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.).

SwitzerlandWe stayed at "Marguerite" room #10. Bath tube and and shower is weird and uncomfortable for shower. The light on the hall to the main door is a moving-sensor and there is no door between the hall and where the beds are, so anytime anyone goes to the badroom in the middle of the night the light goes on and wakes everybody. The light turns out after 5 minutes automatically. Just put a switch to turn off manually as well.
Ideal location, couldn't be better. Despite not having parking the closest public parking works perfectly. Friendly staff and very "Swiss-like" hotel.

AustraliaBreakfast was available at an additional cost, but not at an overwhelming cost benefit.
Pretty hotel, as if in a post card. Being able to stroll in the center of the medieval town late in the evening and early in the morning were special treats. Our room was small but lovely, extremely clean and appropriate for an overnight stay in the medieval town of Gruyere. Staff was very welcoming.

SwitzerlandThe curtains were quite thin and did not block the sun at all, so if you need darkness to sleep, bring a sleep mask. One night the smell of fondue was coming in the room.
The hotel was in old town of Gruyères, so excellent location for the castle, the museums etc. The breakfast was a buffet with meat, cheeses, cereal, croissants and fresh bread. The staff were friendly and helpful. The hotel restaurant had a good variety of dishes and not just fondue. The room was clean, with an ensuite bathroom with a shower. Shampoo/shower gel and soap was provided. During the day you could hear the visitors in the square of Gruyères, but at night it was quiet.

United StatesThe hotel is in the village of Gruyère, a walled medieval village that is a popular tourist location in southern Switzerland. The town is lovely, with cobblestone streets, a central fountain, and a fortress castle. The Hotel de Ville and restaurant was one of many along the one Main Street and was high on charm and quaint-ness. It had a small elevator to get our suitcases up to the 2nd floor. The room itself was nice with a comfortable bed and adequate lighting with the street-facing window. But with charm come issues. The street itself is closed at 9:30 AM so that meant hauling your bags up a hill from the parking lot and down across cobblestone street to the hotel. Although we could drive the car in the next morning to load up closer, you then had to remove the car before the street barriers went up at 9:30. There is no way to get hot water for tea in the room. Hot water for showers was not available till 7:30 am.

United StatesPerfect location in the middle of the old town. In walking distance to shops/restaurants, castle, as well as the Gruyeres cheese factory down the hill. Clean, comfortable, cozy. Free wifi. Many places seemed closed perhaps due to the season (January) and/or COVID-19, so we had a bit of trouble finding a place to eat breakfast that was under 15 CHF--We ended up happily eating at the cheese factory in the morning before catching the train out of town. The hotel serves breakfast, but it was just outside our budget. The hosts seemed very nice and welcoming.

Czech RepublicThe fridge in the room was an industrial (bar) fridge shining with bright neon when on. No dedicated receptionist - the reception is served by the restaurant staff that might not have full knowledge of the system. Comprehensible instructions were not provided regarding parking options upfront, had to improvise but in the end the staff were very helpful with instructions regarding the remote public parking functionning
Hotel right on the main square, friendly staff advised about eating options. Traditional basic wood-furnished clean room

SwitzerlandThe bathroom does not provide proper ventilation and it is difficult not to water the floor of the bathroom while taking a shower, because of how the shower is oriented. Otherwise it was a very nice stay, slept really well in a very calm environment with tremendous view.
