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.).

SingaporeThe bells in the village toll quite loudly. I woke up early but if you don't be warned.
The house staff were friendly and informative. The property itself is dated but it is very well maintained and the room was quiet and comfortable. I chose to stay in one of the larger rooms facing the rear courtyard and it was as billed - quiet. I stayed another two nights!

Czech RepublicThe hotel is located in the center of the small town on the main square. We really liked the folklore festival and the spontaneous performances of the artists. We admired the local costumes that the ladies and gentlemen were wearing.

The room decor was Swiss|German and matched the area we were visiting..Very lovely with new modern bathroom. Breakfast was your typical fare…but still plenty to eat. All the staff were welcoming and helpful when spoken to. Restaurant meal was tasty enough with a few drinks.

SingaporeThis is a matter of taste but the bed was too soft. We are also used to having a hot water kettle in the room to be able to make hot water but there was no coffee/tea set. The hotel was able to provide us with a flask of warm water which is a partial solution.
The hotel was well located in the middle of the town. Breakfast had plenty of quality options - particularly fresh bread. Dinner was very tasty and the service was friendly and helpful.

SwitzerlandNothing to do with the property - the eternal tolling of the church’s bell !!! Every 15 mns during the whole night… and special “symphony “ at 6 a.m You better get used to it in Switzerland ‘s small towns! Or don’t forget your earplugs if you wish to sleep the night thru without interruption…
Everything from the decoration to the atmosphere, cozy homy feeling , good breakfast, attentive staff and specially Corinne, smiling and communicative ( not everyone speaks English)…owner / manager also always on the premises saluting guests. Excellent location to park the car ( with blue disk) right in front of the hotel. Rooms in the attic/third floor are charming and spacious, grand bathroom with ( oh! What a luxury!) walk-in shower. Ammenities ( liquid soap and body lotion ) amazingly good.

SwitzerlandThere was no free water in the room nor options to make coffee/tea. Pillows were a little too soft too.. had to request extra pillows.
The location of the hotel was great. Close proximity to the all hiking trails. The food at the restaurant was excellent and staffs were friendly and attentive. We loved the eggs menu on breakfast but found the sweet options limited. There is a sauna in the hotel too but no parking. You would need to pay for CHF8 per day parking nearby.
