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're 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 Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
Guidelines and Standards for Reviews
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

Old school mechanical lock system means your neighbor can barge in unintentionally, if you forget to latch your door with the key. Rooms facing the main street can be noisy throughout the night. No bar or restaurant (other than for breakfast). To be fair there are spots right next door.
10 minutes by foot from the train station, in a great location. Very clean. Small, only 40 some rooms. Breakfast was overseen by a very personable proprietor. Great value by comparison to the 5 star spots surrounding it.

The heating was too warm for sleeping and although we turned it down it stayed warm. In the end we opened a window at night which fixed the problem (we were on the 5th floor).
Breakfast was amazing, so many choices and the freshest of fresh fruit salad. All delicious. Staff were excellent. The hotel and rooms were very clean and comfortable.

I liked everything about this Hotel. However, It is a 4 star hotel without a bar or restaurant that serves lunch or dinner. However, there are some really nice restaurants within a short 5 minute walk of this hotel.
The hotel is in a building that is about 300 years old. It is very updated in a way that emphasizes the charm and style of Old Geneva. It has very interesting modern art from an earlier age decorating the rooms and hallways. It had a breakfast room that served an excellent breakfast.

Great location of the hotel in the center of Geneva and very close to the train station. Main sights and a lot of choices for restaurants are in a short walking distance. Very friendly and polite staff, always willing to help. Service was professional and efficient at all times. Room was spacious and the beds very comfortable.

The rooms we stayed in only have a shower, no bath. After a long day, it’s nice to take a relaxing bath. But the shower is very nice, so this is not really an issue.
Excellent location, very nice staff, delicious breakfast, very clean. The rooms we stayed in were very modern.
