How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewThe breakfast had many options, and the staff did a great job at making me free at home.
It was a very hot week and a fan in the room would have helped to keep the room cooler.

Verified reviewVery small hotel just over Balerna station, very close to italian border. The rooms are small but very nice and comfortable, with very useful complimentary bottles of water. Very quiet in the night, very good quality of sleep. Every room have a private bathroom except one….my one. But the bathroom is very close on the corridor, for exclusive use, very clear but small and a little claustrophobic. Breakfast nothing special but staff very very friendly. Overall, a place where come back.
No problems at all.

Verified reviewWhat a wonderful place to stay overnight while traveling. The rooms are lovely, and it's wonderful to have a restaurant on site. The staff is literally ready to give you a fantastic experience. We ate mussels, among other things, and they were deliciously prepared. The various pasta dishes are also highly recommended. Leaving early wasn't a problem either: "We'll prepare a breakfast for you to take with you." To all the staff: "Thank you for your excellent care and service!"

Verified reviewRestaurant/bar on the ground floor, serving very good food. Parking on site. Lovely room, clean & airy - slept very well. We didn't venture from the hotel, as we were tired.
Restaurant/bar prices ... but, we were in Switzerland!!!! A 2 course meal for 2 people, with a few drinks = €150! We did enjoy it & the peace of the outdoor area.

Verified reviewNice comfortable hotel. Usually, you get a warm welcome from friendly staff. Always you get a good breakfast, and recently the car parking has been expanded. Very good value for money.
To be fair, Switzerland shuts on Sundays and November the 1st. I've arrived on both such occasions, and have been let in with a code sent to my phone, which is fine, but on these two occasions there were no staff, and the very good restaurant closed. Hence this time round I'm unable -through no fault of the hotel - to comment on either staff or restaurant. However, I must stress that when the hotel is properly open, both have been very good.

Verified reviewI really had a good time in this place. The location is perfect, right in front of the train station. You can take a 5min train to Mendrisio easily from there. The staff are very friendly. I really liked how helpful the lady I see in the morning during breakfast time. Totally recommend this place.
