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.).

United StatesUnfortunately, the timing of our vacation in the swing season coincided with much construction/maintenance on the railroad and gondolas. A bit inconvenient, but we still had. wonderful time. I would avoid early May in the future.
Nice room with great view and balcony. Easy access to the train for day trips. Friendly staff!

IsraelOut of 5 days I stayed, I requested a cleaning only once in hopes the cup I drank from would be replaced, it wasn't. The towel on the floor wasn't replaced either. They only made the bed and took out the trash.
I was in the single room and it was larger then expected, I was positively surprised. Even though my room was facing the train station, there was no noise, insulation was very good. On check-in I was greeted by a lovely staff member who made me feel very welcomed and safe. Location of the hotel, right next to the station, is a big plus when returning from a full day exploring. Plus a huge supermarket near by. If I'm ever again in Grindelwald, I won't hesitate to book the Derby Hotel again!

United KingdomIdeal location right next to train station, short walk to supermarket, bars, restaurants, bus stops, approx 10 minute walk to Grindelwald first. Friendly staff, great service, interesting range of foods available for breakfast. The hotel is perhaps a little dated in its decor but that’s just aesthetics.

Barbara really went above and beyond to make sure everything was taken care of smoothly and quickly. I can't thank her enough for making my stay hassle-free.

United StatesAs soon as your train arrives in Grindelwald, the hotel is just right there! Love that! This hotel has a cozy cabin feel with a warm and welcoming staff. They have international converters to lend you if you lose or forget yours or just haven’t bought one. The breakfast had a wide variety, it was so delicious. When you’re out and about, the hotel is easily accessible to the main town area. Incredibly convenient location and service. If you have other plans to hang out in the town after check out, they offer to store your luggage until you are ready to leave. The staff was so sweet, they gifted me a chocolate bar after hearing about my canyon swing story! Would highly recommend this place and visit again!! I also forgot to mention the stunning views at any angle of this hotel. You will not be disappointed!

United KingdomNot much I didn't like!! Had pretty much everything you needed for a good stay in Grindelwald.
Can't beat the location, incredibly easy and convenient to get to. The staff were very accommodating and friendly and even gave suggestions to activities in the area. All spoke a good level of English so communication was very easy. Rooms were spacious enough and had good ammenities. We had a mountain view room which did not disappoint! . Breakfast was good and had a decent range of options. We also dined in at the hotel restaurant for dinner and had some good service and meals from the staff. Would recommend to others!

SingaporeVery convenient location, literally next to the main Grindelwald train station. Despite the works at the train station, the room was quiet, and we slept soundly. The view of Eiger was amazing, and the buffet breakfast had a good spread, although vegan options were limited. Overall, highly recommended!

United KingdomApril 2024 there are ongoing works at the station, but these didn't affect our stay personally. However if you want a lie in then you might not want a room at the front of the hotel! Its a bit of a walk to Grindelwald first station - about 15 minutes uphill, but of course that can be seen as a positive when you are walking downhill on the way back!
Room facilities great. TV and coffee machine. Small balcony. Comfy beds and extra pillows. Literally right next to the tramline and train station. We were able to drop our luggage here prior to checking in, and they took it to our room. The hotel itself is a little old fashioned, which is charming, but the rooms are spotless and traditional and at the same time brought up to modern standards. Wifi excellent. Would definitely recommend. The breakfast buffet was the best I had in Switzerland during our stay. You even get bacon and eggs!
