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 reviewWell, you obviously pay for the location, but for one night it's a good option. Breakfast was ok, it's buffet style in the self service area of the museum.

Verified reviewThe bedroom was small but comfortable. The window had a nice vie on the back of the hotel and I could see some nature. I stayed one night while crossing from Switzerland to Italy by bike with my cat. There was a shed for the safe storage of the bike overnight and there were no problems with the cat. I also ate at the restaurant and it was a very enjoyable meal.
The bedroom was clean but let's say it needed a spring cleaning as there were a few spider webs. If people are noisy you can hear a bit through the walls. However, most of the people there are either hikers or cyclists and usually sleep early.

Value for money. It’s old charming but it definitely needs a few touch-ups. Walls are paper thin. Food in resto is very basic for this price

Verified reviewOur stay at this hotel was disappointing. The service in the restaurant was unfriendly, and the atmosphere was completely lacking. The heating in our room couldn't be turned off, leading to an uncomfortable night. We discovered mold in the shower, and in the evening, our room was lit up by an outside spotlight, making it difficult to sleep. The food was mediocre, but the wine was good. Overall, not recommended.

Verified reviewComfortable place, an ideal stop off if cycling over the Gotthard pass. A nice breakfast buffet was included with our room.
All was just fine.

Verified reviewVery nice location, on top of the Gotthard pass. Personnel is rather polite and available to help
The rooms are small, very small, if you are taller than 1.90m, you are likely to bump your head on the ceiling. From your movement, you can hear each and every movement in the corridor. Far from soundproof. The toilettes are shared and not sure how often they are cleaned but the smell was not giving a good sign.

Verified reviewWe did arrive late because of journey. The were so keen to call how late the kitchen closed so that we could think about where to eat. The room was basic but comfortable.
Bit difficult to find while in the clouds…

Verified reviewThe location is wonderful, right on the pass. You can do a brief hike (40 minutes) to a nearby lake - it's just a road so not _that_ special, but really worthwhile nevertheless - you know you are in the mountains! Cows with bells add to the Switzerland feel of it. The room is basic but that is what you'd expect from the information on the site. The restaurant is pretty good actually, and breakfast in the museum across the road was nice too.

Verified reviewCompared to the 4 star hotel we stayed the next day for the same money, the difference is rather large. The hotel was rather run down, the restaurant food was ok ,the rooms were fairly small and dated. But we still appreciated the opportunity to stay at the pass. Just in comparison it felt very overpriced.
