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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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.).

GermanyThe breakfast is served, but it’s always the same. No shower gel in the rooms is provided so you need to have your own stuff.
Convenient location, suitable for skiing. You can leave all your ski staff in the hotel, the lifts are reachable on feet. The hosts are so nice and friendly, you will definitely feel comfortable in the hotel and can always ask for help or any recommendations. The design is very authentic, the rooms are warm. The noises are good isolated. The guest room is especially cozy 😍

United StatesAs an American I’m used to having some extra towels and blankets available in the room… Not just at Hotel Echo, but in many places in Germany/Austria I still get surprised that towels are such a luxury item, that there is often only one… (and I will remember to bring washcloths on my next trip to Europe, lol)
My mom and I felt very welcome - at breakfast, or even at the end of the day when we enjoyed a little nightcap in the common room. It’s cozy and warm, beautiful views - and we loved the sound of the waterfall behind the house. It’s easy to walk into town or to the Felsentherme…

United KingdomThis review has to start with the owner Henrikka who deserves at least 6 stars. She has lots of suggestions for great walks, places to visit and the best food in town. Nothing was too much trouble and she helped to send taxi details when we got caught in a storm whilst hiking. Thanks Henrikka for making us feel so at home. Breakfast was gorgeous; breads, cheeses, salad, butter, jam, cold meats and fruit. The hotel itself is old and full of character and kept sparkling clean, it’s really cosy. We booked two nights but extended to four. Cannot recommend Hotel Echo enough!

The hotel is next to the Alpe-Adria radweg and this was important for us. We could park our bikes. The staff was very kind and helpful! The room was clean and big enough for two people. The breakfast was very good as well.

RomaniaWhilst the hotel looks like it has gotten serious renovation in the past years, there is still work to be done, especially on the floors.
The hotel is located right next to a waterfall which makes it a unique experience. The owner is really friendly and very helpful with advice regarding things to do in the area. The room was very clean, and it was cleaned on a daily basis. The breakfast was nice as well.

GermanyPhotos presented the area as much bigger. I thought the common area is part of a larger apartment. In my experience, a bit more pricey than expected.
Very close to the train station, lovely staff, so tidy and I loved the miniature antique items in the hotel room. Gave it a very 70s vibe :) It was so close to the waterfalls which is amazing. Superb eating places and right next to the night life district.. a 5 minute walk away from the best part of town!
