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.).

SwitzerlandThere are couple of observations to be aware of. The hotel is marked as pet friendly, but you will not be allowed to enter restaurant with your pet. For the breakfast our family with a puppy was suggested to be seated in a lobby area which we would not expect of this level facility. There is a parking area which belongs to the hotel - which is lacking capacity and normally is overloaded when the hotel is fully booked. You will be suggested to leave your car keys at the reception, so that personnel could move your car depending on the necessity.
The place is absolutely gorgeous, beautiful lake view, walking path along the bank, atmospheric building of the old abbey with creaking floors and the smell of the old wood.

United KingdomWe thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Abbaye de Talloires. Staff were very friendly and attentive. We used the spa, ate at the restaurant and rented the electric bikes. So much to do here even without summer weather. Highly recommend

SwitzerlandLeaving this fine place behind.
This fine hotel has honed its perfection over many years without losing any of its flavor and freshness. This latest stay was no exception to the experiences we have shared here with family and friends. The food for breakfast and in the dining room is inventive and satisfying for the taste as well as the presentation. The staff are professional, friendly and excellent guides through the facilities and the menus. The cellar is replete with delights. We had a Côte du Rhône white which had been exquisitely developed, for a very reasonable price. It you have the opportunity to stay at the Abbaye, this refined establishment will fulfill all your expectations. Looking forward to our next visit. Linda and Jean-Guy

United KingdomWe liked it so much we will stay the next time we travel by car to our home in Italy - which we do 2 or 3 times a year and hopefully have some time left to enjoy the restaurant and spa too.
A fantastic location right on the lake. A lovely designed hotel which was authentic - we were upgraded to a fabulous sweet with lots of character and original features which meant loads of room with an amazing view of the lake -

United KingdomI didn’t like it when the fire alarm went off in the middle of the night at nearly 4am. There were no hotel staff present to supervise or inform the residents during the evacuation night when the fire alarm rang. The situation was made even worse after to returning to our rooms and getting back to bed, when the fire alarm rang again and we had to evacuate again. I was told the following day that both of these incidents were false alarms. Our sleep was severely disrupted that night. I had expected that there would be a formal apology to the residents, and that there would have been some monetary gesture of goodwill to make up for the inconvenience and very poor service. Alas nothing so far !
The setting is very pleasant

United StatesI forgot how many stairs were involved as we were on 2nd floor and there is no elevator. My fault for not remembering as my guest was elderly. Bar is outside at front of hotel and the pop music is pleasant when there but not so relaxing in the room if your room directly faces the lake . The view was worth the music in the long run . Trade off ! Minor problems .
Always nice to return to the Abbaye . We’ve been coming for at least 20 years or more . Rooms are beautiful especially with lake views . Restaurant has been improved since I was last here. Private deck area at lake is lovely . Staff was very helpful at desk and restaurant. Breakfast is the best .

Canadathe presence detector got activated in the middle of the night in the ante chamber and the light would come on, while we were sleeping. Obviously a malfunction but we couldn't sleep. We had to kill the power for the whole bedroom and lost most of our sleep. The following day the staff told us that yes, it happened, and charged us everything, to the last penny, and never offered a discount or a gratification for the lost sleep... Disappointing to say the least.
Amazing view, great food, and one of the best location i have seen in the world. This place has seen a lot for the past several hundred of years, there is a serenity here...

Francethere is no option to buy any kind of drink after 22:00 (except from your mini bar). our order got forgotten on two occasions by the bar staff. when we arrived our room wasn’t ready and we were told that reception would call us to let us know when it was ready which never happened. I personally didn’t think the air-con in the room we were in was working properly.
the location is stunning. they have an awesome system down by the lake where you can scan a QR code and order from a menu & it is delivered to your table.
