Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

AustraliaThis boutique hotel-restaurant was simply superb! What a delight to stay in a tastefully renovated and quirkily decorated small castle from the 17th century in a picturesque little Swiss village, where exceptional food is served for both breakfast and dinner!

United KingdomBreakfast wasn’t as good as I was expecting for the price , no choice of fresh cooked eggs . The town has little to offer but ideal for a stopover as close to the French border .
Great location near the motorway but in a peaceful village right on the main road . Lots of free parking. Warm welcome ,very friendly staff. Nice big room with the advantage of a lift. Big modern bathroom . Lovely restaurant but quite expensive and little other choice in the town that we could see. Great choice of English channels on the tv.

United KingdomA very modern (or recently updated) small hotel with its own parking in this delightful and quiet small town. Charming staff and an excellent restaurant attached, with very good chefs. Good fresh choice for breakfast. A great place to stay when travelling through Switzerland, especially if you want to avoid the busyness of the Lausanne area. We would certainly stay here again if travelling through the area. An unexpected gem.

SwitzerlandIt was really hot in the room and they provide a ventilator but it didn’t help much unfortunately. There’s also no kettle in the room which would have been nice to make tea and coffee in the evening / morning.
Beautiful cute hotel, gorgeous wooden beamed rooms and nice bathrooms. The location is fantastic if you’re wanting to visit the Vallorbe caves and Juraparc. The staff are really friendly, free parking and easy to get to. Breakfast was ok if you like continental (my son loved the pancakes and croissants)! English tv channels which was a massive plus!
