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):
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...).

United StatesLow lighting levels in the room were made worse by dark green paint color. Minimal electrical outlets made charging a challenge. Somewhat difficult to check in using electronic tablet without staff assistance, and electronic tablet check out did not function.
Very good location, easy walk to station. Comfortable bed, good shower.

United StatesThere is no staff. Check-in requires the guest to enter his/her information into a kiosk in order to receive a key card. The question that stumped us was Nationality. There was no selection for USA, US or other variations of the nationality listed on my passport. Further, the kiosk will not advance the check-in process until each question is answered in turn. Fortunately, a staff member of the cafe knew that US citizens should answer the question as "American". We were not the only ones having this difficulty. The British couple in line behind us had a similar issue. The problem is that with no on-site staff, issues cannot be resolved.
The room was comfortable and quiet.

United StatesArrived in Zurich via train at 11:30. We decided to have lunch nearby before heading to the hotel since check in is at 2pm. We finished early and decided to head to the hotel hoping we could check in a little early (arrived there at around 1:30). We were told we have to wait til 2 to check in. So we sat at the cafe. There is no front desk. Check in is self service but easy enough.
Location and room. It is walking distance from Zurich HB and meeting place for the tour we purchased. We took uber from the train station only to find out it is walking distance. We walked there when we left. The room - even though it was a bit tiny, it worked for my husband and I. It’s actually pretty cute and clean!

SwitzerlandI still prefer people over machines as a general rule and in my particular case the Check-in automaton couldn’t grant me access to my room a bit earlier than Check-in time even though it probably was ready (the Hotel wasn’t full)
The rooms are nicely appointed and functional. However, quite small for two people.

United KingdomWe asked the lady at the reception if someone can fix the electrical socket. She was rude and said that she will inform. But it was never fixed.
Excellent location. Just a couple of minutes walk from the HBF. Excellent train, tram and bus transportation. Plenty of eating options nearby.

United KingdomThe hotel's staff isn't onsite and the coffee shop people are responsible (or not) to assist. While the check in is self check in, if you have any other complicated requests you'd have to walk around the block to go to the hotel's other building. It was a challenge getting simple requests met (room did not have an iron+ironing board and it took a while to get it). It was a bit more inconvenient to not have the AC properly working all three days and Zurich gets hot in August so rest was a bit patchy. I booked this place entirely for the rooftop to which we did not have access on any of the 3-4 days I stayed there. It may have rained one day but it could have been opened for an hour or two when it was 100% clear skies and sunny. The staff just can not be bothered. All in all the place has a lot of potential if they could work on customer service a bit.
Location of this place is brilliant as it's close to the central station. The size of the bathroom and the room itself was large and well done. I could also store my luggage safely which was appreciated.

United KingdomA bit more space- a fridge
Good location, adequately equipped - small and very compact rooms, just about cooled down - good light and sound blockage . Tea coffee in room - no fridge - which given high temps was sorely missed. Local Coop shop nearby- nice café in downstairs for apero. All automated check in - so cant really say how staff were.
