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.).

Israel- The pool was a bit cold for us, even though it’s summer time and some days were hot weather, the pool water was very cold. - The location was good since we had a car, it’s only few minutes drive to the center. - Walking is also good option but the way back is climbing sharp way up. There are buses also nearby. - The parking outdoor was supposed to be half price than indoors based on “booking” information, but when we arrived they said that outdoors will be the same as indoors, and that booking was still not updated. This is fine overall, but would be better not to make these kind of inaccurate information.
The staff were FABULOUS ! Very helpful with great attitude, very welcoming, smiling, wonderful energies and looking for helping guest. The suite is beautiful, big spaces and great view to the lake. Room service was good ! They didn’t miss any day. Nice gym and they offer also sauna. Cleanness and service are excellent.

Switzerland- The room’s furniture could benefit from a more modern touch, although everything was clean - For dinner, greater variety at dinner would be welcome given the high prices - The pool water is cold - Finally, offering a few more "free" items in the room (such as drinks, snacks) would make the experience even more enjoyable, especially considering the price.
The hotel is well located, with a back entrance leading directly to Paradiso train station. The lake view suite was very spacious and offered a beautiful view. The staff were extremely kind, whether at the reception, housekeeping, or during breakfast. A special mention to the gentleman at breakfast who remembered the ingredients of the morning omelette, a lovely touch! The room was very calm and quiet, which made it perfect for working. It was also well equipped, with two televisions, two bathrobes, etc. The bus pass was also a real bonus, making it easy to explore the area.

United Arab EmiratesThe furniture is a bit out dated but in an excellent condition so wasn’t really an issue . It is the location is not centric so you need to take a train or bus but the hotel provides a ticket on arrival a good touch from them.
The view from the rooms is amazing Lugano lake is breath taking . The room is spacious , clean , comfi beds , the breakfast was the best , nice high quality variety , omelette station and they even have nice coffee not the regular machine ones . The gym area is a bit stuffy but they have all the necessity equipment. The pool is nice but it is only indoor.

United KingdomHaving to pay 10CHF per night to park in the outside car park. The bathroom of our room was very badly designed which made getting into the shower very difficult. You had to squeeze between the toilet and the edge of the shower screen to climb over the edge of the bath to access the shower. The cost of the drinks in the Havana Bar were just ridiculous. 23CHF for a gin and tonic! No wonder the bar was nearly empty and then you had to sit and drink it while other guests were sitting smoking in the bar.
The rooms were spacious and the location was a 20 minute walk from the centre of Lugano or use the free bus from outside

Upgraded to a suite which was a very lovely surprise. The staff make this hotel as they're all super friendly and nothing is too much trouble. Breakfast was plentiful and superb! Only had one evening meal which was great. Quiet location. Bus and train station on the doorstep for further travelling if needed. We stayed for 3 nights but unfortunately didn't get time to sample the spa facilities. Sad to leave.

SwitzerlandThe location is great. Very comfy. Good restaurant and friendly staff. However they could be a little bit more service oriented, like extending the check out for an hour or two free of charge OR provide a tiny little portion of olive oil and honey for free and not ask for 15CHF.
