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 KingdomThe duvets on the king beds were single duvets lying sideways across the bed. This meant your feet stuck out the bottom. Extremely irritating. The same was in our friend's room.
Good location, great front staff. Good wifi. Very clean.

SwitzerlandThe only "negative point" is that the rooms don't appear to be soundproofed against noise in the hallways. Any footsteps, conversations or other noise could easily be heard through the door and could disturb one's sleep.
The location was ideal, in close proximity to the train station, at less than 5 minutes on foot. It was also located nearby to other restaurants in the area, which are cheaper for those being budget conscious and not necessarily wishing to go to the old city centre. The receptionist was very friendly and was immediately welcoming. The room itself was a pleasant surprise, as it was large, well illuminated and spacious.

United KingdomPillows.
Near the station so very convenient as we were just staying overnight between trains. Rooms were very clean and functional, but the pillows were so soft they gave no support to the head. Breakfast was fine but the coffee was very strong! The staff were very helpful.

United StatesNoisy even if the window is closed.
Simple room but good for one or two nights to stay. Especially if you'd like to travel on a train. Or if you take a bernina Express bus. The hotel is 3 minutes from the station on foot.

United KingdomLarge clean comfortable room & bathroom, the hotel & furniture feels a touch dated but this gives it a faded charm, the staff I dealt with were polite, friendly & helpful. The hotel is located approximately 10 - 15 minutes walk from the lake front (there is a funicular that takes a couple of minutes from the station to the centre) but is very handy for the train station, if you arrive by train leave from the rear of the station and the hotel is only a couple of minutes walk.

NetherlandsThe only thing I didn't like is that my room was on a busy road, and the windows didn't fully protect from the traffic noise. Maybe it's just the downside of being so close to the station.
The hotel is situated only two minutes from Lugano Station. Although it is quite sober it is also very clean and neat, with the necessary soap, shampoo and towel. The bed is of good quality. I liked the balcony for sitting out on a balmy night. Staff was helpful and polite.

United KingdomThin curtain (more like a net curtain) so eye mask needed. The hotel is on a main road and there is little sound proofing within the building so ear plugs are useful if you're a light sleeper.
Close to Lugano train station, friendly welcome. Payment is made at check-in so check-out just involves leaving the room key. Bed comfortable and larger than a normal single bed, hot water available any time of day. Very reasonable price for a hotel in Switzerland but don't expect more than the basics.

IndiaThe city center is a bit away and there are very less eating options here. Hotel needs a bit of an uplift as it feels it is quite old.
The hotel is very close to the train station but on the other side of the city center. The reception person Roberto was really very helpful as he gave us a room with beautiful views of the city and mountain.
