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...).

The hotel location was really cool and everywhere was easily reachable. I preferred walking around the Lyon center and I enjoyed the city very much. Additionally it was a great pleasure opening the window and viewing the beautiful Rue. My room was viewing fully Basilica de Ainay. It was fantastic and mystical. I would highly recommend this hotel and area. Thank you.

FranceThis time we found the breakfast very disappointing. There was no decaffeinated coffee availablle. The hot food offerings were all stone cold probably because the hot plate they were resting on had not been turned on. Staff members were noticeably absent.
This was our third stay. The hotel is in a great location. Staff are excellent and facilities perfect.

MonacoAs an English person, I would have preferred a better selection of teas in the bedroom together with fresh milk in the mini bar fridge. A walk in shower is easier to use than a shower in the tub
The location of the hotel was great. The self check in system was brilliant and the calls and emails explaining this were really reassuring Bathroom products were lovely The bed was comfy and the temperature of the room was perfect. Lighting was good and easy to work. Breakfast was more than sufficient and the staff were super friendly. NB when making tea, please put the tea bag in the teapot of hot water !! As it was absolutely pouring with rain when we left and our car was a 15 minute walk away, the staff found us an umbrella to take with us - very kind !

SwitzerlandLove the idea of the glass, sliding door into the bathroom (reminiscent of a shoji screen) but imagine it could be an issue with some travellers as there is no lock & there is a gap between door & wall on closing the door.
Wonderful: historic nod to the ‘abbey’with exposed stone walls for example but modern & comfortable dining/sitting areas. Incredible attention to detail in furnishings & decor. Very chic but cosy & welcoming at the same time without being ostentatious.

United StatesWhile room decor was on trend we found the dark paint color further darkened our otherwise, nice room. This only became apparent while trying to accomplish something requiring fine visual detail work. The shower door seal was also not working properly; resulting in a wet floor if not careful.
The location is superb; quiet, yet close to everything. Staff are cordial snd welcoming. They provide with super recommendations for activities, restaurants and transport. The staff also recognized the celebratory nature of our journey with kind words and kind gestures.
