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.).

SwitzerlandA shame that only served dinner one evening. Bathroom could do with more space for toiletries. Up a hill, but this actually was a positive to walk off dinner and have that amazing view. Nothing really not to like.
The pick up and drop off from the train station on arrival and departure were most welcome. As was the welcome drink. Study was a great place to relax with a beer, from the honesty bar, and the selection of books. Breakfast was great with fresh produce and a good selection. Room had a lovely view. Bed very comfortable.

SwitzerlandThe toilet was a bit squished between wall and sink.
We had a really great time at Alpenruhe, starting with a welcome prosecco! The hotel has been renovated very tastefully, and the staff is very friendly and took good care of us. My personal highlight was the breakfast with a good selection of very good and local food. The beds were very comfortable.

SwitzerlandAs the property is located up the small hill. When it did snow and had icy conditions, it meant special care was needed to walk up and down from the hotel to the village below.
The hosts. Andreas and Jana and their team were truly exceptional. We stayed there over the NYEs and they were so accommodating and ever so friendly in all our exchanges and truly made our stay so homey and cozy. If you’re skiing in the Jungfrau region, their proximity to access the gondola up to the slopes is only a few minutes downhill away.

United StatesMy only suggestion would be to make sure people know what breakfast services are offered. It took us a day or two to figure out we could ask for a latte or cappuccino, or some scrambled eggs. Not a major problem, just a helpful suggestion.
This hotel has the best view in Wengen. Though the uphill walk might be a bit of a challenge for older folks, it didn't prove to be a problem for us. Andreas and Jana were VERY kind and personal, the service was attentive and proactive, and they were willing to go the extra mile to assist us with various needs. They offered my wife a ride up the hill after a long day hike, and they packed us a lunch the day we left, unasked for! The breakfast was sumptuous. Make sure and ask for their scrambled eggs!! Custom coffee orders are also welcomed.

United StatesIt was an uphill hike from the station for sure. We knew it. I could have and should have arranged for a pick up but we went up the hill with our luggage in the rain.
The view was amazing as was breakfast. They accommodated my gluten and dairy free needs. We were very pleased with our stay.

IndiaPotentially the only 1 improvement I can think of 1. If they can offer a kettle in the room or some sort of microwave facility to the guests in future it would be helpful as the hotel doesn't have in house restaurant, so on days when you are tired from sightseeing, guests could heat up little meals.. That would be a huge advantage. But it's only a suggestion. Though the hotel did make a recommendation of a nearby Italian hotel which was again simply amazing ( goes by name of Da Sina)
Beautiful wengen, beautiful people, beautiful hotel. It is true that people sometimes make or break your vacation. It was a magical stay for us. Warm staff, especially Yana who made sure we were comfortable. Unfortunately could not meet her as it was her weekly off when we checked out. We were staying for two days. Good things 1. Amazing breakfast spread. Simply the best that we had on our entire trip to Switzerland. 2. Warm friendly staff, always smiling puts you at ease ( unlike the most of our stays in Switzerland) 3. Pick up arranged from station to hotel which can be a huge relief with luggage n all. They even agreed to drop us 4. Small welcome chocolates in our room 5. Room was small, but cozy and very comfortable, ergonomically designed space. 6. Even the view from property is amazing but when we were there towards last week of September, the clouds and fog was there in all of the Wengen area so couldn't appreciate it fully. 7. Staff is not averse to any special requests ( again and exception to most of our other stays) 8. Small balcony in the room to get some fresh air ( no mountain View, but that's what we booked and hotel informed in advance about the same) We loved it and fell in love with the place.

SwitzerlandFor dinner options, the hotel doesn’t currently run its in-house restaurant (only breakfast) but plenty of nearby options in Wengen so no issue at all!
This is such a lovely, peaceful hotel with probably one of the best Jungfrau views in Wengen. It is way more quieter than the other hotels in town, and everything was just perfect!

United StatesIt’s a bit of an uphill walk from the train station, but well worth it for the location. And the hotel provides a ride for you and your luggage when you arrive and when you leave.
Everything. A large comfortable corner room with a balcony, friendly staff, a wonderful breakfast every morning, a great location. We didn’t have a room with a Jungfrau view (we didn’t reserve one of those)… so walk ten meters out the front door, sit down in one of the lawn chairs and enjoy a grand view of the Lauterbrunnen valley and the Jungfrau above it. Wengen is conveniently located for exploring the Lauterbrunnen and Grindelwald regions.

AustraliaCan't think of anything. As an old train driver got to ride with Rolf to Kleine Scheindegg, born on a farm loved being licked by the cows (you should see my Facebook photo!) left a bit of my wife to enjoy the mountains forever - nothing I didn't like!
Bloody fantastic mate! I should have written earlier to thank you for the wonderful hospitality. I was making my first trip without my wife of 49 years and I needed solace and peace in the wonderful Swiss mountains which we loved so much.

SwitzerlandVery cozy hotel and perfect for a couple's weekend get away. Morning breakfast was lovely (and they had oat milk options for coffee). We really enjoyed having a glass of wine on the terrace and enjoying the mountain view. We liked that the hotel was a bit outside the super touristy part of town (an 8-10 minute walk to the train station).
