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.).

ItalyThe room was a bit small, for the price I paid. The staff at reception were not friendly, considering the high category of this hotel.
Excellent location just a few minutes away from the Central train station. It is an old style hotel but it has been fully refurbished. Good wifi.

United StatesThe outlet next to my side of the bed did not work, as well as the hairdryer in the bathroom. We never complained about these two things, but I'm sure many would. These things should be checked periodically. The bathroom was clean, but extremely small. The room and bathroom reminded us of the size of a room on a cruise ship. The temperature thankfully was in the low 70s for our stay, but the AC needs a complete overhaul. It gets hot. We ended up opening the window throughout the night to allow the cool air in, which helped a lot. Luckily, we were not against the busy street though, as I'm sure that would be loud.
The breakfast was hands down the best experience of the three hotels we stayed at throughout Switzerland. Beautiful spread. Delicious flavors and options. The location of this hotel is perfect too, if shopping and eating is your thing while in Zurich.

AustraliaReception staff pretty slow at dealing with customers. Breakfast was good - Continental with some hot coooked dishes. Staff in hotel generally - pleasant though the atmosphere of hotel in general was business like and formal. Very small room and quiet but dark. Best feature of the Gotthard hotel is outdoor cafe/bar which looks onto Main Street. Good food and excellent place to sit and watch the passing crowd with coffee/cold drink or glass of wine on warm afternoon/evening. Generally - the hotel room rate a little expensive - bed was a bit hard compared to other 4-5 star hotels.. -
Location is excellent - close to shops trams an train station yet quiet

Turkey.Nothing at all ! :-)
My wife and I have been staying at the St. Gotthard since 2017 and we were "at home" during every stay including the dark days after the COVID Pandemic. Since then I have noticed that the hotel and its staff have come to the point where I can feel that "I am at home". The location is ideal if one has to travel by train, as the ZRH Railway Station ist 150 meters away, The famous Bahnhofstrasse is ten steps to the right and reaching Kloten Airport is no more than 20 minutes. As for the "in House" services, the Breakfast Buffet has always been the typical Swiss Breakfast with all options you would need and was always to our satisfaction. The personnel that has been working for quite an number of years are happy to see a returning customer and that makes one feel at home. When a group of US visitors landed yesterday early midday on August 01, 2025 en masse, they were very quickly checked-in and the Managing Director was personnally checking the guests in and seing that they got to their rooms asap. A big thank you and please keep on with the good work ! K. Münir Hamamcıoğlu - Istanbul / Türkiye

United StatesA little hiccup when we checked in as I requested a connecting room but the first guy said there was no connecting room available but the second guy looked again and said there is one but apparently the other was tiny compared to the one I booked. They said that is the only connecting room but I said “ yes, but it wasn’t not the room I payed for. They gladly corrected the mistake and put me in a nicer room. A little old or rustic but maybe that is the vibe of the Hotel.
I liked the proximity to all the sites, trains, and restaurants. The staffs were very helpful and patient to all of my questions.

SwedenWhile our stay had some positive aspects, there were a few challenges we encountered that are worth mentioning. On the positive side, the hotel was clean and the service was very good. Staff were helpful and polite throughout our stay, which we appreciated. However, accessibility was an issue in certain areas. For instance, there were stairs leading up to the hotel entrance, which made it quite difficult to enter with a baby and stroller. We faced a similar problem with our room—although there was an elevator, there were additional stairs between the lift and the room itself. Another concern was that the room door could not be locked from the inside. As we were traveling with a baby, this was an important safety feature that we felt was missing. Additionally, the design of the bathroom made showering quite inconvenient. There was no proper barrier or partition to contain the water, so the entire bathroom floor would become wet after each use. We hope the management will consider these points for future improvements, as the cleanliness and quality of service were otherwise commendable.
