Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
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...).

SwitzerlandWould be good if they offered plant-based milk as part of the breakfast buffet.
The Hotel Rigi is in a great location and has beautiful views of the lake and mountains. The room we stayed in had a good sized balcony, bath and a very comfortable bed. The staff were also very friendly and helpful. The breakfast rooms were really nice, with a lovely outside area.

SwitzerlandThe only thing, (to be expected from an older hotel) is that you could hear people walking around outside the room and the room above, and being next to the road, being a light sleeper doesn't work, unless you can get a room around the back of the hotel.
The room was comfortable, along with the beds, and a great shower. The location was very central, literally two mins walk or less to the Rigi Bahn which took me to the 'Queen of the mountains'. Breakfast was a continental affair, with the staff being very friendly and welcoming, the coped very well with my average German, and answered all my questions.

United KingdomThe lack of maintenance and the poor standards. It also had a”rough” group of local people who almost prevented customers from using the bar etc. No women entered the bar in my 2 evenings.
Close to famous facilities and excellent garden to enjoy dinner. (Even using the neighbour - the church - for extension of the eating area. Brilliant. )

SwitzerlandThe hotel is well located - in the middle of the village - so the main road runs alongside it. There is a certain amount of noise due to heavy traffic early in the morning, a possible nuissance thore those who like to sleep with window open.
The staff were polite, helpful and discreet. Buffet breakfast perfectly sufficient.

IranStaff is really friendly. Mr. Thomas helped me a lot to find attractions around Vitznau. Breakfast is actually fresh and pleasant. I enjoyed the coffee they serve. And the scenery!!! Like a part of heaven! Amazing view to the lake. I absolutely enjoyed the walking by the lake in the morning. Do not forget to try the restaurant. Very professional chef. There is a grocery store nearby where you can find most of your needs. There is a bus stop by the Hotel, which you can use to go to Lucerne or other cities. A bit far, but you can enjoy the rout.

GermanyThe property allows smoking in the room. The smell of cigarette smoke was very heavy and unpleasant in all the common areas of the hotel. We didn't really appreciate that.
The room was sufficient and provided us with what we needed for our two day stay. The Breakfast was great. We like the selection. The staff were responsive and provided good service. The location of the hotel was excellent. If you intend to hike near Rigi, you can not beat the location. Highly recommend.

LatviaIt did smell of smoke in the hotel, and a couple of times we smelled it in our room.
We had a nice stay overall. The room had everything we needed, and the bed was comfortable. The restaurant in the hotel is very good and we ate there twice. Also the location is brilliant, less than a minute walking distance from the cogwheel railway station to Rigi Kulm. Also a great starting point for hikes.
