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.).

LuxembourgThe room was a little too warm at night despite the air conditioning. Other than that, everything was perfect.
Our child received attention and presents from the staff. The interior of the room / appartment was beautiful. The jacuzzi was fun.

United KingdomThe gym was a short walk from the main reception which in bad weather would not be so great. But that is my only complaint.
We stayed during a heat wave and consequently have a lake ensuite was fantastic. The rooms on the lake had screen door (in addition to the normal glass ones) so you could hear the lake wild life (birds etc) waking up in the morning. The views across the lake to the high peaks of the alps are fantastic.

The location was amazing. We enjoyed having a dive in the lake from our room! The staff were very friendly and welcoming. The fun part was going to the pavillon with a golf cart!

SwitzerlandThe room doesn't have 100% blackout. For people who are more sensitive to light, this can be a problem.
The stay was wonderful, the staff very polite and available. Impeccably clean room with a unique view. Our 7 years old daughter loved the room and we'll definitely be back.

RussiaMy husband visited this hotel for the first time nearly 10 years ago, so of course the rooms have some wear and tear, hopefully it will be taken care of and I will be definitely returning here.
I have been planning to visit this hotel for quite some time, and I am happy the experience met my expectations. I strongly recommend booking the lake pavilion as it is very nice to wake up and go for a swim in the lake in the morning. The pavilion is spacious and well equipped. The bed and pillows comfortable. Breakfast selection was wide and the food was very good. I also recommend to book a massage - it takes place in your pavilion, so it is very convenient, and the massage therapist is really good - my back pain went away for several days! It was a nice touch - getting a tourist book with tickets to nearly all the museums in the area and free bus passes. Puddle boards are free for hotel guests - it is a must do activity when the lake is calm. And there are bikes to rent - we took it for an hour and the price was reasonable.

HungaryThe only confusion was that our room was not directly on the lake (first row), as apparently when we booked they only had rooms left that were with a view to the lake (second row), but it was unclear from booking.com that those are not the ones on the pictures with direct access to the lake.
Amazing location and design, everything was truly impeccable, loved it!

United Kingdombreakfast was good as a meat eater, not sure about other dietary requirements though. We had to ask if there was any vegan options and even though the chef made us an incredible vegan platter it would have been nice to have vegan options as a standard in the buffet and not personally request.
I like the attention we had from the staff especially at the restaurant for dinner as my husband is vegan and everyone was super accommodated to his needs (which was incredible)

United StatesThe food at the bar was pretty disappointing for the cost. I enjoyed the location, view, ambiance and wine, but the food wasn’t something we’d order again. It’s also starting to look a little tired. Not bad, but starting.
Property was great. Location was great, the deck over the water and ladder to jump in was perfect. Bed was super comfortable, layout was great.
