How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

We were very glad to discover this hotel which is very close to Zurich's main station and even closer to a number of tram lines and the funicular up to the university area with its great views over the city and lake. It was also very close to Niederdorfstrasse with its huge and lengthy choice of restaurants. The room and breakfast were pretty good and rather better than other similarly priced Zurich hotels that we have used previously. Reception staff were helpful, including dispensing a free, handy city map.

Quality of finishes was a little sloppy. Lounge chairs were dirty and uncomfortably hard in the room and in the lobby. Zurich is an expensive city, but I wish the nightly rate was 20% less for the value.
Breakfast was nice. The breakfast staff person was exceptionally friendly and attentive. Hotel was well located for walking everywhere and reaching the train station. Beds were comfortable and room was large. Quality coffee machines were very appreciated.

Check-in was not very efficient, and we were hungry at the time which made the wait feel longer. The room doesn't have built-in AC, but there's a mobile one that works.
Good location, very easy to access from HB. Spacious and clean room. Breakfast was good too. Not a bad choice for a last-minute find due to flight cancellation.

Aircon was barely effective. Very hot in room. No refrigerator in room - we were told it was a minibar only, basically esky. Could not keep drinks or milk cold. Ice was provided in cereal bowl not ice bucket so melted quickly. Reception staff did not greet you when passing or returning to hotel. Not very friendly.
Very clean and spacious room. Great breakfast with variety. Breakfast staff were helpful and friendly. Great location for train travelers. Close to restaurants, supermarket and bars.

The room had only one power outlet with normal European socket. There were no charging points near the bed. The lights were too dim for my taste.
The location is excellent with tram, bus and train stations nearby. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The check-in and check-out process were super easy and hassle free. The room was very clean and with good amenities. The breakfast was very good. There is an option to store the luggage after checkout.

Our room was very hot and the air-con not very efficient. Windows can be opened which is good, although being located in the city centre, it was fairly noisy through the night. We only stayed one night so not a big deal but I would have raised it if we were there longer and needed to get some sleep!
The hotel location was perfect for exploring the city. Spacious rooms and all very clean. Breakfast was good, with lots of different options.

The air conditioning in the room could be better. The AC is working like a fan and definitely needs to be replaced. At night it was convenient but any time spent in the room during day time was extremely Difficult.
The staff were extremely friendly and very helpful. The location is superb giving you easy access to the central train station that connects you to everywhere. The room space is great too!

The hallways lacked security, and the room bolts didn't lock, which they said was for fire safety considerations.
The rooms were an excellent size for a single traveller. The bed was comfortable, and options for blankets and pillows were provided according to your preference. The room also had an umbrella, which helped on a rainy day. Breakfast had good options, and the lady staff serving breakfast was super friendly and cheerful. The location is great, within a 3-minute walk to Zurich, HB, and right next door is the Polybahn to ETH, from where you can see a nice panoramic view of Zurich City. All Zurich attractions are within walking distance.
