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.).

This is an exceptional hotel. From the warm, caring staff who cannot do enough for you, to it's location beside Vieux Lyon and proximity to the metro station for onward access to Rhone Express and Airport, it exceeded my expectations. Even though my room faced the street there was absolutely no noise at night. The bed was very comfortable and the room was clean and with plenty of space for a solo traveller. The Continental breakfast is good value. The hotel is in a lovely area within walking distance of cafe's, shops and restaurants. Would highly recommend it.

FranceVery good location, close to everything, quiet, clean room, it has a vintage look that I really liked and the reason I chose this hotel. It's inside an old nice building. The reception staff was nice and check in and check out very fast and easy. Will def come back. A bit pricey for just 1 night but it is what it is considering I booked a night before.

United StatesYou need to know there is a lift, but you have to go up three steps with your luggage before accessing it, in case that is a problem for anyone. The hotel part of the building actually starts on the second floor. Also, it is NOT an easy walk from the train station for some of us, BUT is a cheap taxi ride.
Staff were exceptionally helpful and kind. They went out of their way to make sure our needs were taken care of - allowing early check-in of luggage - calling taxis - providing maps and advice. Our bed was firm, as requested.

United StatesThe ONLY issues we ran into were 1) we had too much luggage to fit comfortably into a room that size; and 2) the floor of the shower was slippery; I would suggest that installing a short grab bar next to the shower door might be a good idea.
Gaia and her husband were warmly welcoming, helpful, and informative. The neighborhood was one block from the river, within walking distance of major landmarks, excellent restaurants, and whatever services one might need. There was even a corner grocery right next door. Beds were very comfortable, and breakfast was excellent.

The location was fantastic and the hotel was really easy to find. The rooms were clean and well-furnished. Staff were really friendly, offering to keep our luggage before we checked out - they also provided a detailed map of the area so we could easily find attractions around Lyon.

Excellent location - very close to Lyon Centre with an easy walk to Vieux Lyon and lovely walking routes along the Saone and the Rhone. My daughter and I really liked the breakfast - french and very authentic.

We loved the location and the feeling we were in a renovated ancient building. The hosts and their staff were welcoming and very helpful. We followed their recommendations several times with great results. Also, and very wonderful, the hot chocolate experience was fabulous! Xavier gave instructions as to how to make a paste of chocolate before mixing in the rest of the hot milk.

United StatesI booked a single room. Next time I'll book the larger suite.
The shower was exceptional, as were the towels, pillow, and bedding. The staff went out of their way to assist when the water in the shower didn't go down one morning. They insisted on issuing a credit to my credit card. That doesn't happen in the United States. This hotel is a charming property on a quiet side street in the 2nd Arr. It's a 5 - 10 minute walk to the subway/tube. Most sights were a 10 - 20 minute walk, or you could take public transportation. I would return if and when I return to Lyon.
