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.).

SwitzerlandNo View & Limited Privacy as room looks out onto walls of adjacent building and windows are directly facing those opposite, had to keep curtains drawn throughout stay. Room was quite hot & stuffy in summer but there's AC so not a big issue. The bustling town square got rather rowdy on weekends but closing the windows helped to shut out some of the Noise - light sleepers might need ear plugs.
Hotel conveniently located in main square of Old Town, walking distance to most attractions such as Rapperswil Castle, Lindenhof Deer Park and Capuchin Rose Gardens. Single Room was clean, spacious and simply furnished. Hotel has Lift which is much appreciated when staying on higher floors. The kind lady at Reception spoke fluent English and was most helpful with providing sightseeing & travel info.

United KingdomThe single room was basic with no view. Usually I would say get a front facing room of the square but at the moment it seems that extensive work is being carried out at the Church above the hotel and they are using the square in front of the hotel to deposit rubble into a skip. Really loud during working hours , started at 8 , so I wouldn’t suggest a front room at moment. will be ok when completed I guess. Also the mattress was uncomfortable , seemed quite thin. Breakfast basic but fine , all you needed really and attentive service.
The hotel is in a square in the centre of old part of the town. ideal position near restaurants shops and lots of interesting things to see. Had some food in the restaurant , it was busy and the food and service was good. Had a side facing room that looked out over the wall of the building next door. Reception staff really nice and friendly which was a real positive.

United KingdomThere was nothing we didn't like about the hotel, I am confident that if there was, it would have been corrected immediately.
We loved the friendliness and attentiveness of all the staff. The position of the hotel is perfect, Rapperswil has a beautiful historic old part and Hotel Jakob could not be in a better position. The hotel has some quirky contemporary elements and decor that make it a fun and interesting place to stay. The lunch and dinners were exceptional, the cocktails were magnificent. However, there are so many superb restaurants that you can easily walk to if you want to change scenery.

SwitzerlandMaybe a kettle , and some tea bags in the room.. but I got one when I asked. Thanks again.
The service was excellent, and very friendly . The manager and front office personal were reall friendly,helpful, and provided some good tips about Rapperswil. I was given a kettle and some tea bags for my room... this was a wonderful plus. The restaurant looked very busy in the evening, which was a good sign. And breakfast the next morning completed my opinion that I`d made a good choice in staying there. On checking out, I knew,.. I`ll be coming back.Thanks again for the great stay.
