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 StatesThe hotel should consider providing an electric fan if air conditioning isn’t available during the summer. The room was uncomfortably hot, even with the doors open, so having a fan would make a big difference.
The breakfast exceeded my expectations.

United KingdomI booked a non-en suite room knowing I’d be sharing a bathroom, but the setup was unusual and not made clear when booking. My room had a locked connecting door to a bathroom that I couldn’t use, yet it was shared by the room next door. This meant I could hear everything through the thin door (with a gap underneath) whenever it was used, which was very loud and uncomfortable. On top of that, I still had to use the shared bathroom out in the corridor. Overall, it felt like a strange and poorly explained arrangement.
For the price the room was good especially having the lake view ,balcony and breakfast. The staff were all very friendly also.

SwitzerlandA hook on the back of the door of my room would have been useful to hang up my bath towel, as I had a room without a bathroom.
Great location, right on the lake front and very close to all shops and amenities. The buffet breakfast was exceptional. A very good selection of food to choose from, and also well catered for dairy and gluten free guests. The receptionist was also very friendly and helpful.

BelgiumExtreme noise from live music on 2 of 3 nights. Extreme noise through walls of arguing guests, guests making normal noises like taking a shower, I heard it all. Smoking through ajoining door of next room was also unpleasant- hotel is non smoking inside rooms! 1 toilet for females and 2 toilets for males to share between 6 rooms. 1 shower to share between 6 rooms. I knew about this during booking and it did make me nervous, but I wasn't aware just how many have to share and it is too many and not enough female toilets. Would I stay again? Maybe, but it was the worst and most expensive single room of the 3 I stayed at in Switzerland on this trip and all 3 locations were tourist hotspots so felt this was quite overpriced.
Breakfast was great, especially days hot breakfast was provided. Location and ability to swim in the lake immediately from the hotel was the other positive. Views from balcony - would never choose non lake facing room. Staff were very nice.

SwitzerlandIt’s not easy to find an available hotel parking spot. The town is busy with tourists during the day, but it quiets down nicely in the evening. The hotel itself feels quite old for the room prices and would really benefit from some renovation.
The room offers a nice view of the lake, but the best views are actually from the terrace, where you can enjoy an aperitif or dinner. The staff is friendly and deserves to be acknowledged.

It’s a very beautiful place, location, everything And actually the staff clean your room everyday You get all things you need
