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...).

United StatesWe loved everything about this lovely hotel! Very convenient location, nice staff, and excellent food. Breakfast buffet is amazing! Our room was spacious and we loved opening the windows to look out onto the village square. Seeing the herd parade at 6 am was super fun and a great send off to our 3 week stay in Switzerland.

SingaporeNothing really. Everything worked as billed. I was somewhat shocked at the surge pricing where on one weekend night the price shot up from 280 to 440 SFR.
My third stay here in a year across seasons and each time in a different room. consistent quality in the product despite the dated feel of the property. The staff have always been a key feature of this property. Friendly and make you willing to come back. I enjoyed the restaurant although relative to some properties around, the prices were on the rich side. Interesting Autumn menu.

SwitzerlandNeeds a renovation. In the August heat the room was very hot and airless. I asked for and was very kindly given a fan and so I managed to sleep. Duvets are down even during the hot summer; would have been nice to have something lighter or just a top sheet.
Located in the center of charming Appenzell. Restaurant was just excellent. Breakfast was good. Lovely view of the town and gardens from my room. Staff were kind and friendly, even found me a comb when I forgot my hairbrush.

It was well located, near the train station. It was very clean, and the staff were attentive. The best part of the entire stay was the free continental breakfast. Delicious coffee, pastries, yogurt, juice and omelettes.

SingaporeThe bells in the village toll quite loudly. I woke up early but if you don't be warned.
The house staff were friendly and informative. The property itself is dated but it is very well maintained and the room was quiet and comfortable. I chose to stay in one of the larger rooms facing the rear courtyard and it was as billed - quiet. I stayed another two nights!

SingaporeThis is a matter of taste but the bed was too soft. We are also used to having a hot water kettle in the room to be able to make hot water but there was no coffee/tea set. The hotel was able to provide us with a flask of warm water which is a partial solution.
The hotel was well located in the middle of the town. Breakfast had plenty of quality options - particularly fresh bread. Dinner was very tasty and the service was friendly and helpful.
