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.).

United StatesBreakfast is from 0800-1000; this isn't horrible, but I like to get an earlier start to my day so a little earlier would have been nice
The property is very nice, everything seems to have been renovated inside and was very clean and modern. Breakfast had the typical selection of bread, cheese, meat, yogurt and fruit. I was also able to drop off my bag for storage earlier in the day before checkin while I went to do Aare Gorge and another adventure. Its also nice to be able to cross the road and access the waterfront which is lovely to walk around at night.

United KingdomProperty was amazing- I would have like more variety of food served in the restaurant for vegetarians, was hoping to try local food but only available if you were a meat eater. The prices for evening meal was very expensive, especially the wine which was average. But think this would be the same everywhere.
Beautiful location and really comfortable room and bed. Breakfast was perfect, lots of variety and perfect start to the day. Staff were lovely and very attentive and very friendly. Felt very welcome. Would recommend to friends and family.

Super location, great facilities, exceptionally clean, on site restaurant and lovely staff also perfect for bikers with the amazing Swiss roads and passes so close and safe and secure bike parking. The lady who greeted me on arrival very kindly said we could park in the bicycle shed in the hotels private car park (accessed up a ramp next to the hotel) which was perfect for our bikes. The lift was great too saved hauling our bike kit upstairs - very welcome after a long hot bike ride. Food and service in the restaurant was excellent.

United KingdomA kettle in the room would have been great because we like to have a cup of tea in the mornings and afternoon. We were told that we could go to the kitchen in the morning to get tea and on the weekdays this worked well apart from having to dress to go downstairs and then carry a tray upstairs. But at the weekend staff arrived later and after going downstairs multiple times to see if anyone had arrived I decided it was too close to breakfast time and the staff would be too busy to give me tea.
We had a room with doors opening on to a balcony. The view was so beautiful. The room was comfortable and very clean. Breakfast was basic but OK with a lovely fresh fruit salad and nice bread. The evening meals were good, the restaurant was packed all day every day but the staff were so efficient and dealt with it well.

Netherlands- At least a kettle would be nice in the room. Especially if you have small kids sleeping in the room you cannot leave them for some warm drinks.
The lady who helped with check in check out and also for breakfast was very friendly. We arrived early and she just let us park our car there without hesitation.
