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 loved the old-world charm with modern amenities. The staff were friendly and helpful, nothing was a problem and there was plenty of parking with easy access. The view is amazing! And, whilst located high on a hill, access to the old town is easy and pleasant riding on the funicular. We enjoyed our stay very much!

United StatesThe hotel is perfectly situated, offering stunning views of Lucerne. It's very calm, and they provide a complimentary ride on a small train (90 seconds). The staff is excellent and friendly, and the breakfast buffet, which also overlooks Lucerne, is fantastic. The atmosphere is very romantic, and the rooms are beautiful, making it ideal for couples as well as families. Alexander Botero, Front Office Manager, was fantastic and made our stay unforgettable

PolandParking also use by others not hotel customers. Breakfast same type and selection every day ,with limited selection you can still find quality there.
Location and view. Parking in front with a lot of spaces available. Old style equipment but same time modern ,good quality and comfortable to use. Good service and friendly personnel. An extra fan in the room ,balcony with lake view. Park next to hotel - you can live in city but same time a lot of trees around, quiet and relaxing place.

United KingdomThe funicular up the hill wasn’t working, however we were offered a free bus pass.
This place is stunning. The interior is great, and the views over the lake and city are special. Particularly good bar, with great cocktail menu. The restaurant is very fancy and expensive, but the food is good. The rooms are not huge, but very comfortable. The building is iconic, and has a real wow factor.

United StatesThis hotel is away from the old town area but this is something I knew before I booked the hotel. We just used Uber to go back and forth. The biggest disappointment was that the funicular was not available because of maintenance.
Excellent, historic hotel with a great, friendly staff; we had booked a room with a balcony and a view, and were very happy with the room.

KazakhstanThere was no kettle and tea in the room, which is common even in other less expensive hotels. Also, we missed slippers and some hygiene items such as toothbrushes and toothpaste, which we expected from a hotel of this level. The price for a room was pretty high, but I guess it's quite normal for Switzerland.
it was the best view from the window we have ever had. Breakfast was excellent. The hotel room was quite bright and comfortable, with a large balcony and a beautiful view.

The view was amazing. We ate breakfast every morning and it was perfect. We had dinner in the Lounge and it was the best meal we had on our trip. Everyone was so nice and patient with us because we only speak English. The Hotel was unique and beautiful. I'm so glad we chose it!

United StatesPricey, even by Paris standards, but then again Switzerland appears to be one of the most expensive countries in Europe. And, at least, we received excellent accommodations, views, and service for our money.
The perfect spot for a celebratory trip to the homeland of my ancestors. Quite expensive, but worth it. The hillside location affords a spectacular view of the city, lake, and snow-covered mountains - especially lovely from our spacious terrace. The room and bedding were superbly comfortable and bathed in natural light from huge windows and French door. The fridge was re-stocked daily with water, juice, and beer - gratis. The breakfast buffet was extensive and delicious. Wonderful cheeses, cold cuts, lax, yogurt, fruit, fresh juices, absolutely wonderful pastries, croissants, and various breads, extensive hot items - eggs, sausage, pancakes and omelets to order. Excellent for dinner as well. From the cheerful and helpful driver who picked us up at the train station and then delivered our luggage to the room - to the attentive chamber maids - to the welcoming front desk staff to the marvelous restaurant servers, the hotel's SERVICE went above and beyond. Six stars! Just one example: a front desk clerk who, on a Saturday evening, after hours when no businesses were answering their phones, managed to track down a chauffer's private cell phone to arrange a car to the Zurich airport the next morning. Despite the chilly and cloudy weather, our stay at Chateau Gutsch was a joy and we hope to return soon.

SwitzerlandWe will be happier with softer and more fluffy towels and bathrobes on our next visit :-)
The impressive historic building is well taken care of. Our room with a view and balcony was in excellent condition, and the bed was comfortable. We enjoyed a small but thorough selection of the complimentary mini-bar. We were pleasantly surprised with how the old-looking window isolates outside noise well. The reception team was very tentative, and the barman was superb. After enjoying the evening concert at KKL, the late-night snacks and choices of cocktail selection easily exceeded our expectations. Due to work on the funicular, the shuttle bus service was very useful, and the drivers were friendly, too. Overall, we are delighted and are already looking at availabilities for future concert dates.
