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 only minor issue that arose didn't directly involve the hotel or its' staff. We asked the concierge to arrange for a taxi to the airport for us, and i was disappointed to discover our driver took the long way around (I'm familiar with Zurich after many business and holiday visits), for what I could only interpret as an effort to increase the fare. It's minor in the scheme of things, but I resent being taken advantage of for any reason. That said, everything I said in my previous comments still fully apply, and we will make it a point to return to the Widder on future visits to Zurich.
This was simply a top-notch experience from start to finish. From our arrival to our departure, nothing was lacking in making our stay comfortable and enjoyable.

MaltaThat I didn’t get the suite with the terrace which I booked. I stayed at the Widder many times before. The location and that the suite has a terrace were the main reasons for always staying at the Widder when coming to Zurich.
The location is excellent.

IsraelThe room itself couldn't be cooled down properly, and we had this absurd situation in which the nights outside were pretty cold (around 10 degrees celsius), but it was too hot for us to sleep properly. We couldn't open the windows because the church bells sounds are pretty close, loud, and persistent :). We notified the staff about this but apparently there's nothing that can be done - it's something that has to do with a/c restrictions in the city. It might have even been exacerbated by the fact the room was so large. Anyway, bottom line is we didn't sleep that well because it was too hot in the room. Even so, it was a really small dent in what was a great weekend vacation.
The staff were incredible - attentive to our every need, courteous and proactive - even providing us with an amazing room upgrade and decorating the room for our wedding anniversary - we didn't even have to ask! Amazing. Also, the hotel is spot on in the center of the old city, easy walking to mostly everywhere, and an overall lovely neighborhood. The breakfast is awesome, with a great buffet and great choices overall. The bar is also very nice, with a great ambience, great selection and attentive service.

United StatesThe staff were incredibly helpful and went out of their way to ensure everything was to our satisfaction. We borrowed the electric bikes for free to ride around Zurich. The room was beautiful and had tasty chocolates. There are lots of spaces to sit in and entertain. The breakfast was very tasty.
