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 reviewThis is a wonderful location for families. The rooms are larger than standard. The location was also excellent, especially ideal for exploring the city on foot with children
If your morning coffee is important to you, don’t keep your expectations too high. The coffee is below average. Also, the breakfast is clean and nice, but there’s very little variety. The seating area is really cramped and small. However, the lady organizing the breakfast room was doing her job extremely well and kept everything clean. She was promptly replenishing anything that ran out
Dear Ipek, Thank you very much for taking the time to share your detailed feedback. We are delighted to know that you and your family enjoyed our spacious rooms and central location, which made exploring the city easier. We appreciate your kind words about the cleanliness of the breakfast area and the dedication of our colleague who ensured everything was well maintained and promptly replenished — we will be sure to share your compliments with her. At the same time, we take note of your comments regarding the coffee, variety of breakfast, and seating arrangements. Your observations are valuable to us, and we will use them to improve our services further. We truly hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you and your family again in the future.

Verified reviewThe location is very good. The room was average. There was nothing particular about the decoration. The bed was comfortable.
On the weekend, the noise outside of the hotel was absolutely horrible. People screaming, and laughing and drinking. As good and comfortable as the beds were, the pillows were thin and hard as a rock. There was only one type of pillow and the hotel could not offer us something different.
Dear Madam, Dear Sir, Thank you for sharing your feedback following your recent stay with us. We're glad to hear that you enjoyed our central location and found the bed comfortable. However, we’re sorry to learn that certain aspects did not fully meet your expectations. Being located near the Rhône riverbanks — a very lively area, especially during summer weekends — can sometimes result in higher noise levels, depending on the room orientation and time of stay. We understand this can affect comfort for some guests, and we truly regret any inconvenience caused. As for the pillows, we understand that preferences can vary widely. At this time, we do not offer alternative pillow types, but we genuinely appreciate your input and will share it with the management for future consideration. Your comments help us improve, and we hope to have the opportunity to welcome you again in the future under more favorable conditions. Kind regards, Hôtel Best Western du Pont Wilson ****

Verified reviewThe staff were very friendly and helpful. We were able to check in early, and when after checking out we forgot an item at the hotel, the hotel administrators helped us to ship it back to our home. Very grateful for their help! Also, the view from the room was amazing!
Unfortunately, bathroom facilities were visibly dirty on our arrival and I had to clean the toilet before using it. Generally the bathroom was in poor condition, uncomfortable and not very clean. Balcony floor was dirty as well. The breakfast was very poor for a 4 star hotel.
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience with us. We are truly happy to hear that you appreciated the friendliness and helpfulness of our staff, and that we could assist with the return of your forgotten item. It’s also wonderful to know that you enjoyed the view from your room — we agree, it’s one of the highlights of staying with us! That said, we are sincerely sorry to hear about the cleanliness issues you encountered in the bathroom and on the balcony, as well as your disappointment with the breakfast. Please accept our apologies for these shortcomings. What you described is certainly not reflective of our usual standards, and your comments have been shared with our housekeeping team. We genuinely value your feedback, as it helps us grow and deliver a better experience to all our guests. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back Have a nice summer Best Western Pont Wilson Team

The breakfast is simple and there aren't a lot of tables available. We decided to take it elsewhere.
Dear Guest, Thank you very much for your enthusiastic review and for this excellent rating.

Your feedback helps us identify areas for improvement, particularly regarding the space and comfort of the breakfast room.
