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.).

Amazing decor and so welcoming. Lovely bedrooms and very accommodating when asking for anything e.g. booking the bar/restaurant or getting a kettle to the room. Overall the best hotel we’ve ever stayed in. Already would love to come back!

United StatesUnfortunately you are at the mercy of the funicular to ride up. When we showed up one of them was broken/down for maintenance and then on our last night the other one broke down. If you drive a car it isn’t a big deal but it did suck for us to go do laundry and get out and stuff it required either a physical hike or a bolt ride of 10+ CHF
Very nice property with excellent views.

United KingdomThe rail line that went up to the hotel was alittle grubby and dark. (Although still felt very safe) Empty bottles left on the side and only one lift worked. So this took along time to collect you. Also it was very hard to carry the cases up the stairs to reception from here. But we are young-ish and semi fit so we managed. I did kind of enjoy traveling up to out castle at the end of the day.
The best views in the city. I like the regal decor and the dark moody bar that over looks the city. The bedrooms are very clean and have a knod to the traditional style. My room 46, also over looked the city and lake, fantastic view. The lift was quick, didn't wait long to get to the 4th floor in the hotel. The room wash very warm so slept with window open, this ment you could hear the train line below but that didn't bother us.

CanadaRelatively small room, but the view makes up for it.
This is arguably the best Hotel location for views - it's up on a hill, you have to get up via an elevator. You can see the entire city, Lake Lucerne and surrounding Mountains. Get the room with Balcony and you will be able to enjoy the best view.

United StatesThe bathroom in our room was a bit less private than expected where only a frosted glass door separated the toilet and shower from the sinks.
Perfectly situated atop of a hill overlooking Lucerne with easy access to the city via their free funicular and Lucerne bus/transport pass. Loved the little extras like the comfy slippers, minibar drinks and sweets as well as the wonderful breakfast buffet.

United StatesLocation funky and eclectic. We loved it but some might find tedious. Actually VERY close to downtown (bridge walks, etc) but 10 minute schlep, edge of town sort of thing. Once on hill overseeing town, perfect and somewhat isolated. 2nd choice in Luzern would be Grand Hotel. But way more typical, upscale property on busier strip.
On site restaurant (daily breakfast upscale, delicious and facility amazing) and American Bar very cool (inside and outside). Room large and meticulous. Always stocked mini bar included. Grounds very cool. People very friendly, well trained and efficient.
