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.).

CanadaOn the pricier end for a budget hostel, but this is Switzerland. I couldn't get to stove to work, but again I didnt ask for help, so very probably I was doing something wrong.

United StatesNothing really, there was some noise from the bar but that didn't bother me, might or others. Also, the room was small but I didn't mind that either, it depends on the person I suppose.
Stayed in the single room. Great location for the buses. Staff were very friendly, they also have a bar if you want some good food & beer.

CanadaI didn't like that it was almost midnight and some members of the same family arrived at that time to the room I was sleeping. They started turning on the light, making a lot of noise and start speaking in their native language. Doesn't the check in supposed to be until 11 pm ? The other thing is that the laundry room need more machines. There is only one washer and drier for the entire hostel.

Value for money hostel (considering price levels in Switzerland) in a good location. It's very close to the buses that will take you to the Schwyz-Stoos funicular. Also close to the small towns in the area like Muotathal and Illgau. There are quite some restaurants close by as this hostel is very close to Schwyz Zentrum.

CanadaThe fourth person added to our group of three for accommodations snored really loudly, but he could not be accommodated elsewhere due to capacity. Not really anything to be done unfortunately. Otherwise was a nice stay!
Staff at reception/bar were very friendly. Helped provide information for hiking and helped break change. Rooms were spacious and the location is close to the town’s centre. Also located in a central area of Switzerland and many other tourist destinations could be easily accessed by car.

GermanyInconveniences, but not dramatic: tiny bathroom, sometimes a light smell of smoke in the corridor, no elevator.
The hotel/hostel is situated in a beautiful surroundings, where the Swiss Alps begin. In the vicinity are mountains Mythen, Rigi, Fronalpstock (above Stoos) and the lake Lucerne (Vierwaldstättersee). Free parking, free WiFi, welcome drink. The room was clean and recently renovated (still a light smell of a paint). Two single beds next to each other where very comfortable by themselves, but the gap between them was somewhat disturbing. Bedclothes new and fresh. The bathroom in the room was tiny, however had all basics: WC, sink+shelf+mirror, shower (with curtain and small shelf for soaps), a set of towels (2 bath, 2 hand, 1 foot), places to hang towels, soap/shampoo (at the reception). There is also a common kitchen on another floor, but we didn't use it. Host is very friendly.
