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 KingdomI had such a lovely stay at this hotel! The room and lounge were both beautiful and spotlessly clean. During breakfast, the front desk staff noticed that my coffee cup was empty and kindly offered to make me another one such a thoughtful and attentive gesture. I truly appreciated the warm hospitality and small touches that made my stay special. I will definitely stay here again the next time I visit Bern!

Switzerlandcould not have been better - you just have to know the building is old (but well maintained) and you hear the stairs/people getting in and out of the house. If you are a very noise-sensitive person this could bother you.
Very nice old building in the city center just a couple of steps away from the old town. Right at the aare you have a beautiful surrounding. The breakfast was very good and the hosts lovely.

United StatesSome rooms and bathrooms are quite small, with little space to store luggage/belongings. It was a steep walk up to the main streets, though bus stop is nearby.
It was a charming, cozy, welcoming place. Breakfast was excellent. Tea room on the first floor was a nice touch. The staff was welcoming and accommodating.

New ZealandShared bathrooms aren’t everyone’s thing. But it surely wasn’t a problem.
The hotel was super cute. Just across and over the bridge from the old town. Minutes away by bus from the train station. One certainly feels home there immediately. The friendly and knowledgeable staff and the nicely prepared breakfast buffet round it all up to a great experience.

Australia- facilities are quite old, and the floor was noisy - there's a large public parking opposite to the hotel, however, the car park is only free from 7pm to 7 am, so we had to get up at 7 to pay for the parking (3 Franc per hour) - no lift, but luckily we travelled light. The stairs are small, it would be difficult to carry a big luggage up
- The location was great, only a few minutes walk from the old city. - great breakfast and tasty home made yoghurt - lovely staff, very friendly and helpful - the room is nicely decorated and clean

United Statesthere isn't really a bus that gets you right to the hotel so walking from the train station is usually the fastest way I stayed on an extra bed and it wasn't very comfy (kinda understandable of course) but if you don't need one then that's irrelevant!
breakfast was lovely! full spread and very tasty the location is amazing - just a quick walk from the bear pit and right across the river room was big and spacious bathroom was great too! and extra bathrooms in the hallway was very nice
