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 Kingdomthe first member of staff to greet us was lovely. The next encounter with a different person was less so. We were trying to connect to wifi and her attitude was ‘you were told before’. Well in fact we were not, and the first lovely lady confirmed that. But in any case, this not good customer relations as it would have been easy to just be helpful. Also in the morning, the noise outside from I assume an industrial type extractor fan was so loud even with the windows closed.
Lovely location and great breakfast. First encounter with staff was great.

Germanyall in all i don't want to complain at this point.
This hotel is located in a beautiful old building in the heart of Besançon's old town. The rooms are tastefully decorated, although our room looked a little worn due to the worn wallpaper. The bed was very comfortable and the bathroom was exceptionally large and had natural light. We were accommodated in an annexe and unfortunately there was no lift to the second floor. The breakfast buffet offered typical French ingredients as well as continental products. The picturesque old town and great restaurants are within easy walking distance, and a walk along the river bend offers many beautiful views and backdrops. We will gladly come back again.

GermanyWe stayed only one night in the hotel and arrived late. We were very well welcomed. The person at the reception was very friendly. When she saw we were very tired, she did the check in very quickly and gave us our room :) we had overall good experience.

SwitzerlandThe room was too dark. I didn’t like the carpet which seemed from an old age and dark too, which made the room even darker. There was a coffee machine, and one tea bag. Unfortunately I wasn’t able to use it as there was no kettle. A small fridge would have been useful, in order to have had the bottle of water fresh and not warm
The kindness of the staff at the reception. They were very helpful. The bedding was really good and the bathroom, despite the fact that it was small was good. The fact that there was a safety box.

FranceThe biggest drawback is the parking. They have a small yard for a handful of cars, but it was packed by the time I arrived. Apparently you have to book the parking in advance, but it’s not specified at all throughout the room booking process. At that time of the day, in the city center, the only available parking is 8 minutes away on foot. Simply too much hassle for the weary traveler. Also a bit noisy because of the old wooden floors, can hear everyone’s steps.
- luxurious feeling - great breakfast with freshly made pastries - nice decorations - in city center - nice staff
