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 reviewI liked how the location was very handy.
I did not like my room. It was not nicely decorated. It was not inviting. I also did not like the fact that I had to cross the hallway to get to my bathroom. This was not well mentioned on the website beforehand. Finally I did not like the key system. When i wanted to check out around 7:30 in the morning (in my email it said I could check-out from 6:30-10:00) EVERYTHING was locked. I could not get anywhere in the building and even the elevator did not work. I just felt stuck. At 8:00 I could finally check out.

Verified reviewComfortable beds with excellent pillows which is rarely the case in hotels. Little but practical rooms, warm and quiet. Private parking is great with back entrance to hotel so you do not need to suffer with your luggage.

Verified reviewThe staff were very nice and the bed was comfortable. Breakfast was lovely.
It's a bit dated as far as the decor and we were four adults staying in a small room with a cot. They could have taken the cot out to give us a bit more space.

Verified review...the location. As if it is only for an overnight stay on your way to/from your holiday or for a weekend away like me and my husband. The location is near Tamaro Mountain and Splash&Spa, for one who likes going on a mountain bike or trekking/hiking and the other to relax in spa... well just perfect! We opted for the half-board as we were positively surprised if the meal portions. The breakfast was good too and most of all, the staff, starting from the receptionist/check-in to the waitresses. Right in front of the train station, so you get there by train and 5 minutes walk from the Splash&Spa with the hotel's free parking, you save yourself money too, as we went there the day we arrived and could leave our car at the hotel before my You get a Ticino Card too issued by the hotel which gives you 20%-30% off the entrance fees of many places and free Arcobaleno card/public transport, so we were actually quite surprised. We will be definately back!
Everything was fine, as presented on the site.
