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.).

LuxembourgAs it was just an over night stop we booked a small room. Would not recommend to do that. The bathroom needs renovation, the shower is so small my husband didn't fit in. The room is in the attic and only has a small roof window. It was very hot to sleep and the AC was very loud and insufficient. And we couldn't leave the window opened through the night because of the announced rain. Had a really bad night sleep. Would recommend to book a bigger room.
Just a perfect location next time to the lake. Beautiful views. Very good restaurant and lovely staff. Dog friendly. Multilingual staff.

United KingdomNot much to not like.
The location of the small hotel was just perfect, right on the edge of the lake. There are a few small bars near the hotel but the hotel has an excellent restaurant, although the restaurant was quite expensive, but maybe just Switzerland prices. The rooms were a tiny bid old fashioned but had character nevertheless.

United KingdomRoom-took last available room as last minute booking-family room in eaves of roof so lots of ducking down! AC unit old/noisy & noise from m/way heard. But it was fine for one night. Parking-pot luck if you get a space (we did!).
Location-Very close to A2 motorway which is perfect en route to Italy from U.K. right on lake in cute small town too. Restaurant-good home style food & excellent wine list. Couple of veggie options. Staff v good. Quaint old building/facilities so if you want new/modern this isn’t for you. Has character.

United KingdomThis hotel was one of two I selected for overnight stops whilst driving from central Italy back to the UK. It has very easy access to and from the main highway. Bissone is a pleasant little town on the southern edge of lake Lugano and Albergo Ristorante La Palma has a terrace right on the shore-line with attractive views. All hotel / restaurant staff were super friendly and helpful and multi-lingual. The restaurant has a good menu and good wines. It is expensive but I wasn't looking to eat elsewhere after a long drive. Metered parking is available off the street directly outside the hotel. My room had a Juliet balcony with views over the lake and the street.

LuxembourgThe rooms need renovation. You can hear the traffic on the street pretty well, with closed windows. The heating in the bathroom could not be shut off and the shower cabin was dirty on the inside, obviously no cleaning since months in the rails. Bed not very comfortable: you can feel the springs in the bed mattras.
Easy parking, nice location at the lake. Great breakfast with fresh food. Beautiful view. Friendly staff.

Although our dinner was expensive, it was fantastic and eating on the terrace overlooking the lake made it all the more special.

United KingdomParking was a bit of a problem - there are no dedicated hotel parking spaces and you have to pay. As the hotel was next to the entrance to the lovely public Lido, the car park was always really busy. I'm guessing it wouldn't be quite so busy at other times of the year.
The hotel position right on the shore of Lake Lugano is beautiful and easy to reach from the motorway close by. There is a lovely flat footpath from the hotel into the small town where you can enjoy the spectacular scenery and abundant wildlife. There is also a ferry service nearby where you can take trips to visit other towns around this beautiful lake. The hotel restaurant is in a great location where you can eat outside while watching the sunset. For us vegetarians, there wasn't a great deal of choice on the menu but it was sufficient for our two night stay, however the continental breakfast was very good. The staff were very friendly and most of them spoke several languages including English.
