Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 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...).

CanadaThey rented out the party room on Saturday night and I had to listen to very loud music till 11pm, because it is an older place it isn’t very sound proof but that’s all the more reason not to have a party room in a very top end hotel.
Location was amazing, the castle was beautiful and comfortable.

United KingdomThe room, the wallpaper, curtains and headboard all matched and the view from the window was stunning.
This was return trip after almost 40 years, I worked there as a student in 1985. The hotel has had a complete renovation and looks amazing. Only slight disappointment was the the outdoor pool had gone.

IrelandThe meal (dinner). We were disappointed with our choice 'chateaubriand'...we always select this when we see it on the menu and are normally delighted. In this case sadly the Chef's choice of Bernaise sauce didn't work for me...where did all the beef juice go??? In my expectation not traditional and certainly not 'in synch' with the idea of 'zero waste'. And the meat was requested to be served 'over-medium'...instead we were served under-medium...no blood BUT too undercooked for our stabdard of medium...thats the only criticism we experienced. G
Staff were excellent...especially Alexander. Well done...so attentive and helpful.

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 States of AmericaThe 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 States of AmericaThis 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.
