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...).

Great location of the hotel not far from the station and at the same time close to the lake. Very helpful staff, modernly equipped hotel, coffee machine in the room.

Very nice hotel in a great location, feels recently refurbished to a high standard too. The staff are extremely pleasant and helpful. The rooms are better than many 4 star hotels. Breakfast basic but fresh and plentiful. Fresh coffee pods a nice touch in the room.

United KingdomCleaning of the corridors and stairs was a bit skimpy.
The hotel sent a Geneva Transport card before our arrival so all our transport was free. Easy train ride from the airport then a 5 minute walk. A couple of minutes to Lake Geneva. A very warm welcome and an upgrade to a superior room. The room was large, clean and comfortable. Excellent shower. Breakfast was continental. Varied and excellent quality. I loved the yogurt. All the staff were excellent, friendly and efficient.

LithuaniaThe price, but this is common in Geneva. Though still, for this price it would be nice to have breakfast included.
It is not the 1st time I am staying in the hotel, I usually just choose based on the most reasonable price, this time it was this hotel. The location is excellent.

DenmarkI always love staying here. The staff are friendly and helpful; the breakfast is good; the rooms are big and functional, overall great ratio price-comfort. And the location is great for anything you could possible have to do in Geneva or its surroundings. This time, I was in a room in the new extension of the hotel: top notch. With a room at the back of the hotel, you are close to everything without any noise nuisance.

United StatesIt's advertised that it has a gym/fitness center and the small room has 2 bikes and a step machine. There are no weights or any way to work out your upper body. They need to add that into the room for it to be more of a fitness center.
I loved the location. The hotel is centrally located to everything. The room was a decent size.

United KingdomWe were satisfied with every aspect of our stay.
The reception staff were very friendly and helpful. The room was small but perfectly adequate for our needs and the bed was very comfortable. The location was ideal - a few minutes' walk from the train station and a minute from the lakeside. What really impressed us was that the hotel had emailed us, a few days before our stay, with a link to a free Geneva travel pass for local trains, buses, trams and water taxis. This meant that when we arrived in Geneva we just hopped onto a train from the airport to the station close to the hotel without the need to buy a ticket.

United KingdomA staff member fitted a new light fitting on the middle of one day when I was out and after 15 minutes of waiting I asked him to leave so I could shower ( which he did with no complaint). I don’t think changing fittings should be done whilst a guest is staying ( this was a change not a fix to lights that were broken) , if they waited a month until off season when occupancy will be less it would make more sense! The room key had to be reactivated twice after stopping working.
Air con worked very well, this was important as I stayed during a heatwave. Location was as described , which was central and very close to the lake and nice quiet location. Staff spoke excellent English to me ( so neither of us had to suffer from my poor French). Good bed ,OK pillows .From other hotels I had viewed for a similar price I was glad I stayed here.

United KingdomFor a short stay it was ideal, but for longer it might be a problem not have a proper cupboard for hanging up clothes. There was an open rail with hangers in view above a chest of drawers which would not be good if hanging up dresses. The TV also only seemed to work for streaming apps…but that could have been me not understanding the remote control!
Small boutique hotel, close to the lake, very central to all train and bus connections. Friendly staff at a low-key reception and in the adjoining cafe. My room, overlooking the road, was tastefully laid out with a comfy bed, good shower and a chaise longe. Even the heating/air-con system worked well to cool down the room in the evening. In a city full of millionaires, this was a good value hotel which delivered more than I expected.
