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...).

AustraliaThere was a coffee maker and fridge but no kettle or other plates/cutlery. I used the hot water function on the coffee maker to make my own tea but it was not super hot. The two cups that were there were different sizes (one big and one small), so if you were with someone else then you could not have the same coffee. Two pods for the coffee maker provided free, but one was decaf - so again for two people not ideal.
Staff were friendly, checkout until 12 was great for me, but check in at 4 may be too late for some. Room was spacious and comfortable. wonderful shower! Aircon a blessing after a hot day. Location was amazing - very central.

United KingdomI didn’t find anything about Hotel Rousseau that I didn’t like.
The hotel was centrally located, walking distance to cafés, restaurants, shopping, river. The Geneva transport pass provided was great for getting to and from the airport. Also used the pass for ferry trips across Lake Geneva. Hotel staff were friendly and knowledgeable about the area.

The location is fantastic. Space is luxury comparing with the others with similar price and location. The room is very clean.

AustraliaNo English Breakfast Tea or Milk/Creama if you don't drink coffee Could not open window for fresh air as it is broken.
Great value for Excellent Location Right in the heart of city a block from lakeside surrounded by restaurants. Yes it is an old style building with old decor, but that is trade off if you want the location with out the big price tag. The room was a good size for city center, even had a big cupboard to hang cloths and liked that the bathroom is completely separate and does not open directly into the bedroom. The bathroom is quite small though. The bed is the most comfortable I have slept in across Europe! The staff were always very helpful and pleasant.

Perfect location a few steps from the River Rhone, plenty of pattiseries, shops and bars around close proximity to the hotel. All the staff we met were friendly and helpful, the room was clean with all the facilities we required. Good communication from the hotel prior to arrival and sent us the Geneva transport card to download so we could use it immediately on arrival from the airport to the hotel.

DenmarkThe hotel has been renovated since I last stayed there, pre-covid. A great improvement, with a lovely reception area and new elevator. The room was great and functional. I didn't reserve with breakfast -- and it was nice to add it as an option day to day, as my schedule required it.

United StatesRoom was outdated, the lamp shade was torn and although it's not the hotels fault, my room faced the building next to us and we needed the window open for fresh air (the fan did not work) and the lady in the building next to us talked literally all night on the phone with her window open...loudly.
