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 StatesThe bathroom was very dated with a tub that could be a problem for anyone with accessibility issues. Unfortunately our room might’ve been the only one in the hotel without a front or back view. We still enjoyed our stay very much.
The building is beautiful, good restaurant, great breakfast buffet, lovely views out the back and helpful, friendly staff. They accommodated us with an early to-go breakfast so that we could go to the DesAlpes celebration in Charmey, which was greatly appreciated.

United StatesThe bathroom shower was a bit inconvenient with the shower head placement but besides that it was excellent.
Wonderful location right in the center of town. Beautiful accommodations with charming common spaces including the restaurant The room was large with a view! Enjoyed the breakfast Buffett in the morning and loved exploring out back among the hillside gardens. Had one of the best salads on the patio enjoying views of Gruyeres town center. Highly recommend staying!

United StatesThe button to turn on the hand held shower was broken so the shower could not be used only the bathtub. Also there was no extra toilet paper in the bathroom. The gentleman who was setting up breakfast did seemed to be having a hard time getting the coffee machine working and getting the food set up.
The room was beautiful as well as the hallways

United StatesHotel located close to the parking lot and to the bus stop. The town has cobble stone streets, so you don't want to go too far with the rolling bags. Location was perfect. Breakfast was delicious - the best baked goods in any of the hotels we stayed. They had local eggs that you can boil yourself in a machine provided, delicious croissants and breads, and much more! There is a room to hang out in the hotel where you can make yourself tea or coffee all day long, play games or make a business call if you have to. The front of the hotel faces the busy street which was great for people watching. The back has a private patio and a relaxing area that is quiet and has great views. The stuff was very helpful too.

Austria- No mini-bar/-fridge (I know that other hotels in Gruyeres of comparable price have that!) - While personnel was very friendly indeed, dinner service was a bit sluggish / uneven. - Bathroom without a window and grossly inadequate ventilation. Providing a can of air freshener would help offset this. - NB: After my stay, in one of the follow-up messages from "Fleur de Lys via Booking.com" after I booked, I noticed this message: "Please note that the hotel does not allow the consumption or storage of food, alcohol or soft drinks in the rooms or public areas." I think this stipulation is ridiculous and frankly outrageous, infringing on my personal freedoms, and without any legal merit or basis. I strongly suggest the hotel eliminate it to avoid seriously pissing off customers - I will avoid re-booking this hotel as a matter of principle with this disclaimer in place.
Location, setting, breakfast, friendliness of staff, the cat! :)

SwitzerlandRooms were really comfortable and lovely. It was nice to stay in a hotel that seemed authentic for the location. Also, we had our older parents with us, and so it was nice to have a good restaurant on site so it was easy for dinner. It is right on the main street of Gruyere, so overall great for the weekend.
