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.).

CanadaUnfortunately I was not able to try the restaurant as it was closed for holidays.
The room was exactly the same as the pictures on the site. Greetings when arriving were friendly and informative. The room and bathroom were spotless. The breakfast had a nice selection of fruits, cereals, meats, cheeses and breads. The location close to the train station is very convenient for arrival and departure.

IndonesiaWe brought many large suitcases along a very steep road, it would be much better if there were accommodation assistance. Additionally, we also hope for a more varied breakfast menu.
The view from our room was simply breathtaking. Waking up to the stunning scenery was a highlight of our trip.

United KingdomNo fridge in the room. Would have been nice if the English speaking channels on the room tv worked.
Very traditional, family run, small alpine hotel - handy for the station. Comfortable room with good breakfast. Comfy beds but pillows are very soft, though this seems to be a Swiss thing. Incredible Mountain View’s but unfortunately there was a huge crane outside our balcony as the building below was being done up whilst we were there (though that had nothing to do with Hotel Alpina).

United StatesThe only downside to many of the hotels we were at was the allowance of smoking on patios or decks. I know this is still a "thing" in Europe but it makes your patio or deck very unenjoyable if your neighbors are smoking, which they were. With no air conditioning on hot nights, leaving windows and doors open is a must and smelling smoke from adjacent occupants is not very nice.
Wonderful breakfast, restaurant, local advice, easy checkin and checkout, close to train station and food. We used the hotel as a basecamp for four days of hiking and adventuring from dawn till dusk. The staff is local and the hotel is family owned and operated, making for a very personal experience. The room was plenty big and had great views of the Eiger and surrounding valley.
