Each review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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...).

the pictures with our booking let us to believe there was a swimming pool in the hotel which there wasn’t, slightly disappointing. Also the staff was never to be seen at the terrace, twice we waited at the desk only to find the staff member using the sauna themselves.. WhatsApp service also left us on read and never replied.
good breakfast and the saunas and roof top were nice.

not a big deal, the door to the toilet swings into the shower. it works. just weird if you’re sharing with family.
it was close to Altestten train station. about 2 stops to main HB. the room was small but practical. floor to ceiling windows with automatic black out drapes. the sauna area was really relaxing and free. the staff at the bar were very friendly.

it's a massive hotel with many tourist groups arriving and departing, no possibility to open window in the room, bathroom was literally flooding after showering. receptionist was not aware of parking costs outside hotel and instead offered overpriced hotel parking.
location is just few train stops away from the city center, breakfast was decent, not the best but still good.

-No room service. No minibar. -No line to the reception. if I needed anything had to go down to request them. -Not accepting Euros as a form of payment. -No restaurants nearby and everything shuts around 10, as does the hotel restaurant.
Convenient location. 1 min walk to Altstetten station which is a 3-4 min train to Zurich HB. Excellent facilities, there is a sauna and Jaccuzi which is is amazing. Was the highlight of my stay.

The room was too warm during the night. We set the temperature at the lowest possible, but had to ask for a separate fan to keep the temperature down. This was despite the fact that the weather outdoors was not warm.
Clean, light, spacious room. Good gym/training facility. Easy to reach by car and walk to pubic transportation. Good breakfast with good variety.

I wasn’t aware that they changed the policy to prepay rooms. And they were right it was written. but I have stayed here four times now and always pay so I would have liked the grace to pay on arrival.
I love wellness. Also the staff always work with me to get the right room. The upstairs neighbors were noisy this time so they moved me and I was very comfortable.

Somewhat far from the city centre (compared to another stay I had previously in Zurich) however since Zurich’s public transportation is good it’s pretty easy to find your way to where you want to be, only a few minutes walk to buses, trams, etc.
Clean and modern hotel and very spacious. Breakfast is great. Staff is friendly and accommodating when I had to extend my stay more than one time.
