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.).

AustraliaBathroom a little stuffy as no exhaust fan - or it wasn’t working.
Beautiful hotel with great decor that was natural and well designed for the premises. A really nice vibe. The outdoor garden/bar was relaxing and the breakfast superb. Great location - close to everything but also quiet. Good size room and comfortable beds. Friendly, helpful staff. Would definitely stay there again and recommend it.

View from room is superb. Unbeatable view of the Matterhorn directly from room. Excellent staff with super friendly and helpful manner. Front desk staff of all shifts (morning, afternoon, night) were surprisingly friendly and helpful. Separate toilet and shower. Shower gel and shampoo are great. Excellent sourdough reads were made heartily from the in-house bakery. Breakfast area is clean and comfortable.

United KingdomMy only complaint is that there was a fair amount of noise from the neighbouring suites. Since it's a wood building, it can be a problem if you're a light sleeper, but I imagine every building in the area is made of wood and has the same issue. Nothing some earplugs or AirPods can't fix :)
The views and location were great, staff were very friendly, breakfast was great.

TurkeyThe Rex hotel is the best hotel we stayed overall Switzerland. The staff is really helpful and friendly, more than helpful with everything. Check-in is quite convenient and the lobby is well decorated and spacious. Chilling at the garden, relaxing in the spa area was amazing. The experience shower is a must-try as well. The pool is rather big. They have shuttle service from and to the train station and they are always at your convenience. Special thanks to Robin, Rafaela and our shuttle driver for being amazing people. Thank you so much Robin for recommending us the Stockhorn restaurant, we had the best cote du boeuf ever! Fabulous hotel with fantastic people. Fully recommend!

SingaporeReally have noting to complain.
(1) I loved how peaceful the hotel was, a perfect escape from the main street noise, but it was still close enough to everything. (2) The front yard was my favorite spot! Guest can spent mornings there sipping coffee and dreaming, and evenings grilling and laughing with friends. (3) The hotel managed to keep that old-world charm while adding modern touches. It felt so cozy and inviting. (4) The staff were absolutely wonderful! They went out of their way to make me feel welcome and taken care of. (5) Breakfast was a highlight. Those fresh pastries from the hotel's bakery were to die for! (6) The Stockhorn restaurant is a must-try! Their grilled meats were incredible. It was such a treat to have a delicious meal right next to the hotel (to me, it is really a big plus upon my arrival after a long train journey) (7) !!! You can enjoy the Matterhorn every single day from your balcony!!!

United StatesOnly thing that could have been better is because there is no AC, perhaps they could provide a fan in the room
Loved my stay at the Rex, it was everything I needed and more for my short stay in Zermatt. The facilities overall are very up to date and has a wonderful, cozy feel to it. You walk in through their outdoor garden area which is great to relax in during the day or the evening. They have a big, comfortable bar area inside, their own bakery, a sitting area with communal board games, etc. My favorite amenity was the spa which was more extensive than the typical hotel, they have multiple saunas, steam room, hot tub, a large pool, relaxation areas and more. I loved this after my day long hikes. The room itself is quite spacious and very comfortable. I selected a room with a Matterhorn view and it was wonderful. I also loved how in the summer they offered an outdoor BBQ menu, I ended up eating there both nights since the food was so good. The breakfast was delicious, although I wish I realized you could order dishes from the menu vs. buffet style earlier on! The staff was great at all times, always cheerful and willing to help. Lastly, in terms of its location, while its a short walk from the main street, I think this is a plus because you can escape the busy area and the area is actually equidistant to both the Zermatt train station and gondola station (which are in opposite directions). There are a handful of restaurants and bars nearby so it’s still lively! Definitely stay at the Rex if you plan to visit Zermatt, you won’t be disappointed

AustraliaBeautiful hotel! Very centrally located to walk wherever you need to go. The staff was wonderful and very helpful. The breakfast was great, buffet style but also a few options you could order from the kitchen. There’s a lovely little bakery attached and an outdoor garden bar during summer. And our room had a beautiful view of the Matterhorn right from the terrace. Overall, we had an amazing stay and would definitely return our next time in Zermatt.

United KingdomWhen poor weather and floods stopped us leaving for the night the staff asked us to leave the room at normal time instead of offering a late checkout. We ended up staying an extra night and unnecessarily using more bedding as well as having to pack and unpack.
The Rex is a lovely warm and welcoming hotel. Great location, friendly staff, great view of the Matterhorn (weather dependent), lovely bedding, great spa and fabulous breakfast.
