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.).

Germany-
Great central location with restaurants and sights nearby. The room was clean and the staff answered all my questions quite quickly via email or phone. The self pickup of the key via safety box worked out well. I particularly liked the accommodation I stayed in, which was a former church building and quite a unique and charming place with a great view and lots of windows and light. The rooms were spacious and the bathroom new and clean. I only had to get used to the church bells ringing at 6 am.

United KingdomComplete lack of effective communication before we arrived - we were told we would be staying in an annex and that as many of staff had left as hotel would be closing at end of September there would be no actual staff on reception on certain days. In fact there was a member of staff on reception desk when we checked in and we were allocated a room in main hotel building
Breakfast excellent- plenty of choice. Room excellent.

United KingdomRooms were not particularly big - narrow stairs and small lift means it's a bit tight if you have a lot of luggage. Limited luggage storage space too.
Really good location, right on the square next to the abbey and the old town. Took about 10 mins to walk from the train station. We stayed here on two separate occasions while in St Gallen - the first time we were in the main building, the second time we were in the annex building, but both are quite close to each other. There was also the option to self-check in if we were arriving later than the specified check-in time, which we did once. But that meant having to swipe on an internet page to open the front door & room remotely - useful or not, depending on your perspective!

GreeceCheck inn through the <tablet system> was finally impossible and the front desk lady did it manualy (thank you but we have to cut many of the electronic-bulshit that makes our lives finally much worse!!!) The price was too high but considering that the place is in the center and we are talking about Switzerland i guess its ok.
Excellent position in the <old town> and very close (150m) to the underground parking on the <Oberer Graben> street. Very helpfull and polite staff. Big and very cleen rooms and baths

United KingdomI booked 3 rooms for myself and 2 daughters and their partners. My daughter’s rooms were a good size but ours (304) was small with a sink in the room and a very small shower. No tea and coffee facilities in the room but we just thought on the way home that perhaps we were allowed to use the facilities at the end of the corridor but nobody informed us of them?
The location was excellent. The rooms were clean and adequately equipped.

United KingdomJust a note that to leave your bags they need to fit in a locker and you need a 2CHF coin to operate it and take the key. Not a problem for me …I just went to the cafe in the square with my bag and had a cold beer to get some change!
A perfect location in the heart of the old town. The reception staff were friendly and this little hotel had everything I needed for a 3 night stay in St gallen. My airy, double room faced an inner courtyard and was so peaceful. I had air con and two big windows that opened fully. It was very clean and the bed and pillows were very comfortable. There are facilities to help yourself to tea and coffee etc on the ground floor with a lovely terrace to sit outside. I didn’t have breakfast in the hotel as I like to wander and find a cafe - there’s an excellent one just around the corner on the square overlooking the Abbey. You are minutes walk from so many things, including the funicular railway up to the lakes where you can have a swim. I would definitely stay here again.
