Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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):
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.
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...).

AustraliaThe pool does tend to get very crowded. Conferences are run close to the pool which can get quite loud.
Great aesthetic, wonderful food and an amazing pool! Staff went over and above to make our stay extra special.

Switzerlandthe rooms look better on photos than in real life: they seem a bit (too) cold overall and in parts lack the quality we expected (e.g. what seemed to be a natural stone floor turned out to be plastic). we do not think that booking a terrace room is worth an extra charge at this hotel.
the buzz around the the calile is high - as is the price tag. and therefore our expectations. the hustle and bustle around the pool and at the lobby bar did not disappoint. we in particular also enjoyed our coffees and drinks at the lobby bar, which is run by hands-down the most attentive and friendly staff you could wish for. other highlights included the well-equipped gym and the generous walk-in shower in our room.

AustraliaUnfortunately we were presented with heavy rain for two whole days. The sun appeared on the day we checked out. Our entire trip was based around a very young ones enjoying their first holiday in hotel with a pool. We requested a late check out which understandably was not available. We however were shocked to find that the kids not continue to swim and enjoy the pool for additional hour post check out. I do not see the harm in letting them, given my partner and I would have continued to spend money at the pool restaurant and bar. Of which we ended up doing in their lobby bar as we waited to get an Uber to airport.,
Huge rooms, lovely amenities, friendly staff + fun location!

AustraliaThe cost of the room is substantial, and doesn’t include parking. Wifi didn’t seem to work either, at the pool or in the room.
The welcome map, and attentiveness of the porter. The location, the pool and the room robe.

CanadaUnfortunately the pool area was packed so took awhile to get a lounger and staff never cleaned up used glasses/towels of people who had left. Not enough towels and challenging to relax in the pool when it was so busy/felt cramped.
Great location and helpful staff during check in/out. Lovely comfortable room with completely black out blinds. Breakfast in the café in the morning was tasty and restaurant staff were prompt.
