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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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.).

We stayed one night with my husband and we are very satisfied. The location of the hotel is perfect just in front of the lake, it was easy to find and clean. We had the room number one (view on the train station), but the quality of the room VS price is really good.

United KingdomThe stairs to access the bedrooms from the restaurant have timer-controlled lights, which are a bit alarming at first but ok once you’re used to them. There was a kettle (a rarity!) in our room, although the cable didn’t seem to fit the socket very well and needed wiggling about to work, so we used it and then unplugged it. My Italian wasn’t up to explaining that to the staff.
The restaurant/hotel staff were very helpful, including letting us leave our luggage in the restaurant on our last day. The balcony, with the French doors, table & chairs and a wonderful lake view, made the room much more appealing than a rear one would have been. The twin beds were comfortable and the bathroom, although a little old-fashioned, was perfectly fine. Breakfast was very good, and so were the pizzas. It’s located beside the lake and only a 5 minute walk to the station.

United KingdomThe bathroom was very tired and in need of a makeover. There was a flimsy shower curtain which stuck to you and sent shower water over the floor unless you were very careful.
Superb balcony with glorious views over the lakes and mountains. The location was excellent, just behind the station and maybe half a mile from the old town centre Our host looked after us very well, especially as I have coeliac disease and need gluten free products for breakfast. There was a lovely friendly atmosphere at the hotel.

SwitzerlandLow pressure in shower, partly blocked sink. We mentioned this to the manager who shrugged and said that the rooms will be renovated soon! Didn´t help us, or future guests who stay before the renovation, when the hotel will certainly be more expensive! Basically, it´s a good value hotel, in a super location, with a good breakfast, just needs the above points attended to. Then I would give a 10 (if the manager was friendlier!).
Location, good value, clean.

United KingdomNot problematic enough to spoil the stay: * Shower area small and just a curtain so difficult to avoid floor getting wet and/or curtain clinging * Hot water not always available. * Fairly limited options for breakfast
Friendly and helpful staff, great location beside the lake and very close to the train station. Room/bathroom and communal areas were clean. Comfortable bed. Mini fridge in the room was very handy. Coffee machine a bonus. Small balcony so could sit outside. Metal shutter could be lowered to help block light from the room. Not much noise disturbance from other guests. Having the option to eat breakfast outside was lovely. Once you have your key, you can come and go with ease as there is a rear door. (Main entrance to the reception is through the restaurant on the ground floor which is a little disconcerting but most people were eating outside when I arrived).

AustraliaWe really enjoyed our three nights at Al Pozz. While the room is nothing special, it is comfortable, but the best part was the view from the lovely little balcony. Staff were very friendly and breakfast is served at the front of the hotel to take advantage of the view. The hotel is only a short walk to the train station, and has easy access to the lakeside walking path. We had dinner at the hotel restaurant across the road on the lake and received excellent service and a decent pizza.

United StatesOur only small suggestion would be to get heavier shower curtain that wouldn’t cling while taking a shower. ;)
We loved the location of this property. Waterfront out the front of the building and train station across the street and a few yards down from the back exit. This was not a problem because the trains are quiet and no loitering folks like at some stations. It was a great convenience to jump on the train so close. We were also a five minute walk from the funicular up the mountain. The staff was very friendly at breakfast and we had a lovely dinner at the restaurant which has tables on the lakefront. The owner and his wife were very eager to help with all our inquiries which we truly appreciated. Their suggestions made our stay much better than we had expected.
