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.).
This service may contain translations powered by Google. Google disclaims all warranties related to the translations, express or implied, including any warranties of accuracy, reliability, and any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement.

United StatesWe had some confusion about our options for dinner that we were unable to figure out due to a language barrier. We weren't aware that half pension was an option for hotel guests, so we ended up having to order from the menu when we would have enjoyed the set meal. If this option could be better communicated to guests at check in, that would be helpful!
The beds were super comfortable, and the breakfast was amazing. We especially enjoyed the fresh honeycomb right out of the frame! The shared shower and bathroom facilities were very clean and nice. The staff was very friendly and worked with us to communicate well despite our limited knowledge of Swiss German.

SwitzerlandIt's not really bad, but be aware that: there is no mobile, connection and supermarket in the area. The WiFi was only available in the common area. Sockets are only in the hall too. Also, the mattress was too solid for me, but that's what you expect from a mountain hotel
Very good location with a nice view of a waterfall (in June), exceptionally clean, the shared toilets and bathroom could be a standard for any other ones I stayed in. Old historical hotel in a non touristy area. Very good destination if you want to travel unwind in a quiet and picturesque place. Be aware that not all personnel can speak English, but they anyway were very nice and did their best, thank you for that!

Omannothing I didn’t like, but maybe a heads up: it gets quite cold at night, so additional warm clothes are recommended. house is very old so you can hear every move; if you have a light sleep, oropax might be a good thing to bring.
the setting is spectacular, if you’re looking for a remote place to wind down. mountains, waterfalls and green hills. staff is all very professional and friendly. rooms are cozy and rustic. I’m not a fan of shared bathrooms but here it was really okay, very clean and new

Good location. Nice setting in the mountains. By foot, 15 to 20 minutes to village center and bus stop and 15 minutes from the Via Alpina. Staff very nice and helpful.

So peaceful and romantic! The hotel is luxurious, modern and traditional at the same time. Delicious breakfast and dinner, and very friendly staff. I wish we could stay here longer!
