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.).

United KingdomThe wafers for the chocolate fountain should be enclosed for freshness. The shower door needed attention as the sill along the bottom was loose (allowed water out)
Warm and welcoming reception, chocolate fountain is a great idea. Rooms are nice, functional, cosy.

United StatesI recently had the pleasure of staying at Swiss Chocolate by Fassbind in Zurich, and while there were many highlights, there were a couple of aspects that left room for improvement. The in-room amenities could use an upgrade, and the dining options, given the stature of the hotel, were a tad limited. Additionally, the charge of CHF50 for a late checkout (even by an hour) after a week-long stay was surprising. I would have anticipated such a minor extension to be complimentary. That said, the Swiss Chocolate by Fassbind offers a genuine Swiss experience in the heart of Zurich, and I would love to be back to stay at this fine hotel.
I recently had the pleasure of staying at Swiss Chocolate by Fassbind in Zurich, and it was an experience to remember. The hotel boasts an excellent location, merely a stone's throw away from the train station, making commutes and explorations incredibly convenient. A delightful surprise awaited in the lobby – a mesmerizing chocolate fountain, which is a testament to the Swiss's love for their world-famous chocolates. My stay was thoroughly comfortable, with all amenities ensuring relaxation and peace. Additionally, the check-in and check-out processes were smooth and hassle-free. I highly recommend Swiss Chocolate by Fassbind for a genuine Swiss experience in the heart of Zurich!

You can’t beat the location, it’s literally 5 minutes from the Hauptbahnhof and the old city. Perfect for getting around the city and getting to the airport. If you’re all about the city rather than the hotel you cannot beat this

Spainlocation was great, just 5 minutes from Zürich HB and next to Tram Central and polybahn station. it’s a quiet street though as we arrived the day of the Parade and there was zero noise; hotel crew were really nice with us and always kind with our toddler. they provided us with a cot for free (this service is not free in many hotels nearby) and made an upgrade for us so we could be more comfortable with the baby. they gave us chocolates everyday as a gift when we were leaving in the morning. breakfast is not big in terms os variability but nice quality and all the essentials to enjoy it plenty. it’s the second time we stay at this hotel and we’ll come back 100%

United StatesThey had no room to store our luggage when we arrived at noon. Our only choice was to drag our luggage around town or pay an early room fee of 50 Francs. We paid as it was very hot outside . Felt taken very advantage of since it really wasn't our fault they had such limited space to store luggage.
The location was convenient to the train station and old town.
