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.).

Germanyhonestly ... maybe only the extra parking fee of 22 CHF.
I like the modern bathroom in the room. The bedsheets were super pleasant as the room itself. I liked the breakfast and pool which was heated. I truly enjoyed our stay there with the family. They had some board games that my girls loved and the location to hike Monte San Salvatore is great.

Switzerland- Shower glass was not entirely covered, making it slightly awkward when taking a shower. - Bathroom door is more like a wardrobe door and is not noise / sight proof. - Was missing a few, small complimentary items for the price

She is positive, serves with a beautiful smile, humble and nothing is too much trouble for her. I hope you feed this back. People are often all too quick to complain but she deserves GREAT feedback.

Saudi ArabiaBreakfast should have more variety, like some arabic dishes. Also they should write the names and the components of the dishes. For the bathroom, the glass is not covered will so you can see anyone inside it during the shower. Changing the towels on daily base should be shown.

AzerbaijanI booked 2 standard rooms for myself and my family. The rooms were not very big but were full of facilities. Even if I can't operate the Nespresso machine), I enjoyed my 1 night stay at the Novotel. And BIG applause go to the breakfast itself and the breakfast area. The variety of products you would expect only from 5-star hotels, wide area. Very easy access from the central station to the hotel and from the hotel to the city centre. I will definitely choose Novotel for my next trip to Lugano. Maybe even just for breakfast :)

Switzerlandsmall rooms and chaotic check in due to ibis/ibis budget and Novotel being checked in at the same counter. staff is very young and not trained for a 4 stars hotel. with check in for ibis budget and Novotel at the same counter one wonders why one is paying premium fee to stay at Novotel since the entrance, lobby, elevators, corridors, breakfast room are all shared and the rooms are adjacent on the same floors. kinda not worth it and not well thought.

FinlandThe bed was unfortunately a bit uncomfortable, pillows and blankets, too. Perhaps we have gotten used to our Tempur bed + accessories so everything else just feels thin and poor. Also, the air conditioning didn’t work properly and it was too hot in the room.
The staff went over and beyond to serve us as a family with a 1,5 yo toddler. I can’t thank enough the ladies at the front desk for arranging us an early check-in even with a fully booked hotel, so that we got our daughter for a nap. Also, the gentleman at the restaurant was so incredibly nice for us at the dinner! The property is also very clean and in good shape. We liked the room. Coffee machine is always a big plus.

SwitzerlandDuring winter season, the guests of the adjacent Ibis appear to have breakfast at the Novotel as well, which is understandable but still a bit annoying (probably not only for the guests): slightly crowded elevators and restaurant, noisy, and need to reserve a table.
Professional staff, very friendly and helpful, very good English. Very clean and quite rooms. Also enjoyed the restaurant, great breakfast and nice dinner, comfy lounge at the bar. Nice pool for a few swims before breakfast, was still warm enough end of October 2022. Good WiFi. Just a few steps to the Lake or to the Funicular. Nice 15-20 mins walk along the lake promenade to downtown Lugano.
