Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

PhilippinesBathrooms were small for some rooms with no accessory in the shower area for personal soaps/shampoos. Since we stayed for a whole week it would have been nice if the breakfast options changed occasionally.
Easy access to public transport and to the Old Town, and the very helpful staff, especially Ana. We also enjoyed riding the old elevator, and the fresh orang juice and great selection of cheeses!

Very friendly welcome, nice building with a beautiful old wooden elevator. My double room was spacious, clean and comfortable. There was a kettle for tea / coffee. Breakfast great, nice buffet with fresh stuff. It’s very close to the train station and only a couple of stop away from the old town. Free public transportation in Bern when staying in a hotel.

ItalyEven though the value-price per night was good for a Swiss hotel, I would have liked the breakfast, which was included in the rate I paid, to be a little more varied, as the choice was quite limited and there was exactly the same thing every day.
The location is perfect. Just steps away from the train station and also there is a public transport stop just outside the hotel. This was crucial for me choosing this hotel. It was wonderful since with my hotel confirmation number I enjoyed of free transportation during my entire stay in Bern!

AustraliaThis didn't worry me, but with reception on the first floor, and those staying in higher floor rooms, there is only one lift and it is 120 years old (seriously). Take the stairs if you can, but it is a very novel ride.
Hotel is very conveniently located close to the main train station. The room we were in was a recently refurbished room facing out onto the tram stop. Even with this the room was quiet, spacious, and included everything that we would have expected. The staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast downstairs in the restaurant was included and extremely convenient. Hotel location is excellent for access to Bern via either the trams out front, or just by walking.

United States of AmericaI booked an Economy Single Room and declined an upgrade in exchange for extra early Check In. The room was REALLY small. A tiny twin bed with a rock hard mattress and too much furniture for a room that size. The bathroom you could barely turn around in. You get what you pay for. I'm an average sized person and I can do small but in hindsight, the next size up would have been a better choice for me.
A short walk from the Bern Bahnhof on a quiet street - as long as you can sleep to the soothing purr of electric streetcars. Restaurants, retail, entertainment, and services right outside the front door. An excellent breakfast. Check In/Out was quick and easy with a very helpful and knowledgeable staff.
