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 reviewThe hotel is located in the river of Lago Maggiore with a beautiful view to the lake. Rooms are clean, comfortable and well-equipped. Breakfast was buffet style with different fresh and food options.
Our room was located next to the stairs that lead to the first-floor restaurant's bathroom, so you could constantly hear the noise of people going up. Perhaps a soundproofing door could be installed between the stairs, the restaurant's bathroom, and the rooms on that level.

Verified reviewThe location was great. Central to everything, yet quiet and clean.
I wish I had upgraded to a better room :) I was in the building in the back with no view at all.

We would have rated the property a 5 star but ... It is not in the hotel it is down a back alley. If you arrive late and are tired it is a bit stressful to find . But that’s not it . The property is next door to a noisy osteria . Open till 1 AM Monday to Thursday and till 2 AM Friday Saturday. And boy it’s noisy with loud discussions and of course singing . Sunday nite was blissfully quiet . My suggestion take your noice canceling year phones or join the party if you book this place .

Verified reviewPerfect retreat with a little touch here and there. Located on the top floor under the roof. The view from this room is amazing and the little balcony invites to chill with a coffee or apero overseeing the Ascona promenade. Some things are just too beautiful, this room is one of them.

Verified reviewFrom the moment I arrived at this boutique hotel in Ascona, I was completely enchanted. The attention to detail is simply outstanding. The room was equipped with everything I could possibly need – every amenity thoughtfully chosen, from the beautifully curated tea selection to the complimentary sparkling and still water. But what truly set this stay apart was the bed – without exaggeration, the best I’ve ever slept in at a hotel. It was like sleeping on a cloud, and I woke up feeling more rested than I have in years. The view from the room was absolutely breathtaking, offering a perfect blend of serenity and natural beauty that made it hard to leave the room. This hotel is a rare find – luxurious, welcoming, and unforgettable. I loved everything about it and can’t wait to return.
Nothing!
