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.).

SwitzerlandMinor things: the room was quite small (expected though) and instead of one large bed, it was two single ones pushed next to each other.
Beautiful location, right in the middle of the old town.

FranceIt was a bit difficult to find the reception to check in because you have to go inside the restaurant and ask to check in. The public car parks are located outside the town and cars are not allowed in the town, so there a bit of a climb to reach the hotel from the car park.
The hotel is located on the main street of the town. The room we got has a view on the main street on one side and a view on the valley on the other side. The staff were very friendly and helpful.

SwitzerlandWhile I slept, I felt the cold, so the only negative was the temperature of the room. Maybe it was possible to regulate the temperature, I don't know. For the rest, very good.
A very cosy hotel, very central, very warm. The room was clean, with enough space for two people and for a short stay. We did not eat in the hotel restaurant, just a small snack, and we enjoyed it very much. The staff was very friendly, they allowed us to check in earlier and on departure they kept our luggage for us. A pleasant experience, which I would definitely recommend.

SwitzerlandThe reservation process was a bit complicated and we did not really get what we reserved. This may be the fault of booking.com and not the property, so take with a grain of salt.
Fantastic location in the middle of the old Gruyeres town. Very good restaurant.

United KingdomWhile the room itself was spacious and had a stunning mountain view, I encountered an issue with the shower's sliding doors, which didn't close properly. I ended up checking out a day earlier than planned. I understand the policy of paying for the full stay, but it would have been appreciated if the hotel could have offered a partial discount.
Our room was incredibly spacious and offered a breathtaking view of the mountains. The hotel is perfectly situated in a great location.

BrazilWe arrived in the end of the day, during the dinner, and since the reception and restaurant are in the same place, nobody from hotel approached us to give any information about the check in. We walked through the hotel looking for information, with the luggage and nobody showed up to help us. The staff could've been more kind and friendly with the guests arriving. Understandable they are busy with the restaurant, but could've given us some information where to wait, something like that.
Hotel location is amazing. You'll stay in the heart of Gruyere. Breakfast was good and the staff during the breakfast and checking out was very kind and helpful.

United StatesDue to a heat wave, air conditioning would have been welcome. But the staff provided us with a fan, which really helped. We understand that this type of historic hotel is not suited to modern type air conditioning.
Location, location, location! Hotel de Ville has an absolutely fantastic location in Gruyeres. And the view from the room's window is fantastic!!
