How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

I liked it. It is not super tight and it’s well located. My room had a view to the Swiss Alps, which was awesome. The staff is friendly and helpful. There is a tram station a few mins away

Very noisy, impossible to rest, the price on booking is not what you pay, parking costs separately, city tax too, so you end up at the same price as other hotels. I won't come back mainly because of the noise Also you are forced to have an extra bed in the room, not very comfortable

In a world where ‘tax and fees’ are included to the online price, when you arrive to the reception you need to pay extra city tax+ parking fee 22CHF for 1 night. Near the bed you will find the cabine douche and sink. Lucky us that the wc was 1m away from bad.

Hungary6 reviews6.0“That toilet deserves a decent door”- • Leisure trip
- • Family with young children
- • Economy Twin Room
- • Stayed 2 nights
- • Submitted via mobile
What I couldn't see on the pictures, is that there was no bathroom in the room in the classical sense. The shower cabin was directly in the room separated with a glass door from the rest of the room. But the biggest problem was the lack of a closable toilet door in the room. There was only a wooden slab on hinges and a 10cm gap over and under the slab. So there was nothing to stop the sounds and smells, which is quite embarrassing in a double room. We had to opt for common restrooms. Also, there were not enough wall sockets to charge devices, and there was not enough storage space for clothes, but you can live with that in a budget hotel.
The location is nice, and there's a tram station next to the building. The rooms are clean and the people at the reception were nice. The breakfast is a good value for the price if you can do without a warm breakfast like scrambled eggs, bacon or sausage.

The room was beyond small. I appreciate that this was a 'budget' booking, but I do feel that this stretches the term budget. Sticking a shower cubicle and a toilet into a room is creative at best. It really doesn't allow for much. You could call it a hostel! There is NO WHERE to dress in private, and using the toilet at night means you wake your fellow traveller. Switzerland is expensive, this was pushing the boundaries of value for money though.
The location was good, and the provision of a travel pass for the City was excellent. Parking was very expensive though.
