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.).

United Arab EmiratesThr staff could not handle higher volume at breakfast and people after us were left with very little food options. We requestes the bar fridge to be swapped (was not cooling) and the toilet seat to be fixed; that was ignored and nothing was done. Our room was also not serviced and we ran out of shower gel, so poor service from housekeeping. Exceptionally low doorways and light fixtures. Anyone above 1.6m will have problems bumping into fixtures hanging from the ceiling.
Stunning breakfast with great quality and diversification. Nice location - central.

United KingdomWould have liked more than 1h in the sauna, but appeared that 1h was the maximum allotted time. Maybe this was due to the time that I arrived at, so is reasonable if this is the case. The sauna could have done with some pre-heating/water putting on the coals, but it worked out mostly fine anyway.
The location was pretty good - a few hills to climb by foot but nothing too bad. Beware the mapping directions, they easy to mislead you from the train station. The facilities were good, the steam room was off for the month so used the sauna instead. Was able to roast in the sauna then go directly outside the door to relax. The breakfast was pretty good. Maybe a little expensive at 20CHF, but had croissants and nice honey.

SwitzerlandDo double-check directly with the hotel if you wish to have separate beds, since they say that booking does not transmit this information. Also, do not forget to put something into the door to leave it open when you go out onto the terrasse of the spa area in order not to be locked out. The hotel is older and smaller than the photos portray. The breakfast is overpriced.
The beds were comfortable, the breakfast and spa were nice and the staff was friendly. The hotel is close to (but not in) the Gruyère village.

SwitzerlandGiven that our room was right in front of the entrance, so a bit of an unfortunate spot, the walls are pretty thin and you hear almost everything and everyone who walks by (hardwood flooring), but that also sort of makes the charm of these wooden houses in Switzerland, anyway if you're a light sleeper you won't get a lot of sleep.
The receptionist who welcomed us and worked the following evening was one of the nicest I've ever met! He explained everything clearly and showed us where we could get discounts in restaurants etc, and one evening my friend and I were a bit cold and asked if there was any way to get a warm cup of tea, and he lent us a kettle, cups, sugar and tea bags! We could enjoy our hot cup of tea on the balcony while admiring the beautiful view on the mountains.

SwitzerlandIt was a bit warm in the room but we could open the window so it ended up fine. Overall a very good stay.
Exceptional views from the breakfast terrace, and a very nice breakfast. The location could not be better to enjoy Gruyeres after the crowds have left and enjoy the evening lights. Great service, will definitely recommend to anyone wanting to stay in Gruyeres.

SwitzerlandThe breakfast is way to expensive. For CHF 20.00 you get bread and cereals but they don't offer you anything warm (eggs and the usual stuff). The hotel only has 15 parking spots (for around 40 rooms). Some of these spots were always occupied by local people and you are actually lucky to get one of these. The other option would be a public parking which you have to pay for and some of them are a bit further down.
We stayed for a week and enjoyed it very much. The hotel is perfectly located and the staff is very friendly, helpful and nice. The view and the surrounding is wonderful as it is placed right outside of Gruyeres oldtown. The Sauna / Spa area is small but beautiful and we appreciated that we could book it for only the two of us during the pandemic.

SwitzerlandThe check-in times for this hotel are unfortunately quite late in the afternoon, which can be a significant inconvenience if you are only staying for one night. Furthermore, parking can be a challenge as there is limited space available at the hotel. However, for a small additional fee of CHF 10, guests can opt to park in the lower parking areas, although it may be difficult to navigate with a lot of luggage. It's essential to note that the rooms are quite small, so it's best to view this hotel as a sleep-only option. Finally, it's worth mentioning that our room had some cleanliness issues, such as noticeable marks on the drinking glasses.
I must say, the hotel's location was superb. The staff went above and beyond in being friendly and helpful, which made my stay all the more enjoyable. Furthermore, the breakfast served was absolutely fantastic! It is perfect for one evening you just want to rest your head at night.
