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.).

SwitzerlandWe are really good sleepers but the room was extremely noisy from the kitchen/restaurant. If we had booked more than one night, we would have requested another room. The bed was uncomfortable, it really needs a new mattress. The bedding had too strong laundry detergent smell.
The hotel has a great location. The staff was friendly and helpful, the room was clean and big enough for a one night stay. We loved the cozy atmosphere of the hotel. The breakfast was local and fresh but the selection could be better.

PolandI do not remember when was the last time I gave 10 in all categories (and I travel a lot), but this place and its team really deserve it. Warm & cosy (even fire on the fire place), with excellent food and friendly staff... this place exceeded our expectations and became one of the highlights of the trip. Once again THANK YOU for the stay :)

The hotel is beautiful. The bedroom was spacious and the beds were super comfortable! The location is just magical, it even snowed, and the staff was super friendly. The breakfast is very versatile too. There is a shared room with a fireplace and free tea and coffee which is a delight. A great environment to unwind.

I recently had the pleasure of a 3-night stay at this delightful hotel in Gruyères, and it exceeded all expectations. Upon my late arrival, Emilie warmly welcomed me, making me feel instantly at home. She graciously provided a tour of the hotel, introducing me to the charming resident cat, "Peluche." The room, spacious and tastefully decorated, boasted a generously comfortable double bed. The bathroom featured herbal and plant-based toiletries, adding a lovely touch. The common area with an open fire provided a cozy retreat in the evenings, and the complimentary 24/7 coffee machine was a thoughtful perk. Transforming into a breakfast haven in the morning, it offered a diverse spread, including a delicious homemade cake. Guillaume's swift and diligent service during a necessary room change on the second night showcased the staff's commitment to guest satisfaction. The second room, with its stunning mountain views, mirrored the comfort of the first. Guillaume's recommendations for nearby skiing options for children were greatly appreciated. The culinary experience, highlighted by a delightful dinner featuring cheese fondue and white wine, was exceptional. The entire staff consistently exhibited kindness and a willingness to assist, enhancing the overall hospitality. I eagerly anticipate a return visit in 2024 and extend my heartfelt thanks to the entire team for crafting a truly memorable stay.

SwitzerlandFor the love of esthetics, please change the shower curtain. It's moldy, falls apart and doesn't make you want to get into the bath at all. Come on guys, a small investment can improve the impression massively!
Very friendly staff, good restaurant with authentic cuisine. As a fan of historic features and furniture, I found the room quite elegant with a French corbeille bed. The building itself is from 1653 and chas a lot of charm.

United StatesMore electrical outlets but seeing that it is over 300 years old can't really fault the property. Luggage to car situation is a little rough. You can drive to the front of the hotel but we didn't find that out until we were checking out.
The view from our room was spectacular. We laid in bed and stared at the alps in all their glory. Cute bathroom with all needed amenities. Very clean and cozy. This place is in amazing shape for how old it is (300 years plus). The outside property was so nice. We found interesting things at every turn. Views of the castle from every angle. The area at the top of the hill would be perfect for a wedding. Staff was warm and helpful and the food was really good. Loved their was a lift as I had ALOT of luggage.
