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.).

United StatesThe hotel restaurant was fully booked for dinner so we were not able to dine there and the menu looked amazing. Resto recommended by concierge Brasserie de Montbenon was ok but nothing special. This has nothing to do with hotel; we haven't been to Lausanne in 30 years and I remember it as a beautiful, immaculate city (much like Zurich still is) but now it's appears more French than Swiss with very run down, grotty areas like Paris. We also had a very rude south asian taxi driver tell us we should have just taken the metro to the hotel instead of taxi!
This stunningly beautiful old hotel has a modern annex, which is where our room was. Generally we prefer rooms in older part but the modern annex blew us away. The room was outstanding, possibly the best of our three week trip. It was perfectly laid out with the large closet, bathroom, bar area closest to the door and spacious bed/seating area towards the balcony, which meant room was exceptionally quiet. Very well appointed and immaculate with a very comfortable bed and seating area as well as balcony with a lovely view of the lake. We enjoyed spa, which is large with sauna, steam room, cold plunge and indoor/outdoor pool and quite busy. Breakfast was the best breakfast of our trip -- the best coffee, croissants, fruit selection, eggs, and faultless service overlooking garden. We were only here one night on our way from central Switzerland to Geneva for a flight and wish our stay had been longer.

Honestly it was one of the best hotels that I’ve ever stayed in. The front desk staff were super helpful and friendly. Breakfast was amazing, plenty of options, waiter service and staff at the breakfast were nothing short of the best, specially Youssef he was simply amazing. Ideal and central location. 2 mins walk from the metro station. Their rooftop got the most beautiful view of Lake Geneva and the staff there were super friendly. A reservation is required where you get to enjoy drinks and food with an amazing view. Rooms were specious, got a balcony with either park or lake view. Comfortable beds and the bathroom is a huge plus. I definitely recommend this hotel when coming to Lausanne. Can’t wait for future stays.

SwitzerlandThe food options for dietary requirements (vegan) were pretty much non-existent and that was disappointing as I had to make my own meals from supermarket ingredients, or eat out. I didn't have breakfast after the first morning as there were not really any options other than fruit, and vegan options did not seem to be understood so I was also concerned about ordering things (and the one vegan option on the menu, avocado, had an additional cost). Especially disappointing as I had enquired about this prior to arrival. They didn't have Oat milk for coffee which was a surprise, luckily there is a fantastic coffee shop in front of the hotel that were able to provide exceptional coffee...with oat milk! If you have a serious food allergy or intolerance then please be very careful in ensuring this is understood and catered for.
Amazing quality hotel and facilities, one of my favourite stays. Big room, very comfortable bed and pillows, and soundproofing was the best I've experienced during a hotel stay - didn't hear any other guests. Housekeeping was great. Spa was fantastic, I really appreciated the women's only spa area, and I would recommend one of their massages. Location was great and across the street from the metro. Friendly and helpful staff. The garden area is a lovely little oasis and a great place to hang out.

SwitzerlandThe shower door doesn't close completely, so it leaks into the restroom. But overall everything was amazing and they even did our room twice in a day!
All facilities, especially the spa and pool. The staff was welcoming, helpful and knowledgeable. The toilette with integrated bidet was surprisingly nice.
