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 reviewVery functional and clean rooms ( except floor of 1 room was not hoovered and likely accidentally). Excellent location.
- limited accessibility for disabled people must be highlighted better - lack of fridge ( even empty). Certain medicaments need to be kept in the fridge so to me this is important. - possibility to change check in time should be removed as it is not possible being a self check-in hotel. ( Baggage storage ahead of check-in is still possible in a different hotel just in front ).
Dear Valeria, Thank you for your feedback and this good note. We're happy you enjoyed the clean and functional rooms, as well as our great location. As a 2-star self check-in hotel, we do our best to offer a simple and comfortable stay. We appreciate your comments and would like to clarify a few points: While rooms don’t have fridges, guests can store medication at the reception of our second hotel just across the street. Early check-in isn’t possible due to our self check-in system, but luggage can be stored at the other hotel. Thank you again, and we hope to welcome you back! Best regards,- Team Arnold & Co

Verified reviewIt is super new, could be a 4 stars but missing air-conditioning and fridge -but each room has a very effective fan- and has no reception but if you need anything you cross the street and go to the partner hotel des artistes. Check in is via a totem hidden on the left side of the corridor after the entrance. It's very easy. Super soundproof and very comfy. Linens are top, soap and shampoo and conditioner are very good ans smell amazing. There is also the hairdryer in the room!! Parking is in front of the hotel where you can stay for 30min (5 spots only) or 2 hours (0.50chf/hour from 7 to 9pm, then it is gratis for the night. Police patrols so pay it. There is an app to download if you are a tourist and don't have coins. If you stay longer than 2h, go 100mt further an there is another big public parking lot with shadow, same price and conditions (free at night) but no time limitations There is also a great bakery right in the same building. You will be entitled to the tourist card with many free museums, public transportation in the city and regions and also boat cruises on the lake. City center is 10min away max walking and harbor way less. Absolutely the best quality-value hotel.
Hello Roberta, thank you very much for your detailed and enthusiastic review! We are delighted to read that you enjoyed the comfort, soundproofing, bedding, amenities and equipment in the room. Your detailed description will certainly be very useful for future travellers! Regarding the air conditioning and refrigerator, we understand that this could further improve the experience, and your comments will be taken into account in our continuous improvement efforts. We are also pleased that you found the fan effective and that the check-in via the totem was easy. Thank you also for your valuable information about parking and the surrounding area — especially the bakery and the tourist map! Your feedback confirms that our establishment is ideally located to fully enjoy the city. We look forward to welcoming you back very soon! Kind regards, Team Arnold & Co

Dear Allison, Thank you very much for your positive feedback! We are delighted that you enjoyed the design, cleanliness and comfort of the room and bathroom. Regarding the absence of a refrigerator, it is true that, as a 2-star hotel, we do not offer this type of equipment in the rooms in order to remain true to our positioning. However, we understand that some travellers may miss this and we take your comment into account. We look forward to welcoming you back for your next stay! Kind regards, Team Arnold & Co
