Each 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 are 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 Wi-Fi. 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 arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise 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 else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
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, and 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 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 may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

FinlandAfter I had made reservation.I received message that the hotel was undergoing renovation. There was no information about this before reservation. The hotel was undergoing a major facade renovation. The builders started hammering and using machines at 7 in the morning above our room. I complained about it. They finally agreed to change rooms. The rest of the holiday went better. The cleanliness of the hotel could be better.
Breakfast was excellent

GreeceLocation is abt 10 mins from center. Room and buildings were bit outdated but i could see a renovation was already in progress. Going to rooms or from rooms to restaurant was bit confusing using two elevators long corridors
Room was spacious, bathroom was very big and comfortable, a huge veranda with nice views over the pool. Breakfast was fair, breakfast area and restaurant outskirts were amazing offering spectacular views.

SwitzerlandSmall points of improvement would be room maintenance, small broken items such as coat hooks and light damage on walls & corners, uncomfortable tap in the bathroom. Shower head in standing shower was not at the level expected. Parking costs should just be included with the room price. Indoor parking would be great, not sure if it was possible.
Amazing view, comfortable hotel, nice spa, nice gym, breakfast, dinner, great experience with staff in restaurant, bistro and reception. Like a home away from home.

SwitzerlandToo hot in the public rooms and indoor the first room we had. The window couldn’t ne opened. Horrible. We had to put the aircondition on and had to sleep with the noice of it. It stayed hot and we couldn’t sleep properly. We then ask to change room and we got a bigger one with balcony.
It was big but with diffrent houses and therefore still cosy.

SwitzerlandSome fittings are quite old. The shower door couldn’t close properly so it kept leaking water. The reception at check in wasn’t the friendliest but the other staff at all other times were great.
The rooms were really large and they have a nice spa. The staff were mostly polite. The breakfast buffet was really good too.

SwitzerlandI had booked the suite that come with a kitchen But if you want the equipment to be able to cook and use it you need to pay an additional fee of 50.- per night I think this is just way too expensive and nonsense because the price of the room is pretty expensive already
The Hotel and the spa are great Very good breakfast and the staff has been very nice and helpful

SwitzerlandI think it’s very poor that you have to pay extra for them to put anything in the kitchen (after booking we were told just before arriving it’s an extra 50chf if you actually want to be able to use the kitchen facilities). Parking was also an extra cost but we expected that.
Nice pool and good sized room with pool and lake view. The gym is fantastic. There’s even a CrossFit setup in the outside area at the back. Had a very good massage as well.

LebanonMy main complaint is the noise and vibrations from the A/C compressor, It is installed within the room WC which is a big deal in summer. On a side note, The hotel would really benefit from a paint job and some modernization features.
The food is excellent, and the staff really great! the room was clean as well as the rest of the hotel. It was a great experience so thank you!

United KingdomExtra charges for all sorts. For example, we booked an apartment (incl. kitchen) but they asked for an extra payment of 50 CHF per day for the cutlery and pots. Similarly, when asking for oats during breakfast for our little one they wanted to charge extra. Very stingy given the room prices.
Great facilities.

United KingdomIt felt that the rooms were a bit old and needed some maintenance/updating (e.g. missing curtains, some shutters not fully shutting, floorboard broken...) It is not a super shiny 4-star hotel anymore, unfortunately. I think it can be a lot nicer with a little bit of touch-up!
Staff were all welcoming and helpful. We requested to change a room due to a minor issue with the first one, and they did their best to accommodate our requests and arranged another room for the next day. Breakfast and the restaurant team running it were excellent. The team were very professional but also lovely to the children. The entire villa needs some work but I felt that the people there are putting extra effort into providing the high-quality services.

SwitzerlandPaying for the kitchen is fine, but it needs to be properly equipped when we pay the extra fee. We were missing some basics, so this should be looked at for future guests.
