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 use a weighted review system which means that 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.).

BrazilNothing to complain. During the winter you arrive by cable car, so, be prepared for it. It was a nice experience

SwitzerlandAs we went there at the beginning of November by car, I strongly advise you to follow the road signs and choose the direction toward Champery. Do not rely on Google Maps, as it suggested a route that was actually closed and private, with no road at all, a fact we discovered only a few kilometers before arriving. So, we had to descend by car, go back, and take the road to Champery, which cost us at least an hour. From Champery, there are several signs directing you to Hotel de Ciel, although we were unsure of the route at first, as it seemed to end. We had to drive through the forest on a forest road. The road is narrow, only wide enough for one car, with passing points about every 500 meters to let another car pass. It’s quite challenging, especially at night. If it starts snowing, I doubt there's any way to reach the hotel except by cable car. I was expecting a typical mountain road, as in most Swiss villages, but this one was a bit more challenging. So far, everything was good, and this comment isn’t really related to the hotel itself; it’s more of a heads up for future visitors. The only downside is that the clock in the sauna had stopped, I guess it didn’t have a battery so it was difficult to know if your time had expired, despite there being an hourglass timer inside. I’m not sure if it showed the correct time. Another thing is that it’s quite difficult to find paths to the rooms, sauna, etc. They could improve this by adding some signs to make it easier to find your way, as the layout has many levels/ buildings.
The hotel is located in the heart of nature, surrounded by a beautiful view of the mountains and a "million-star" view of the sky. There is a nice terrace where you can enjoy the view during the day and look at the sky at night. The hotel is a bit old and has a musty smell, but many parts have been renovated, and it is overall well maintained. In the pictures, it looked better, but it was still clean with an amazing view from the balcony. The breakfast was simple but had everything you needed, it was good, and everything was fresh. The jams, juices, croissants, and bread were delicious. The dinner exceeded my expectations, the taste of the food was excellent! I suggest you book both, the breakfast and dinner as there is nowhere else to eat:) The staff was very nice and polite. One of the advantages of this hotel was the private sauna room, which could be reserved just for you, though you had to book it in advance at the reception. However, there were available time slots. There are several trails around, you can walk to the small artificial lake, which has a nice view. You can also hike up to Portes du Soleil, which was a very nice hike with breathtaking views and very few people.

United KingdomDated room with curtain separation between room and shower sink ( door to toilet) Different rather than a problem. Very challenging drive to reach the hotel. Research the route thoroughly before hand and DO NOT use Google maps. Not the hotels fault just advice for travelers.
An amazing location with outstanding views. Second to none. Staff were great. We arrived very late and missed the restaurant, but staff were able to provide bread, ham and cheese and two left over deserts despite the kitchen being shut. Would loved to have stayed longer than one night to enjoy the hotel and views. Also excellent beer!
