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 use a weighted review system which means that 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.).

United StatesWhen I sat down on the chair in our friends’ room next door to ours, the chair broke and I was injured. There was only one girl on duty at the check in desk, so she couldn’t leave and check on me or the situation. This was not a good situation. She did eventually give me some ice. I’m still not feeling great a day later.
Very clean, excellent breakfast, comfy rooms, modern, great location, and nice staff.

SwitzerlandThe spa is opened only until 20.00 and you have to pay ca. Euro 20 for each use. Of course you get a towel and bathrobe, however the price per day makes it unattractive for a 1 hour visit. It is clean but there are no staff so the impression is that you are in an empty place… as well it would be great to have more information about the areas (flyers, adds, etc). There are no information at the reception either in the room. A room-service would be a plus, considering that the restaurant closes the kitchen at 20.45-21.00. If you do a long summer tour, being able to eat at 23.00 would be a plus (maybe not a big choice of dishes but soup, sandwich or salad… ). As well, the curtains are cut in 4… so there are always light coming in no matter how you close them. Maybe having just one curtain to close the full window would be helpful… I would prefer to have a darker room than fancy curtains. All in all I would still recommend the hotel for a stay in the area.
Location, parking and how clean was the place. The room are nice, however the corridor needs some fresh up. The spa is small but fine. The breakfast good and location just perfect to visit Island. The staff was friendly but not proactive in offering services or selling the hotel or the place. I had to ask everything.

CanadaUnfortunately, I think because of our room location (201), it was noisy. We were right next to reception (one floor up), so all the incoming and outgoing activity was disturbing our sleep. In addition, there seems to be some sort of venting scenario where the smells of the restaurant were strong in our room. Not so nice when it was crab seafood -not as bad when it was waffles in the morning. The other thing to note is that there doesn’t seem to be a way of controlling the temperature in the room -and it was warm! No fans… we opened our window. The other issue was the mattress, it was heavily caved in/indented. As I’m pregnant, this was extra uncomfortable. I was also surprised to find that we’d have to pay roughly 30$ each (CDN) to use the pool.
Great location! Appreciated that it included parking and breakfast with lots of variety!
