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...).

GermanyMy stay was too short :-( ! And unfortunately, the weather cooperated only partially and scantily. But nevertheless, a superb stay!
Well, right from the word go at the reception, I knew I found the right place. First and foremost, the great, GREAT Staff who not just guest but accommodated every oddball request - including that for my favorite dessert of Crêpes Suzette :-D !!! The food was superb, the wine awesome and the Aperol Spritz out of this world! My room was phenomenal with a giant bathtub in which I soaked every morning! Overall, an awesome, awesome, otherworldly experience in paradise!

SwitzerlandThe room was too warm for my taste - we turned down the heating in the evening but it stayed too warm during the night. It's only personal-I prefer 18-19 degrees at night. Nothing too bad:-)
The most beautiful views, a really great breakfast, lovely staff and a very calm and welcoming environment all over!

SwitzerlandThe rooms don't lean into the beautiful old style of the hotel and lack character, with basic furnishings that made it feel cold and clinical. We had a deluxe terrace room, the door of which was so close to the bed that we could barely open it. Bathroom also quite cramped, with toilet behind the door. No coffee or tea appliances in the room - instead shared appliances available in the hallway. This hotel has SO much potential to be astounding, yet the rooms and decor let it down.
Stunning views, grounds and exterior lakeside terrace. Spa area was lovely and the outdoor Gondola sauna was a nice touch. We also enjoyed delicious food at the restaurant and by the lake. Bed was very comfortable. Staff was also friendly and welcoming.

NetherlandsEverything was good.
Location is perfect. 3 min from ferry and funicular to Rigi. Just by the lake, with a nice little spa, and perfect views. Breakfast is very good, dinners are okay (a bit overpriced). Room was spacious and with a gorgeous view of the lake right from my balcony. You can enjoy various hiking trails nearby, or cruise by the lake with a ferry, everything is easily reachable.

Many years since we last stayed here. The new owners have sympathetically renovated this jewel on the banks of Lake Lucerne. Fantastic location, great facilities, really excellent professional staff.

United States of AmericaIt was abnormally hot for this time of year and the room does not have A/C, only a small fan. It was hard to cool off at night.
Everything! This is definitely a special place to unwind and relax. From the rooms, to the views, the location, the food, the amenities, my expectations were exceeded. The breakfast has anything and everything you could ever want to eat (pastries, yogurt, eggs anyway, meats and cheeses, smoked salmon, donuts, coffee, champagne, cereal/granola and so much more). The sauna and steam room are a great way to unwind, followed by a paddle board or swim in Lake Lucerne. Truly a great experience! Be sure to catch a sunset, you won't regret it.

United KingdomThe rooms are finished to a high standard, but I feel it should have had a walk in shower as that was the biggest disappointment due to both bathrooms not offering a decent shower…
Stayed in room on the very top floor with excellent lake views, a very spacious suite with are own personal coffee machine. Equipped with two bathrooms ,tv and a free to use safe.

Mesmerizing view from the balcony, beautiful garden and interiors of the hotel. Staff is very nice and helpful. There is a small supermarket couple minutes from the hotel. Definitely worth to visit.

United KingdomThe choice of restaurants in Vitznau is limited but we enjoyed Rutli and Nostalgie near the Park as more affordable options. The food was delicious in both. You won't get a bottle of wine for less than 60 CHF so come prepared!
The hotel is stylish with excellent use of its older architecture; the rooms were spacious yet modern and we were delighted to have a balcony on our side view room which was advertised as 'mountain view' but gave us a partial lake view too. Vitznau town is small but has a good connection to the boats to Lucerne/Weggis and has easy to use buses. Transport is very easy. Vitznau also has a smart station for the Rigi Train which takes you up the mountain. It was exceptionally convenient. I would recommend using the spa at Kaltbad (halfway up). Vitznau is quiet and select and allows a relaxing holidays away from crowds. We ran every day along the lake to either Gersnau or Weggis (each 5kms) so enjoyed the flat as well as hiking in the mountains. The hotel was charming, beautifully looked after with wonderfully friendly and helpful staff. My husband made good use of the excellent (free) paddle boards and enjoyed relaxing rides across the beautiful lake. I really had one of my best holidays ever in this beautiful place where you can be very active or just relax by the lake.
