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.).

SwitzerlandBreakfast was nice, but breakfast room a bit less cozy.
We had a nice room which had recently be renovated, aircon worked, also our room faced to the back - so it was overall pretty quiet (it is in the City still). Location was great, very central. We parked in front, 25 CHF a day, which is a lot cheaper than surrounding parking lots. Only limited parking spaces available so I recommend writing the hotel in advance and reserve a parking if you need it. Staff was super nice.

RussiaMy son is allergic to egg yolk. As we needed some warm food for him I kindly asked for a ONE fried egg for him. One! But lady showed me the scrambled eggs done. I explained the problem. She hasn’t even listen to me and with no no no simply disappeared in the kitchen 🤦♀️🤷♀️ The tables we not cleaned after guests finished their breakfast - and the breakfast was very very poor. For 350euro per night plus 25 for parking plus city tax for the simple room with no view with such poor breakfast and such attitude to clients I can’t recommend this place , sorry
Location is very good

SwitzerlandBathroom flooded twice, drainage in shower needed cleaning or too small (rain shower head). Hotel has no lounge to rest, just breakfast room which can get pretty crowded. Some local choices at breakfast buffet would have spiced it up.
Nice, modern furnished junior suite, well isolated towards the main road, right at Lugano Centro main bus terminal, free bus pass for the length of our stay. Free piccolo sparkling wine. Breakfast buffet was good, many choices.

PortugalIf I really had to mention something negative, I'd say that probably the breakfast could offer a bit more in terms of variety of options (especially the sweet options typical of an Italian breakfast). But this is really a minor aspect as the options offered were anyway very good, and considering the price and location of the hotel, this aspect did not bother us at all.
This is a perfect hotel for a visit to Lugano. Very centrally located, it provides excellent facilities. The staff is very friendly. Overall a very nice experience and I would definitely recommend the hotel to anybody visiting Lugano.

RomaniaAlthough we did understand that it is a three star hotel and accepted the fact that there are also better or premium rooms, the cleanliness could have been improved and our stat could have been more comfortable. It was okay, not dirty but the cleaning staff could be more attentive with the cleaning as there were strands of hair on the mattress, the floor and in the bathroom. Also the duvet, bed covers, pillow covers were visible worn (even if they were washed) - a new set or upgrade would be necessary. The pillows also were torn and wore out. Now, we could have talked to the receptionist but we didn’t, as we found it difficult to communicate in english and feared we wouldn’t have understood ourselves. Also, one suggestion: some ambiance (music) at the breakfast area could be a good idea and bring a nice touch :)
The location was the best. Food was okay. Serving at breakfast is nice.

BelgiumNoisy at night. The breakfast was extremely disappointing with little choice and only the cheapest products. Even the coffee was bad. It felt like a cheap hostel and it considerably diminished the overall stay. We thought we were paying a bit more for a good breakfast included but this was not at all the case.
