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.).

PortugalNo tea kettle was provided.
The room was big enough, a bit outdated but comfortable enough. Although it isn't in Lugano city center, it is really close to the promenade in Paradiso, a 30 min walk from Lugano with nice views over the lake. The staff was kind enough to keep our luggage for some hours while we explored the town.

GermanyThe Water pressure in the Shower was very low. It took me an hour to wash my (long) hair. Multiple dead lightbulbs in both the room and the floor. It was hard to see the keyhole in the floor because of that.

SwitzerlandThe room had a really strong, sweet smell as if it had been sprayed with something and we found it really unpleasant. They told us it was 'due to covid protocol'...if that is true they should change the products they use because the smell made us nauseous.
Private bathroom with bathtub, small but warm and functional. The room had a tiny fridge and a table which we found useful. We were also given an electric kettle as requested to keep with us and we appreciated that.

Poland- Dirty bathroom glass for teeth brushing - Shower gels in the small bags are not very convenient - Probems with TV connection
- Big room, which is distinctively seperated from the bathroom and hall - Good localisation in the center of Paradiso; bus stop (one bus line heading to Lugano) and underground parking are just by the hotel - Ticcino card granted for the whole duration of stay (free public transport, discounts for touristic attractions etc.)

SwitzerlandThe walls are thin and left the window open for the night. there was a crying baby in the hotel, that kept us awake the whole night, but that is more like bad luck for us, but thicker walls could have helped. It would be good to spend some money on renovation and upgrading the rooms, but was generally clean.
The location is very good in Paradiso, if you would like to discover the area. The hotel had no refurbishment for a number of years, everything is very basic and old. When low season, you can get a cheap price, but in high season too expensive for the value it provides. The room looked like had a newish carpet and the receptionist was a nice guy.

IrelandOld fashioned rooms which could do with a major refusbishment. Check out was quiet early. The shower head could be hung higher, it had to be handheld in order to wash hair.
Good value for money. Comfortable beds. Clean sheets and towels. Air-conditioner and minibar in room. Friendly staff. The location was good. There is a bus stop right outside the hotel which brings you straight into the centre or to the bus stop.

NetherlandsThe check-in was horrible. Such a unfriendly staffmember. They insisted to make a copy from all our passports. But are really not taking good care of such a confidential documents. The copies of at least months of bookings are laying around on the front desk. He also showed us, that other people didn't have any problem with giving them a copy. I could literally read/see who stayed in this hotel over the past time. This is really not done / very dangerous. We came into a huge discussion. I'm pregnant at the moment and needed to rest as it was already late. It took us 1 hour before we finally got the keys. We were over thinking our decision and wanted to walk away at some point but as we already paid for the room, it would have been a waiste of money.. I do not recommend you to book this hotel, unless you like to have trouble.
The room was totally fine, for the money we paid.
