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...).

FranceThe bath room would need to be slightly upgraded, but is on par with the hotel style
Great location next to the Opera, old Palace hotel that has kept an old fashioned charm, nice architecture. Rooms are very big, the bar is very cosy, the restaurant looks nice although I did not eat there. Staff at the reception is very nice and helpful.

Belgiumyou really need need to renovate the rooms, very shoddy, dirty chairs in the room, the card keys weren't functioning well and i am sure that the rooms can be easily broken into by someone who knows how. It is basically overpriced - unless you properly renovate the rooms. For the price - the breakfast could be better too.
good location and the old belle epoque style of the building

SwitzerlandDespite the cleanliness and maintenance, it's old. People expecting contemporary standards beware.
My primary concern is always the bed. It was very comfortable and large. The fifth floor room was lovely and comfortable. Personnel was very friendly and accommodating. Mostly, it's the experience of stepping back into history that I appreciated. It's a very elegant art deco building with historical furnishings.

NetherlandsThe furnishings and fixtures are showing their age: faded and worn carpets, taps losing their chrome, window ledges in desperate need of paint. A general aura of faded luxury, the place is in need of some tlc to bring it back to its former glory.
Lovely location in the centre of Vichy, just a brief stroll away from the park and the thermal springs. The building itself is a lovely 1900 building, kept in the original style. Staff were very helpful, and the room was large and comfortable.

BelgiumThe hotel is dated and needs some renovation, everything is functional but barely. Our shower sprayed the entire bathroom, the temperature and water flow were difficult to control. Some rooms were lacking air conditioning which was a problem during the heat wave this summer. We were lucky they could find us other rooms with proper air conditioning. Still a great experience and we would stay there again, mainly because of the friendly service, excellent location and pool.
Authentic and stylish hotel with decoration from the golden age of Vichy. Very friendly personnel, always ready to serve us and solve any issues. The swimming pool is a great bonus in the heat of summer, and the bar offers a great variety of drinks. The location is simply optimal, right in front of the Opera and Palais de Congres.

It's the last original Hotel in Vichy from the Grand Époque that has not been transformed into appartments. You go back into time. The Art deco details are everywhere, even in the shower. The personnel are very helpful. Don't expect a design hôtel that looks like any design hôtel. This is a lovely hotel and a trip in the past. You really feel the atmosphere of Vichy and what it was all about.
