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.).

Israel1. Breakfast is poor, i was really hungry after it, but in Italy it’s usual story. 2. I can not give high mark to the cleaning service, because we received room with a lot of dust and dirty carpets.
From the first minute of arriving to the hotel you feel that you are important guest. The staff is friendly and very careful. There is s valet parking. You are here only for relax! The hotel is historic with big history, art of heritage. The room with fantastic view on the lake, with terrace where you can spend romantic evenings with s glass of champagne. In the hotel too there is nice piano bar for the evenings. The hotel is situated 5-10 min walk to the boat station, where you can take boat excursions to the Borromeo islands. and a few words about SPA- this is fantastic.

United KingdomOur standard room was nice with a perfect bathroom; however, the room was small. There was no space to dry stuff after swimming. The air-conditioning was centrally turned off which was very uncomfortable because the windows must be kept closed due to the busy road. We have been offered a fan which made the free space in the room even smaller. We did not enjoy meals at dinner. Not all staff were friendly and helpful.
This beautiful baroque style hotel would be sought for anywhere but being at one of the most attractive locations in Europe with fairy-tale balcony views makes it truly exceptional. It is very clean and well maintained with 21st century equipment and beautiful, new, and very well-equipped spa. Breakfast was very tasty. Many restaurants with excellent choice, reasonable prices and good service were available in the town centre, 10 minutes walking distance.

United StatesThe hotel schedule is extremely rigid. Check in is at 3pm.and checkout at 12pm. We arrived late after a longer than expected drive and went to bed right away. The next day we had breakfast, checked out from the room at 11:15 and planned to use the pool and spa them for a couple hours. However neither the spa staff, nor front desk and concierge would allow us to enter the spa /pool as there was not enough enough time left. It was 11:30am at this time. So we ended up not using the pools and spa at all. The spa and pool area was one of the main attractions and reasons for us selecting this hotel. Not being able to explore this, was very disappointing and made the hotel stay substantial less enjoyable. In fact, it left a negative impression on us.
Overall hotel setup is fantastic Breakfast buffet is outstanding. Location is superb

United KingdomThere was a wedding that did take over the whole of the communal area which was rather off putting for other guests, there were plenty of private rooms that could have been used rather than the public bar, we couldn’t move around at all. However, it did look like they had a great wedding!
One of the most beautiful hotels we’ve ever stayed at. The spa and pool are splendid. The staff are attentive and friendly.

SwitzerlandIt doesn’t feel like a 5-star hotel in some aspects. For example, there’s no tea or coffee available in the room. Because it is a centenary building, the sound isolation is not good. We heard phone alarms, flushing the toilet, people talking in other rooms. Spa is much smaller than expected for the size of the hotel. Need to book in advance during the weekends.
The hotel is beautiful and well maintained. Breakfast was good. There’s plenty of parking spaces if you are travelling by car. The indoor swimming pool is nice.
