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, Iceland, Australia, Greece, Brazil and North Carolina. For properties in these regions, 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.).

United KingdomBreakfast was not very good. We went in at around nine o clock to find that there was only scraps of meat and cheese left with no one around to ask to replenish, so would not have been worth the 17CHF. So we ate out for breakfast. Other that that good, clean hotel in a convenient location.
Location is great directly opposite the main train station, but quiet and central for all locations.

New ZealandStaff were excellent, room was clean, light and spacious, bed was super comfy. No problems with our bicycles left in the reception area. We had a fridge in our room which we didn’t expect, and while there’s a coffee machine at reception, we were lent a kettle. Very happy. Would definitely stay here again. We usually avoid staying near major train station as it can be a bit rough, but area felt safe.

United KingdomSome rooms open right into the breakfast area which can feel a bit odd, but it worked fine in the end. The hotel is expensive in UK terms, but everywhere is expensive in Geneva. For what we needed (a central hotel for one night) it worked well really.
The location of this hotel is great if you need to be central and don't have much time to see Geneva. The rooms are basic but the bed was really comfy. The room we were in opened right into the breakfast area which felt a little exposing, but it was fine in the end and not too much noise from the main area. Considering this hotel is opposite the main station we did not hear any noise from outside. Staff were very friendly and breakfast had a good mix of cheese, meats, breads, boiled eggs, fruit and cereal.

IndiaNothing to dislike. It was all good.
The room was very spacious, ventilated, clean and had a nice balcony. I had chosen a room with external private bathroom. The bathroom was just opposite the room and it also was quite spacious and well appointed. Since my room was well inside a corridor, I did not have much discomfort in traipsing around from room to bathroom. The room maintenance was also good. One of the best points is the location, it is just opposite to the railway station and it is far away the cheaper of the hotels in same location. There is a gourmet burger shop near to the hotel, which provided excellent varieties of burgers. You must try the cranberry and Mexicana burgers from there.

RussiaThere is no air conditioning in the room and the fan is quite noisy. It is also noisy if the windows are open. We were in the summer, at +33 degrees Celsius and it was a bit of a problem.
A great option if you need to stay for one night: the hotel is right in front of the railway station. An inexpensive, hearty breakfast is served at the hotel, although sometimes you need to wait for the staff to update some dishes. You can also leave your luggage for storage after checkout.

AustraliaThe room does not have any airconditioning or ventilation, and the street outside is very noisy, so it is a choice either to sweat with stuffed air or no sleep at all. Unfortunately, I did not have ear plugs that could have helped.
The hotel is right near the train station so it is easy to get to and from airport, like 20 minutes total travel probably. Geneva is small city, so it is not problem to get everywhere by foot from the hotel, you can also catch a tram. Room is ok, the bathroom was in the corridor 2 meters away from the entrance so fine too. Overall it is ok for 1 night stay.

AustraliaIn the room, there were a few small maintenance issues that needed addressing. Also, it was a little hot as there is no air conditioning. A fan in the room would have helped.

I needed a place to stay overnight between the trains and it served the purpose perfectly. Big room, comfy bed. Other reviews are correct, it’s very noisy when the window is open and you can’t keep it closed because there is no A/C. Earplugs worked for me.
