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.).

FinlandWe loved the place from the very first moment. The interior of the room was relaxing and the air was as fresh as the summer breeze. The views to the Lake Thun, to mountains and to the city were amazing... the best you can imagine. Good breakfast with good view to the city. Bread was best of the year so far. We have already made a new reservation.

AustraliaWhat is there not to like about staying up the top of a castle???
The room was lovely. Staying at the top of a castle was pretty magical, it was like being in afiarytale! Location is also great, it's right in the middle of town (and what a beautiful town!). Also really appreciated the lift from the train station.

United StatesBecause it's in the Alstadt, Old Town, it's a lot of cobblestone path- just good to be aware of when travelling with rolling luggage
Bit of a walk from the train station (heads up, there's an elevator!) (15min with luggage? About 10 otherwise). Staff were very friendly and accommodating. Delicious breakfast. An option to sauna for an hour was available, although I ran out of time before I could experience it.

United StatesThere was no communication from the hotel staff before our arrival. It would have been nice from them to give us a heads up on how to get to the castle and let us know that there was access to an elevator, as well as a courtesy shuttle to pick us up from the train station. Unfortunately, we did not know that and therefore, we had to climb about 200 steps with luggage to get there. It was not a pleasant experience at all.
Staying in the tower room was a once in a lifetime experience! We had dinner at the castle’s restaurant and the food as well as the service was excellent.

SwitzerlandSome water instead of the over-sweet soft drinks in the room would have been much appreciated.
The hotel, with its newly renovated rooms, is located in a veritable castle, overlooking Thun. The rooms by themselves are perhaps a little bit on the small side, but they are comfortably furnished, and a few (very sugary) soft-drinks were provided to us in the minibar for free. One should note that there is only a single room in the entire place which features a view; and the latter is magnificent. The spa area, which can be reserved for a private time slot, is top notch for a boutique hotel, containing a Finish sauna, a steam room, and a whirpool, all very modern and clean, with lots of glass. In the evening we tried the restaurant, which serves very solid "castle specialities" (on the heavy side) together with a few little gems (such as the home-marinated "alpine salmon"). The staff is friendly and proactive; they were eager to make our stay a nice one. A useful detail to note is that the castle museum, which gives access to the towers, is only open on Sundays. Parking is available (at a shared fee) in the public garage at the foot of the hill, with an elevator leading from there almost directly to the premises.
