable. Perfect location for all of Gruyères. Restaurant was nice.

United StatesBreakfast options for vegetarians were very limited. The bread was hard. A few more options (that we have seen in other hotels in Swiss) would have helped.

SwitzerlandThe room was impeccably clean and comfortable. But with no charm. The entrance, stairs etc are really not attractive.
The food provided was ok. But on the table there was a fork and a knife. No spoon for my boiled egg and no eggcups . There was pepper but no salt. I had to ask for what was missing. They did not even ask me if I wanted milk for my coffee.
