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 StatesIt would have been nice to see the local train schedule in advance of arrival so we could have planned our day better, but everything worked out and I would choose this location again in a heartbeat.
WOW! The view over Montreux was absolutely breath taking. The location away from the city but with an easy train ride down the mountain into Montreux made this a very special place. The restaurant was outstanding. Many local favorites were on the menu and the staff were excellent.

United KingdomWe love the Coucou Hotel - our 3rd visit. Fabulous staff, knock-out view over Lac Léman/Geneva, peaceful, excellent buffet breakfast until 10.30. Delicious dinner. Funicular railway down to Montreux and up to mountain top - spectacular and useful. Car useful for late night returns from the Jazz Festival on week days when the last train back is at 23.30, otherwise it's a taxi! :-)

SwitzerlandThe views, friendly staff and spacious grounds
Really cute bnb style hotel. I had the room with shared bathrooms which worked well. The hotel has a beautiful view, fantastic yard for lounging, lovely dining area and very friendly staff. It took 30 minutes with the scenic train to get to the hotel so allow yourself some time. The views you have will make the whole trip worthwhile!! Breakfast was included. Many hikes can begin from this location. Highly recommend this hotel!

United KingdomParts of the hotel were scuffed and our room was not serviced on our first night (of a two night stay). Apparently the “please service my room” card has to be left outside the door, servicing the room is not the default. However, there was no card in our room to hang! Resolved when we returned in the evening by asking for two fresh towels, but this required the maitre d’ to leave the restaurant and sort it out - which he did do in a friendly way, with an apology for the inconvenience. So resolution was good, but initial issue frustrating.
The location of Le Coucou is great, albeit one has to travel down to Montreux by train (or car) to access anything. The views are wonderful, and the immediate area is very quiet. The restaurant was very good, with a good selection of food, including “Swiss specialities”.

Above expectation. We booked 3 rooms, 2 with ensuite and one with shared bathroom. The view over Lake Leman from the restaurant terrace is magical, specially at sunset. All the staffs were super helpful and friendly. Both dinner and breakfast were exceptional. A big 10/10 experience !

SwitzerlandFirstly, during dinner, my partner ordered a chicken dish which unfortunately was served undercooked. Initially, the waiter offered a deduction from the bill, but the item still appeared on the final invoice. Moreover, no alternative meal or other form of compensation was offered, leaving my partner without a proper dinner while I was served mine. This was disappointing and not what one would expect from a restaurant of this caliber. Secondly, the staff appeared consistently overwhelmed. As hotel guests, we experienced significant delays with check-in, check-out, and even basic inquiries, as restaurant service was clearly prioritized over front desk assistance. Lastly, we were not informed at check-in that the Riviera Pass was included in our stay and allowed for free public transport. We only discovered this via a note at the reception desk during check-out—by which time we had already paid unnecessarily for train tickets. We appreciate the efforts of the staff under what seems to be a high-pressure environment, but we believe these areas could benefit from improvement to ensure a more seamless and satisfying guest experience.
