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.).

FranceWhat is there not to like?
Photos and words cannot do this wonderful place justice. The location is simply breathtaking and once the last ferry leaves around 5:30pm you have the entire island to yourself with the other few hotel guests (10 rooms in total). There are picturesque viewpoints all around the island in the various areas of the botanical garden, where the vegetation is assembled by world region. The restaurant, while expensive, is worth every penny. Certainly one of the best dining experiences we have ever had - an intimate, quiet, superbly delicious meal looking out over the lake to the lovely town of Ascona under the kind and watchful eye of the restaurant manager who handles all table duties alone.

SwitzerlandNo fridge in room and rather silly receptionist lady who said they could not put a bottle in their fridge !! Fortunately a waiter was nearby and decided there really was no problem. The girl's attitude was rather disappointing.
Absolutely fantastic location, total paradise and the botanical gardens of Ticino all to yourself after 18,00hrs. Excellent restaurant with knowledgeable staff. Well worth the price !

FranceThere was nothing we didn't like. It was truly amazing. We might just point out that the breakfast staff may wish to coordinate to make sure they cover the guests by language.
Villa Emden was absolutely amazing. Such a peaceful hotel on a beautiful tiny island in the middle of a Swiss lake. You really have the feeling you have the whole island to yourself.

SwitzerlandAs it is necessary to leave the car at Ascona, Ronco or Brissago for a significant time it would be good to have discounted parking for hotel guests
A beautiful villa, on a magical botanical island, with an absolutely outstanding cuisine. I loved strolling the garden, and swimming in the glorious Lago Maggiore

SwitzerlandAn absolute secret. The most exclusive private place at an most average rate on this beautiful island 10’ from Ascona by taxi or public boat. Beautiful interior design with attention to every little detail in this most historic building. Lovely beach towels and color assorted umbrellas, in case it would rain. Exquisite assortiment of high class teas in addition to the standard nespresso in the room. An outstanding restaurant with most attentive, personalized service with prime quality delicious food, just for the hotel guests. You feel like a queen. Bravo to the team. Just hope it stays a secret.

SwitzerlandNothing I could point my finger to, honestly.
If you are looking for a short/weekend stay, you cannot do better than the Brissago islands-and this hotel. Hosted on a small island, as part of the botanical garden, the hotel is an old villa with only a bunch of charming, well-designed rooms. Restaurant is pretty amazing, and breakfast-really worth your while. Very, very friendly, helpful staff speaks a number of languages.

SwitzerlandBreakfast could have more menu options and freshly prepared items like fresh juices, fruit salad, pastries. The tasting menu we had for dinner was a bit too creative, complicated...very beautiful dishes but too many flavors together.
Amazing place, unique experience. The staff is very friendly. Wine selection from the region was nice and with a good price.
