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 KingdomIt wasn't clear whether hotel residents were able to go up to the rooftop bar, with priority over outside visitors, and there didn't seem to be any way to pre-book which we hadn't realised.
We were visiting Switzerland for our 40th wedding anniversary so I had requested a room with a bed overlooking the lake. We were given exactly the room I had requested/hoped for and it had a wonderful view and balcony - although the large television did obscur this view from one side of the bed, which was rather a shame. The bed was extremely comfortable and the room immaculately clean. It was great to have a separate shower and WC - with basin and mirror - as this meant I could get ready while my husband took his shower and he didn't have to wait for me to finish in the bathroom. The Reception staff were excellent - friendly and polite. Most of the restaurant/bar staff were great, but we did have an issue with being 'forgotten' after ordering on the roof terrace. I realise that it was busy and so we wouldn't have minded if the server hadn't tried to cover up with some excuse rather than just owning up and aplogising. It was obvious that this was the case, as I not only saw him hastily enter our order after I'd queried it, but he then had to come and tell us that they'd run out of what I'd ordered. He hurriedly made me an alternative, rather than the bar staff doing so, which I had to drink very quickly as we'd gone up to the bar for an aperitif before our anniversary dinner in the restaurant. This didn't really start our special evening off in the best way, but a lovely meal overlooking the lake soon got our celebration back on track. Neuchâtel was a delightful place to visit with the hotel being situated right next to the Musée des Beaux-Arts which we really enjoyed. The benefit of the tourist card giving free public transport (including a 90 minute boat trip on the lake and the funicular) as well as entrance to museums and some attractions is a definite bonus so make sure to register for this and get the app.

SwitzerlandIt definitely has the feel of a big corporate hotel. The price is high.
It was a great place to stay and the location was perfect for Neuchâtel. It was easy to get to and from the train station too. The rooms were ultra clean and the breakfast buffet was incredible.

United KingdomThe only thing I can think of is it would be nice if the hotel had its own car park, but this is a minor criticism. The nearby car park is €1 per hour at the time of writing, but free on Sundays. Do look out for the dropped kerb if you’re driving in front of the hotel!
We had a beautifully well appointed room on the second floor overlooking the lake and looking towards the High Alps and the Jungfrau. The marina is adjacent the hotel so you can sit having lunch as we did while watching the comings and goings of the various yachts and boats. The rooftop terrace is well shaded from the sun and has a range of cocktails and snacks on offer. The art museum is right opposite the hotel and it’s an easy walk to other attractions. Car parking is easy and convenient. I must mention the staff who were all unfailingly pleasant, helpful, polite and obliging. They made us feel incredibly welcome. I hope to return for longer next time!

SwitzerlandIn the roof bar the manager was very rude - he asked his colleague to focus on clean-up, instead of coming to serve us... while I waved at them.
Amazing location, fantastic view at the lake, also over the mountains. Gorgious rooftop bar! Very nice service at the reception desk.

SwitzerlandThe fact that I was advised not to open the widows because if the potential presence of mosquitoes. I wish they had mosquito screens on the windows
The hotel is strategically located facing the Neuchatel lake, giving the rooms an amazing view over the lake all the way across. It is 5 minutes walk from the centre and one minute to the quay, where at nights there are many bars, restaurants and is lively with locals and tourists.
