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.).

AustraliaBit warm in the room. Sunny side of the building. Able to open the windows and door to ease the conditions inside.😉
Really lovely accommodation. Near to the train and Lucerne city, Altstadt, and Quay (ferry terminals). Road the ‘Next bike’ pay as you go bicycles all about. Enjoyed the swimming beach by the lake, only steps from the accommodation. Couple of cheap take out shops and supermarket only a few streets back. Delightful stay….🥳

GermanyI loved staying here, no complaints honestly. For a 2 nights stay , we loved how smoothly we could plan on the go, from a good night sleep to preparing breakfast and meals.
Location - You need to have a car/bike or catch a bus to reach the hostel. There are buses every minute which takes you to Lucerne central. You can also walk for 1.4 km along the lake side. It's located in quiet neighbourhood. There is a beach/park reachable on foot and it is so beautiful in the evenings. Kitchen - Everything from cutlery , to Rice cooker, stove, some spices , salt etc is available. there are two kitchens. The only downside is stove is switched off between 9 p.m to morning 8 a.m. But everything else like toasters ,kettle can be used. Very clean and well organised. Room- We had a 2 year old infant, they provided us baby cot. As the room was a bit small,So it was a little short on space for us to move. But it is not so inconvenient when you are only coming home to sleep. The beds were well made and comfy Bathrooms- Very neat and clean, there were several in each section of the floor. General - There were toys, books ,games kept in the main area. So my little one played while i was making some food for us. Reception - Very friendly and helpful. The receptionist also recommended us on a local trip information. They also provide guest pass which you can use to travel within 10 zone in Lucerne. Overall, Totally recommendable for anyone and everyone.

United StatesOn-site coffee (even they charged for it) would be great. They do give out tea bags.
From the moment I arrived, I was greeted by a friendly staff who lent me the lobby fan for my room due to a heatwave. The room, bathrooms, kitchen and public spaces were immaculate. The hostel is in a great location next to a park fronting Lake Lucerne with local sights (including boats touring Lake Lucerne) a 10-minute walk away. Nearby is also a Migros grocery store where I stocked up daily on food for the day as well as a morning coffee. While the train and bus stations are both within walking distance, if you've got lots of luggage you can walk for a couple of minutes to catch a bus, which is free with the Lucerne Card they'll give you (which also includes free wifi in many places).
