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.).

GermanySome more typical swiss specialties at the restaurant would be appreciated. Le Tapis Rouge is a fancy restaurant, and I get the cuisine. The Les Cascades, I would have loved some more down to earth, regular dishes that represent Switzerland. Nontheless, very delightful dishes.
Such a majestic building surounded by stunning nature. A magical place! Worth every penny! I'm still in awe.

AustraliaThe location and hotel was dreamy. Like stepping into “La Belle Epoch” The piano layer at the bar added to the timeless ambience. Then the buffet breakfast catered for all tastes with exceptional freshness and variety of produce. Dining at the restaurant was welcoming and warm, offering great local cuisine. Overall it was an extraordinary experience in a wonderful alpine setting with majestic views of the lake, waterfalls and surrounding mountains🤩 A big Thank you to the exceptional staff👏👏👏

United StatesThe second room we had did not have a view of the waterfall, which is what your website said. We were extremely disappointed in that second room.
The view was fantastic from the room with the balcony. We have a view of the lake and the waterfall. Breakfast was also very good! The ease of getting there via ferry and venicular was a super fun experience!

United StatesOnly one option for dinner, which was pricey. Would prefer a more casual menu, with options.
This is an exceptional property located right next to the famous Giessbach Falls, a stunning waterfall. Our room had a view of the falls, with a sitting area and French doors with a balcony. The building is historic and beautifully decorated in all of the common areas, with a large outdoor patio area for dining also. It's a very short walk to overlook the falls close up on a bridge, and they have a funicular that goes down to the lake (Brienzersee) where the steamboat stops on their tour of the lake.

BangladeshTaxi availability to Interlaken Rail station after hours is not adequate. I suggest the Hotel should have its own car drop off service 24/7.
The hotel was one of the best in terms of historic building, location, views, sophisticated behaviour of the hotel staff, excellent breakfast and dinner restaurant. All in all I with my family had an unforgettable experience and one of these days want to come back and visit again. I strongly recommend anyone visiting Interlaken area to stop by at least for a day and if possible longer.

The location is amazing with the waterfalls and the lake, and the hotel is proper old school grand - very much lives up to its name ! Staff were all helpful and friendly and our waiter for dinner really helped to make it a great experience. The bed was very comfortable and the pillows were soft but supportive. Slept really well. We had a room with a waterfall view which was stunning and the noise helped us to sleep really well ! The view from the balcony was just lovely. Breakfast was great - plenty of choice and all delicious.
