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.).

SingaporeThe shower cubicle is transparent and in the corner of the room, well it’s shown in the picture without ambiguity, it can be inconvenient for who wants privacy.
Very well maintained for such a small family hotel. Comfortable although its renovation is a bit old.

United KingdomAmazing helpful staff and excellent location which was close to all local amenities i.e. shops, restaurants, local bakery and tram stop is just one minute walking distance from the hotel. The hotel was spotless clean, my room was cleaned to a high standard everyday. I booked this trip for my birthday. First I was hesitant to book a single room as I thought it may be too small (thinking about the UK hotels single room size), however after arriving all my doubts vanished. It has all the facilities one person needs except toilet & shower, i.e. it has wardrobe, microwave, cutleries, kettle, sink, tv, desk & chair (where I was working in the evenings after my trip to catch up with my workload) & etc. Toilet & shower were shared, however during my stay I was the only one using the toilet just myself and regarding shower I did not even notice someone was using it either. Both were spotless clean. The hotel does not offer breakfast, however there are plenty options such as local bakery or Freytag where you can have amazing breakfast (there also make various fresh tasty sandwiches + cakes) which is less than 5 minute walking distance from the hotel. The hotel staff were super helpful, they have a good attention to detail too as they gave me a birthday card & chocolate which I did not expect - it was thoughtful of them. They take good care of their guests. I would like to thank them for hosting me and thank especially Samantha for being so helpful, giving advices, recommendations and explaining the area and places to visit in so much detailed way. I have never experienced anywhere such an excellent customer service and care of hotel staff about their guests before. I will definitely come back to this place again when I am in Zurich and recommend this place to others 😊

United StatesThe laundry facility for the hotel rooms are first-rate but be aware that you will need to book access to the laundry and that it is an additional charge.
This is a friendly, family run establishment. The hosts are very welcoming and very helpful in providing information about their city and their neighboorhood. The hotel is steps away from the tram stop which provides you rapid access to the city. If we return to Zurich, we would try to stay here again.

CanadaOnly difficulty for some people is that there was no elevator. Also, from the main train station I knew which tram to take but had difficulty finding where it was located outside the train station. Couldn't find an info desk and had to ask a local.
Excellent room (they even gave me a free upgrade to a larger room although it wasn't necessary)--comfy bed, microwave and fridge with free water and a beer in it, nice shower, motion sensor nightlight in the bathroom, extra clean, helpful staff. The location was great--2 blocks from the lake with path to the old town) and right by a tram stop and only 2 tram stops from a train station that takes you to the airport. A super stay and I would stay there again. Only drawback was no elevator, but they gave me a choice of ground floor room or second floor.

The two bedroom apartments are very spacious and thoughtfully decorated. The location is superb. The tram to the city centre (7 minutes) is right outside. The lake is a short walk (5 minutes) away. The area is vibrant, but not too busy. Lots of lovely restaurants, cafes, bars, and bakeries, in very close proximity. The proprietors are extremely helpful and very friendly people.We have stayed here several times before and love it.

AustriaFor me it was not a problem at all, but i guess elderly people or people with special needs could have a problem with the stairs (I think there was no elevator).
The owner of the hotel was lovely and the hotel itself was very clean, cozy and the location couldn't be better situated. I chose the economy room with the shared bathroom (as described on the website) and was very pleased with my choice. The toilet and shower that where shared were very clean and I never even met another guest using the shower - so no wait time at all. The room is equipped with a sink, a hairdryer, a bathrobe, a microwave, a small fridge, a ventilator for hot summer nights and an adapter for those who forgot that Switzerland has different power outlets than e.g. austria (I'm speaking of myself.. I forgot that 😅). There is a busstation right in front of the hotel and it's only a short walk by foot to the lake. All in all it was a great stay and I'm looking forward to visiting the Aparthotel from family Hugenschmidt again 😊

United StatesIt was nice to have baby items for our toddler (like a high chair, some toys and the crib), but the 15 CHF per day (not per night) was on the expensive side, IMO.
The location was great. We were travelling with our toddler, so it was nice to be near the lake, some playgrounds, and bakeries. Good supermarket nearby too. It was also near the light rail transit line. The property was super clean, nice, and well equipped. Our apartment was also very quiet, and we were on the ground floor.
