How guest reviews work
Each review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and Standards for Reviews
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...).

Verified reviewThe hotel is located in an idyllic location on Lake Lucerne. The staff were super friendly and efficient and the food was top class. It was the perfect venue for a couple of nights away from it all. The location is perfect and so easy to access via the ferry from Lucerne. There is such easy access to swim in the lake from the hotel, as well as enjoy the wonderful sunsets in the evening.
Dear guest Thank you very much for your kind words and positive review. We are delighted to hear that you thoroughly enjoyed your stay with us and look forward to welcoming you back to the Vitznauerhof. Warm regards from Lake Lucerne Your Vitznauerhof team

Verified reviewThe location and views. Staff were very helpful. And we Coukdon take our dogs into the restaurant.
We had to pay £50 a day to park our car on the premises. The rooms had no air conditioning and that made it very uncomfortable for us. The terrace was tiny and they put one deck chair on it. It should have had 2 stools as the room was for 2 people. Lots of events on the time which made parking extremely difficult.
Dear Guest, Thank you very much for your review. We are delighted that you enjoyed both the location and our staff. If you choose to park at our hotel, there is a charge of just CHF 10 per night. Unfortunately, if you do not park on our premises, we are unable to control the prices charged by other car parks. We wish you all the best. We would be delighted to welcome you back. Kind regards, The Vitznauerhof Team

Verified reviewThe hotel staff were exceptionally kind, welcoming, and helpful. Upon arrival, we were warmly greeted and invited to relax on a sofa in the reception lounge, where one of the receptionists brought us refreshing drinks while we completed our check-in. We've never experienced such a high-end and thoughtful welcome before. Our room was incredibly spacious, with two bathrooms, three balconies, and to my absolute delight—my partner had secretly arranged a romantic surprise! The staff prepared everything beautifully, including two swans made of towels and rose petals artfully scattered across the bed. It was stunning! Swimming in the lake was amazing—the hotel provided floating rings, which made it even more enjoyable. Breakfast was delicious, with a wide variety of options, and we even spotted a boat arriving from our table by the window! Dinner was equally flavorful and satisfying. All in all, it was the ultimate luxurious experience in Vitznau. Hotel Vitznauerhof truly made our stay unforgettable.
The variety of dinner menu can be more varied.

Verified reviewOur room was large, as was the bath.
The breakfast offerings were repetitive. Many things were not labeled. More fresh fruit was needed. Cooked choices could have been better had they not contained so much salt and had they been accurate to what we requested. While the hotel appeared to be exclusive and expensive, its breakfast buffet did not measure up to those standards.
Dear guest Greetings from Lake Lucerne! Thank you very much for your visit and the time you took to rate your stay. We are pleased that you were able to enjoy your room to the full.
