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.).

SwitzerlandStaff could be more friendly and hospitable. When we checked out they didn't even say us good morning and asked us if we had a nice stay although we were almost the only guests. The breakfast is quite expensive and a spa or sauna would have been nice.
Very nice location, close to many hiking routes and the station mont rond where you can have nice food, go up the hill and even a rodelbahn. The hotel is very beautiful and the gourmet restaurant really good. The view is stunning and the rooms and beds are very comfortable.

United KingdomThe price of the food in general, be it evening meal (two restaurants to choose from) or breakfast was overly expensive. Don’t get me wrong, the quality of the food was good but certainly didn’t merit the exorbitant prices. A shame, as if the food were a little more reasonably priced, this would be a 10 out of 10 hotel.
Incredible views from the restaurant of lake Geneva. Room was very well appointed and comfortable. Bathroom excellent, comfy bed. Room pretty good value for money, comparatively.

NetherlandsThe owner of the hotel seems to live far away, or doesn't care about details. Although the rooms are well appointed, many small things are not as they should be (especially given the price of ~EUR 200/ night). Examples: the clock in the room was on winter time, the battery in the scales had died, covid measures were still advertised etc. We also felt uncomfortable 4 people were swarming our table (sometimes at the same time) serving us at dinner. Especially since we were the only guests. At breakfast (EUR 29 per person) we got orange juice from a carton and initially cold coffee. Did they really put the scrambled eggs in the microwave instead of a skillet?
We made a last minute booking due to bad weather conditions. This was the only hotel available and we were very grateful for a place to stay indoors. We seemed to be the only guests and they kept the kitchen open just for us. The rooms are luxurious and comfortable. The restaurant (dinner) was excellent. They offered us a place to dry our tent.

United KingdomI,m pretty sure that, after a long drive, this is the first time I have ever been refused a glass of wine, in a hotel, as a guest, in France, on the grounds that the receptionist was "not a barmaid" OK, so it was 4.30pm. But really???
The view. The room was good. Oh, and did I mention the view ?

LuxembourgPrice quality ratio of food and beverages is totally inadequate. 29€ for breakfast per person per day, 42€ for a Burger, and 80€ for a bottle of Pinot Noir from Alsace are just a few examples of the price mismatches.

ItalyStaff is quite rude, receptionists don’t speak English, they are really not helpful, for example they didn’t even answer when we asked if there is a nice trek for a walk in the area, or when we tried to book on the phone they were really unhelpful. Food at the restaurant panorama is very disappointing, and service is not great. This place would be amazing with nicer staff!
Amazing view, the hotel rooms are really nice and the surroundings are beautiful.

IsraelWe had a terrible room facing the parking and not the lake. The toilet window was facing the logistics trucks. There is no air conditioning in the hotel and we melted in the heat. There is no internet in the area and the Wi-fi was as slow as a snail. We booked for 2 nights and ran away after 1 night, even though they refused to refund us.
Basically - nothing
