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.).

Thank you for your recent feedback. We are truly sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations. We take your comment regarding our team very seriously, especially as we are known for our warm and attentive hospitality. It is disappointing to read that you found the receptionist to be rude, please allow us to sincerely apologise if you felt unwelcome at any point. We would greatly appreciate more details about what occurred, as we have no record of any such situation and no team members who behave in that manner. Your feedback remains anonymous, which makes it difficult for us to follow up or reach out directly. Should you be open to sharing more about your stay, we would truly value the opportunity to understand what went wrong and how we can improve. Jasmin Maurer Gastgeberin

Verified reviewThe staff on site was friendly. Bed was comfortable. Having a mini bar and a kettle in the room was very convenient. Location has good transport links.
I am giving this property the lowest possible rating because of a major safety hazard. On my last night (out of 2), I noticed there are exposed tube lights in the shower, there is nothing covering the tube lights that are located inside the shower. This can lead to an electric shock, WHICH CAN BE DEADLY. ***I sent an email to the property urging them to sort this out for the safety of the guests but I received no response.*** Even after replying to my message on booking the email went unaswered. The design of the rooms is very strange, there are almost no windows, only a small one on the side and some very high on the walls. There is no air circulation and no view. There is no door in the bathroom and also no walls, only glass, pretty bad if you’re sharing the room with someone else. The shower is poorly designed and water gets out, flooding the part where the toilet is.
Dear Mora, Thank you for your feedback and for taking the time to share your impressions. We are pleased to hear that you found our staff friendly, the bed comfortable, and appreciated the complimentary minibar and kettle in your room. Many of our guests also value our convenient location and the excellent public transport connections. It is unfortunate that you did not mention any of these concerns during your stay, especially considering the very strong nature of your written review. We met you in person at least twice during your stay, and you even considered extending your visit, without ever hinting at any dissatisfaction. We would have welcomed the opportunity to respond immediately and find a suitable solution for you on site. We are truly sorry to hear that certain aspects of your stay did not meet your expectations, particularly your concerns regarding safety. Please rest assured that we take such feedback very seriously. The lighting in the shower consists of certified moisture-resistant fixtures that comply with all relevant safety standards. That said, we will have our team inspect the area again to ensure everything is fully secure and functioning properly. Regarding the ventilation: each room is equipped with a dedicated switch located next to the main light controls. When activated, a small light indicates that the mechanical ventilation is running. It is unfortunate that you did not mention any of these concerns during your stay, especially considering the very strong nature of your written review. We met you in person at least twice during your stay, and you even considered extending your visit, without ever hinting at any dissatisfaction. We would have welcomed the opportunity to respond immediately and find a suitable solution for you on site. Greulich was built 20 years ago and follows a clear, minimalist design concept. We have only one room in the entire property with an open bathroom. This is our fully accessible room, designed specifically for guests with limited mobility. All other rooms are equipped with fully enclosed bathrooms with doors. We nevertheless hope you were able to take away some positive memories of your time in Zurich, and we thank you again for your feedback. Jasmin Maurer Manager

Verified reviewFuturistic design. Very clean.
No AC so it might be hot in the room in summer
Dear Rustam Thank you so much for your warm and kind review, we’re truly happy to hear that you’ll remember Greulich as a beautiful design hotel. We completely understand the wish for air conditioning, especially during hot summer days. As a small, independent Swiss hotel with just 18 rooms, we are committed to following both environmental regulations and the architectural limits of our historic building. Installing air conditioning would not only be extremely costly and complex due to the building's structure, but Swiss law also limits cooling to just 6°C below the outside temperature. So even in hotels with AC, the result is often disappointing: for example, only cooling down to 30°C when it’s 36°C outside. That’s why we choose to be fully transparent: we offer fans in all rooms and never mention having air conditioning, because we simply don’t. We believe honesty, comfort, and looking after the only planet we have should always go hand in hand. We are looking forward welcomin you again! Warmest regards Jasmin Maurer Manager

Verified reviewFantastic hotel. One of the cleanest hotels we’ve ever been to and I cannot fault it at all. The staff were so friendly and accommodating. An ideal location with so many useful links connecting to the city (inc train and tram which are a stones throw away) and shops and places to eat a short walk away. We will definitely be coming back!

Verified reviewLovely little hotel, rooms were clean, comfortable well equipped. Check in was easy and the room was nice and quiet
Although it was easy to get into the city, the surrounding area was a bit rough - there were a lot of addicts in the park next door. An umbrella in the room would have been nice

We're truly happy to hear that you enjoyed the comfort and cleanliness of your room and had a pleasant check-in experience. Regarding your note about the umbrella – thank you for the suggestion!
