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 location, close to the lake and train station.
As a hotel guest you are entitled to a city pass for all public transport which we did not receive and had to ask for which would have saved us money and hassle. We got this pass 2 days before check out. The breakfast was terrible!

Verified reviewTravelled as a group to take in the sights of the old town so needed a base near the area. The hotel is only 5 minutes walk and is ideally located for seeing the sights of Geneva. Very clean, very modern inside and great location.

Verified reviewBrilliant location. Walking distance from the main station and very close to the lake and most of Geneva's attractions on a relatively quiet city street. We received a room upgrade upon arrival, and our room was spacious and clean. The bed was very comfortable. There was a slight issue with the ac unit in our room leaking water onto the floor, but when notified the staff immediately cleaned up the water and tried to fix the problem, when they could not fix the leak a technician was called and the problem sorted. A great place to stay in Geneva.

Verified reviewThe location was perfect, close to public transport and lots of great restaurants. We also loved that the hotel partners with Geneva Tourism and provided us with a voucher for free public transport for our whole stay – such a bonus. The staff were really friendly and helpful, and our room was spacious with excellent air conditioning, which made it very comfortable. Highly recommend Hotel Rousseau for a stay in Geneva!
Nothing comes to mind.

Verified reviewLocation
The fact that we had no glasses in the room and had one plastic cup to share between two of us . We had to ask for glasses each day we were there . The tea and coffee was not replaced note was the milk. For the amount of money we paid we had poor facilities. The breakfast was poor and we had to ask for eggs then wait until they were boiled and then only given one or two . They begrudgingly gave me another one when I asked . I don’t have cereal and not keen on the other food presented . The aircon was not working properly and when asked about it they said it was a hot day . Cramped room and very uncomfortable. Failed to clean on one of the days and we were told they had gone home . Poor poor poor

Verified reviewLocation. Size of rooms.
The fact that they are so stingy that they give you exactly two coffee pods and then you have to pay. Not even a daily refresh of a couple of pods. They also made us pay extra claiming we had booked single occupancy. Which made little sense. But we paid. All in all wouldn’t stay there again.

Verified reviewThe Air conditioner in our room was faulty, as soon as the room cooled to 22 degrees it turned off and did not restart automatically. I had to keep doing this manually all night long during a European heatwave. And the only control was on the wall on the other side of the room…. The window inside our room, to the stairwell had no curtains to block out the bright exterior night light. We had a very disrupted, hot and bright sleep. We only stayed the one night!
