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.).

We had a great stay at this hotel! The check-in process was very fast, and we were even able to check in earlier than the official time, which was extremely helpful after a long flight. The location is very convenient—just two train stops away from the city center, close to the airport, and with a supermarket nearby where you can easily buy essentials like water and snacks. The hotel itself is modern, with new facilities and very comfortable rooms. Breakfast was also excellent, offering a nice variety of dishes in a continental style. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and will definitely choose this hotel again on our next visit.

SwitzerlandRoom was simply missing a fridge (especially in summertime) and a locker to store important objects.
Very well located, just next to the train station (two stops away from Zurich HB) and right 2 minutes away from the Swiss Life Arena! Staff is lovely, speak English if needed and will help you in any way they can! Room is clean and nice. Although when you’re there for multiple nights, you do need to ask them to clean the room.

FinlandToo soft pillows. Also felt like needed an European outlet also closer to the mirrors as I was doing my hair in one outlet which is at the desk and no mirror. Maybe hotel could sell some plugs for guests to buy. I didn’t see any, maybe I should’ve asked the receptionist.
Great hotel just next to the station and very close to bus and tram stations too. Room was comfortable and I liked the layout lalthough was a bit too dark in there but wasn’t a deal breaker. I love dim lights and sunscreen at the window was a good feature too. Great spacious bathroom. Great mattress but pillows are way too soft. I enjoyed breakfast but I felt like needed more variety on some items, although I have to say home made rice pudding was actually a great addition, haven’t seen this in any hotels before! It was yummy. Gym also has a little fitness room, provided with cold water and fruit. They also have sauna which I didn’t use same as rooftop area, only bcs it was raining my whole stay there. I can see it being lovely in sunny days. Staff were lovely and friendly. I would stay again for sure.

SwitzerlandMy room was super super COLD!!! I was frozen, Which made my stay very uncomfortable. I didn’t understand why the Hotel corridors were warmer than the room. I mean a room temperature like you have it at home is understandable no one expects the rooms to be overly warm , mind you it’s not yet summer. I had to go down to the reception and let them know if they could adjust my temperature in the room because it was freezing. Funny, I met a guy at the reception who went down for the same complaint and I thought glad it’s not just me. They gave us both heaters to take to our rooms. Heated my room and in 30min I had a normal room temperature and turned the heater off and then again in the morning when I woke up. I fail to understand why Hotels nowadays are ventilating the rooms so cold it’s very uncomfortable. My boyfriend often got sick after search a stay. Because it’s just not cosy in the rooms and the prices are less for this. Please Mercure adjust your temperatures in the rooms to cosy. Nice and clean Hotel but for this am doubting I’ll be back.
Warm welcome at the reception, my room was clean. Was nice for a first time stay to get a hand written welcome note and a Toblerone Chocolate bar plus a bottle of water.

GermanyNear Altstetten train station. I had a newly renovated room, which was really nice! Comfortable bed, work area, extra soap/shampoo holder in the shower, tea/coffee in room. Took a second to figure out that one had to screw in the lightbulbs to make the lamp over the sofa work… Breakfast was good, but not outstanding. Met a lady in the elevator who said her room card had not worked, and when she got a new one, the room was already occupied by someone else - which was kinda concerning. I made sure to bolt my door. A bottle of water would have been nice. Overall good hotel - would stay again (but bring extra locks…).

Sri LankaRoom Size was a bit small as we opted to stay out of the city center we were expecting a larger room which wasn't the case.No coffee making facilities in the room which would have been useful in the cold climate.
Mercure Hotel is located outside the zurich city near the Altstetten Train station.it takes around 10mins to the Zurich Main central train station from here. Since Zurich city center hotels were pricier we opted for this hotel because many days we took day tours, many bus tours start from the main bus terminal which is adjoining the Main Zurich train station which was 10mins away.nearby supermarket was useful.
