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

CanadaLack of True Air Conditioning, basically the air conditioning unit acts as a fan. It was a heat wave during my stay, so was not sufficient. Not the fault of the Hotel, its a Swiss Environmental law.
Great facilities in a perfect location. Close to train and bordering the Old Town. Lots of restaurants in the area. They also had a great work out room and a large pool and Sauna.

United KingdomNo milk in the room - English people like milk in their English breakfast tea! And in their coffee. Took such a longtime for a carafe of water to reach our table at dinner - after the alcoholic drinks had been brought, and after a reminder - that in the end I had to go back up to our room to fetch my own water bottle. I can see you might be short staffed on a Sunday evening. Food OK, but a disappointingly limited menu, and no local wines - compared unfavourably to the excellent food we had in other Swiss hotels we stayed at that week.
Large and comfortable room. Friendly staff. Much enjoyed the swimming.

United KingdomCar park entrance and interior space very, very tight for all but the smallest cars. Room was v hot and air conditioning not working. Solved by opening window and turning off radiator that had been left on full. Breakfast was average. Coffee machines not working properly and no warning lattes fit only into large cups.
Location, quality of the room, breakfast included, parking available.

Switzerland-The beds creaked. -There are no blinds or shutters; and the hotel curtains did not completely black out. - The toilet door could not be closed silently. -The slamming of the doors of the neighbouring rooms could be heard in the room. -There were no bathrobes or slippers in the room; they could be ordered, but this took a long time. - It was not pointed out that public transport is included in the spa tax; therefore we paid for the ticket from the airport to the hotel unnecessarily.
All overall alright.

SwitzerlandI left my car in the garage and I have to say that the garage is very small. I have BMW X1 and I had problems to park it there. If you have a bigger car it can be impossible for you to leave your car there.
It is very nice hotel, situated very close to the city center. Very gentle stuff, good breakfast, wellness center for free - I have nothing to complain about.
