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 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):
- 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.).

Well, the towels were too old, and one had some orange spots on it. So, we didn't use the towel. It would be ideal if a microwave and kitchen equipment were included, as some unneeded items were in the draw. I believe it would be better to eliminate.
the location is perfect. just behind of the house has a castle. walk along the lake was so nice. supermarket is just cross of the street and bakery was also 1min walk and ATM also was next to the bakery. the house looks better than the photos and cute old house.

WiFi kept turning off. Not ideal if you have to work or want to watch a movie on your laptop!
Great location right near the water and only a short drive into Thun and only half an hour to Interlaken. Communication with the owner was great and prompt. They helped us out with an early check in!

My family is used to street noise during the evening but even for us, the sound from the road was too loud. Also the house is all made of wood, so we could listen all the movements from the guests in the apartment upstairs. Mainly in the bed that is below the stairs, the noise was loud. We had to separate the trash and put some stickers that had to be bought at the supermarket. There was no clear instruction on what do (or which sticker to buy) and Google was not really helpful. I didn’t wanted to worry about putting the trash out during my vacation.
The location is great, it’s close to the lake with a great view and in front of the supermarket. Parking could be found few blocks away.

Other guests have commented on the street noise and I do agree that is very noisy with the building being right on the street. We had white noise makers to sleep which helped. The linens were a bit lacking (proper pillows and duvets). It's just a matter of replacing some of the older lumpier pillows. Again, Jasmin was very helpful in getting us more towels. The free Wi-fi is great, but it disconnected regularly multiple times a day.
We were visiting my parents and the location was incredibly ideal. Both apartments are updated and clean with the right amount of amenities. Jasmin, who was our contact was very responsive and helpful. Our coffee machine wasn't working and she replaced it within 24 hours. I would recommend this place and would stay here again.

No space for parking your car (if you are travelling by car). Bus station is about a Km away which is the other way to get to the location. Overall acessability is slightly difficult and not having parking is a big minus
Location is nice but the best of Thun is 4 kms away.

Extremely noisy day and night due to the road just outside the windows. This made it difficult to sleep well and relax in the appartement. All windows face the road and mountainside so no seaview at all.
Very close to the lake, playground and supermarket. Fine facilities in the appartement.

All good.
The apartment is very good. It is a big size apartment and location is very good just opposite to supermarket and 15 minutes by bus from Thun. The best thing is that the back side of the property there is a ferry station also. Only one thing I feel that is not in the apartment is European to Swiss connector for laptop charger.
