Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

Strange but interesting location set in a beautiful park grounds. The room was beautifully presented given the Bauhaus styling.

EgyptApparently this hotel is placed in a very luxurious district where most people have cars, however for a tourist who wants to actually check Ticino, this location is very unpractical, getting up and down the hotel is a very hectic job, taking more than 400 steps up and down! Or u take a taxi and this will cost u a fortune. Providing a shuttle bus every couple of hours can solve this easily. 2- the room was spacious and clean but still very smelly! I even tried to wipe the floor myself but the smell wouldn’t go away. 3- There is no AC in the room, so opening the window might cause insects and flies to enter the room, there is no insects filter. 4- The pillows are too soft to actually do their function. They need to be changed. 5- the room decoration is a bit on the poor side. A couple of paintings would give it a soul.
My room was in the main building with a spectacular lake view, and that alone should justify the fairly higher price of the room. The breakfast was fair, although it is the same menu everyday without any change, but it was sufficient and the cheese was very delicious! The a la carta restaurant was very classy and the food was great especially with the view of the lake. A tip, u can go to the fourth floor and enjoy even a better view of the lake where it is very peaceful! The staff was very helpful and friendly and always cheerful!

SwitzerlandWe thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the historic Hotel Monte Verità in Ascona. Surrounded by beautiful lush vegetation and steeped in the rich history of the colony, the hotel offers a unique and serene atmosphere. Its proximity to Ascona allowed us to fully enjoy the vibrant Jazz Festival for three days, making our visit even more special. A perfect blend of nature, history, and culture, Hotel Monte Verità is an enchanting retreat that we highly recommend.

Czech RepublicThe area around the hotel was very busy from early morning - grass cutting, supply etc. Breakfast was average, for the high price of the accommodation we probably expected something more.
Accommodation is in a beautiful house from the Bauhaus era. The room was nice and clean with a large balcony with a magnificent view of the lake. The staff was nice.

SwitzerlandBecause of the park-like setting you will share this space with sociable Moskitos, so it's best to bring repellent. And of course, as others commented, the building structure is from the Bauhaus era, which was way before soundproofing became common practice. So bring your earbuds, just in case.
This is a place where you will enjoy a very special, positive energy, in a setting with history and culture. You will be spoiled by the restaurant's offering of mouth-watering vegetarian and other dishes and will have breakfast on the large terrace, overlooking the lake. If I had to create or manage a hotel, this is close to what it would look like 🙏
