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.).

SwitzerlandThe room was VERY basic, the beds slightly hard and uncomfortable, but this is more a swiss thing than anything else. No aircon, which i imagine in summer must be difficult to deal with, but it was fine for a September visit and there is also a fan. No fridge.
Superb location, excellent value for money, the best views in Ascona. Nice hotel itself and nice staff.

AustraliaNot so much about the property but as smoking is allowed on the balconies, as a non-smoker cigarette smoke wafted up from other balconies and into my bedroom. Disappointing to sometimes have to close balcony door and not be able to go outside to enjoy the amazing view. As I say more a social problem than a hotel problem but worth mentioning.
Very friendly reception staff. Lakeside location with balcony overlooking lake. Has a lift.

GuernseyThe room was bijou no where to put suitcases for example. The room is old fashioned. The bathroom tiny no where to put your bits and bob's. This isn't a dislike but just a heads up. Do not expect the room to be boutique. It was adequate and I believe it is reflected in the price.
Location was perfect on the lakefront. Breakfast was wonderful. The restaurant is good and has plenty of choice. The staff were very helpful and friendly. The view from our room was perfect. Looking into the lake. We took parking from the hotel. 7 minutes walk to the Migros underground carpark. €20 a day.

PolandThe room is not air-conditioned. There is only an electric fan in the room. I wouldn't recommend staying there if the temperature is over 30 degrees. Even for a single person, the room was too compact.
First of all, the hotel's localisation is at the top. The direct view of the Lago Maggiore and the lake promenade surpasses some shortcomings of the room itself. There is a balcony with a table and chair to rest and gaze at the spectacular mountains. The bathroom is well-furnished. Noteworthy, there is a shower cabin, not just a curtain, as it happens. The room is generally clean, although there were betters solutions than a carpet.

SingaporeBe very carefull with room description on booking .com.... As I expected a room with balcony ( originally reserved ) but when I added on the Breakfast it cancelled the balcony and the room was booked with a view but no Balcony! The whole purpose of this hotel ( or these hotels...there are 3 one next to each others ) is tohavw thw balcony and the view. We were offered to stay in Faro hotel with no aircon no lift but a balcony for50 euros extra per night! Very hot and stuffy room due to stormy weather and mattresses and pillows over soft. Breakfast included is worth, but the restaurants linked to the 3 hotels are very overpriced with extremely slow service.
The view from the room is very beautiful FROM the balcony.. Staff is quite friendly dispite many little incidents with bookings and Internet connection. Yet Ascona is a very chic and picturesque place to stay. The hotel is right in the center of it by the lake and it is worth the experience.

Amazing location, right next to city center. I had a room with a balcony directly overlooking the lake! The breakfast was well-stocked and delicious. The staff were all very helpful.

SwitzerlandQuite noisy being above the terraces of the restaurants. People chatting is OK, but there's a lady playing the violin with a speaker, blasting the same 3 cheesy songs over and over again it's VERY annoying. Rooms are quite small and outdated, would be nice to renovate a bit Shower water temperature sometimes acts weird
Beautiful view of the lake with nothing in-between Very friendly and helpful personnel The restaurant next door (al Pontile) is fantastic and you get a discount Location couldn't be better
