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.).

Verified reviewVery central, convenient location. The member of staff who checked us in at the bar downstairs was very kind and professional.
The room was not cleaned properly. There was a strand of dental floss left on the sink from a previous guest. The fan in our room was partially broken; it made a lot of noise and we were uncomfortably hot. The chain lock on the door was broken, and the bolt lock was non-functional. I definitely would not have felt safe if I'd been traveling alone. Check-out is quite early (10 am), especially given that you can't check in until 3 pm. Staff members are only onsite for a short period of time in the afternoon/evening, so it would be extremely inconvenient if you needed any kind of help, or if you got locked out late at night or during the morning hours. It wasn't even possible to leave our bags at the hotel before check-in because no one was there.

Verified reviewWe had a great time in Zurich! What we like most is how easy it was to book even though we only booked a couple of days ahead of our trip. It was one of the most affordable and better rated options so it was clear to us that it will be our option. The receptionist Angela was simply fantastic, friendly, easy going and very professional. We had lovely chats and she told us more about her time in Zurich. Although we only stayed one night, we found the room very comfortable and the hotel location was perfect to explore our surroundings easily and it is also 15min walk from the central station so very convenient. Because the hotel also has a bar, we also had a drink there until they closed, so really a great choice for a stay in Zurich, and very affordable.
We liked everything! The room or the bathroom weren't too big but really it is all you need if you are visiting Zurich and only need the room to sleep, like it was our case. Maybe my only observation would that we couldn't plug in the hair dryer that they have in the bathroom, for some reason the socket wouldnt work but that's about it.

Verified reviewThe hotel’s location was excellent — right in the city centre with good access to transport. The room was okay, with a comfortable bed, fridge, and kettle, which were useful.
Check-in was delayed by 30 minutes with no staff at reception, leaving guests waiting outside. The towels had hairs, and the room was uncomfortably hot with no fan provided, despite the heatwave. Unlike other places I’ve stayed this year, no effort was made to consider the weather conditions.

Verified reviewLocation was great
Couldn't get a hold of anyone to get questions answered or checkin. Happened to find someone else in building that called the person. There was another traveler trying to check in having the same issues. Poorly run. If they took that seriously, it could be a great place

Verified reviewClose to city centre
-Check-in after 3pm, with no one at the "reception" (= the bar) before 3 pm is limiting, as the hotel entrance door was closed (I arrived at 1:30 pm). I rung up the hotel number but nobody replied. Hence, you'll sit with your luggage outside (or go to Starbucks nearby, with luggage) until 3 pm. -No air conditioning. I arrived when it was 28 degrees Celsius outside but inside it felt way warmer. -No coffee satchels in room (went buying some myself).

Verified reviewBooked at short notice as flight home cancelled minutes before scheduled take off. Comms from owner were really good, and also kindly let me borrow a plug adapter, which was very helpful. I was a bit too tired to take advantage of it but hotel is very close to bars and restaurants,
Slightly noisy outside - but that comes with the territory if you are in a location that is super convenient for bars and restaurants.

Verified reviewThe location was very convenient for my needs, a short walk from Stadelhofen Station and from the clients I was meeting in Zurich.
The room facilities were functional. I would have welcomed a choice of tea and/or coffee in the room, especially since breakfast is not provided. But considering the price and for a one-night stay (and the proximity of a Starbucks within 20 metres of the hotel) this is a minor quibble.

Verified reviewLocation is great!! Quite despite the central location. Helpful stuff! 👌Note there are check inn automat, which is not activated before stated in general check in time. If you want to drop baggage or require earlier check inn, make sure you have confirmation so cleaning staff can let you inn.
There are no soundproofing in rooms: you have to expect to hear (and to be heard by) neighbours. There was 3 rooms in my floor, so all in all not that many neighbours to deal with 😅

Verified reviewThe staff were very friendly. The bar downstairs is nice, and there are seats and tables outside on the quiet side street. There is a small rooftop terrace with tables and chairs and a good view of the river. The room was small, a bit cramped, and made up for one person, but the bed was big and very comfy. We booked late, which is why we think the room was set up for one person, but the staff found us extra pillows and towels. There was a good fan in the room, which helped keep us cool in the hot weather. The hotel is in a great location for bars and restaurants, and not far from a tram stop and train station. We really enjoyed our stay at this hotel.
It's a bit pricey for what you get, but everything in Zurich is very pricey!
