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...).

IndiaThe only thing I'd change about the room is I'd put the laptop safety locker on a higher level in the cupboard. It's currently placed at the bottom of the cupboard and was a bit difficult for my parents to bend down to access it. Other than that, the elevator is a small one, but really fast, so one never really has to wait for more than a couple of minutes.
The reception staff, each and everyone of them was absolutely brilliant. They are the ones that make the hotel what it is. It's a big hotel, yet has a boutique hotel warmth to it. The room was lovely and the housekeeping staff did a fantastic job on a daily basis. The bathrooms has two sinks (his and her), which was absolutely great. Plus the bathroom generally was an above average size. Also, we really appreciated that they have a microwave in the common area for guests to use. Breakfast was pretty good. Not very elaborate, but well worth it. Pancakes, scrambled eggs, fresh tea and coffee counter, sausages, fruits and cheese along with great croissants/breads on a daily basis. Oh , back to the rooms, the beds were fantastic and very comfortable. The staff was also courteous enough to lend an umbrella to my brother when he was stepping out at night to go to a nearby bar. Also, location. You can't can for a better location in Lucerne than Monopol. Train station/ bus stand/ the lake.. everything is right outside the hotel.

PhilippinesIt was really hot when we were there and they did not turn on the airconditioner. Reception said the aircon will be turned on in May. There was a bar on the top floor and we arrived on a Saturday. The music was so loud bec our windows were open.
In the city center. Food places all around. Walking distance to everything.

Thailand-Internet signal from Hote's Wifi was VERY VERY LOW, I have to drag the chair to sit next to the door to get stronger signal. Sometime, I have to open the door to get a signal too. Things got worse when I ask the staff to solve the problem but nothing happended except the excuse from staff who said "todaywe have a problem with internet connection". and gave me some buy 1 get 1 drink voucher (Which I don't want at all) However, the signal around the frontdesk was always very very strong everytime I came to Front Desk. So I think it is not about Wifi's technical problem and the hotel should do something better than this! -Outside my room there is a hotel's spotlight located next to the window. at 1st night the spotlight opened at night and its light was so strong that even I closed all the curtain, the light still came through and I could not sleep until the spotlight turned off automatically (I can't remember the exact time but it was after midnight). Next morning I asked front desk to do something, they listened and on 2nd night, the hotel installed a thick curtain on my window which spotlight could not pierce through. This was very good, I thank you for that....However, on 3rd night that thick curtain has been removed, I was so shocked when I came back to my room because I did not ask the hotel to took it out until my check out!!! So these were my disappointment and made me decided not to stay in this hotel again in the future. :(
-Hotel location is great, just opposite Luzern train station -Short walk to Chapelbrucke and the old town -room size is acceptable

SingaporeThe room was a little dated. One of the elevators was out of service during our stay. Nothing major, would definitely recommend a stay there.
The location was brilliant, right beside the train station and of course Lake Lucerne. Everything was accessible and within walking distance. What stood out was the reception. Me and my friend, we were welcomed warmly by Mr Khai, who greeted us in our home language. We felt welcome right from the start. He offered us great recommendations of the sights and sounds of the city and halal options available in the town. The room also had a great view overlooking the lake. Overall a great stay!

ThailandThe pillow was too flat for me The wall and ceiling are quite thin so you may hear sound from the next room especially the bed is next to each other against the wall and hearing steps from above maybe even from dusk till late at night depends on your luck…
The best hotel you can find in Luzerne if you are not after for modern and luxury, i believe it was luxury in its time. Just a street away from train station Plenty of amenities in the room, coffee pod machine, fruits, drinking water, slipper , etc. With starbucks and Mcdonald right inside the hotel I was blessed to get the best room view could ever ask for. Room and water temperature is perfect
