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...).

SwitzerlandThe location of the hotel is one of the positive points. The building itself is very old as well as furniture so if you like antiques style, the hotel suits your stay. Only very minimum amenities are provided.

AustraliaNo complaints
The staff were very helpful with local advice such as using the funicular for a one minute journey to the old town. The location was ideal for train travellers as it was a short walk from the train station. Breakfast was very good value with many options. The room was large and spacious with a balcony.

HungaryThe road is very loud, and unfortunately the room haven't had enough insulation to moderate that noise too much. I got used to it by the end of the day, and I could sleep fine, although it was a bit disturbing.
The location is excellent from the train station. It took two shots to find the optimal way there, but it worth the sweat. The hotel's staff is very kind and friendly. The room was spacious and had enough space to settle. I also liked the bathroom, actually it had a bathtub, and had a good hot water. The room had a balcony and provided view to the mountains. The breakfast was nice. Even if it was noisy, it was nice to sit outside on the balcony, enjoying the sunshine. There is a very good thai takeaway place just about ten steps from the hotel. They had Radio Swiss Jazz to listen to.

United KingdomThe hotel felt a little dingy, rather like stepping back 30 years or so. Our room was a little musty with old, wooden furniture but perfectly clean.
We had a helpful reception from the member of staff on duty. The hotel is very convenient for the station, just five minutes' walk away.

SwitzerlandIt would be nice if there was some more shower gel/shampoo in the bathroom. There were two tiny sachets which is ok but not really enough to wash your hair and body. This is a minor complaint - we were traveling very light and didn't bring many toiletries with us.
The staff were very friendly, the location was excellent (very close to the train station), breakfast was decent and it was very clean. When we came back after a long day of mountain biking to collect our bags the member of staff working was super friendly, gave us some snacks and got us water. There was a safe location to store our bikes.
