How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewLocation was amazing, Food here is good quality and good portion sizes.
Staff could’ve been more welcoming and sorted a table for us in advance for the restaurant - on our first night the manager said we had a table for 7pm, then on arrival got told it was fully booked. Curtains in the room weren’t very good as they left gaps so people could see into our room.

Verified reviewWOW! 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.
It 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.

Verified reviewWe 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! :-)

Verified reviewReally 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!
The views, friendly staff and spacious grounds

Verified reviewFrom the moment I got off the train and walked along the beautiful road towards the hotel taking in the views, I was very impressed. The property itself has kept it's vintage charm. The staff were really lovely, the decor is beautiful as described. There are no smoking rules and also no noise after 11, this was brilliant, so relaxing. The breakfast was delicious and plentiful with limitless barista coffee, made by the very busy and very efficient and polite staff member. I wish I could've stayed longer.
There was only one plug outlet in my room, so I had to choose to use fan or charge phone, I chose to relax and read in the cool air of the fan.

Room was too small. Hardly any space even to move. Location of the hotel is far from the city. The road is too much narrow. Very difficult to drive till hotel.
