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.).

IrelandIt was possible to hear other guests' conversations on their balconies from my room.
Nicely appointed hotel at the top of a bit of a hill about 5 minutes walk from the town centre. Great views of Lauterbrunen below. A fine big breakfast room with plenty of choice for the buffet breakfast. Comfortable bed, with a nice front facing balcony with views of the town and Laurterbrunen. The hotel will collect you from the train station if you advise them of your arrival time, which is a nice touch.

United StatesThere isn’t anything bad to say, but the bathroom shower was extremely small and the bathroom was hard to maneuver - just very small but this is normal for old buildings in Europe and we spend much more time seeing the alps than sitting in a bathroom so it’s not a big deal.
The hotel is very nice and welcoming. The owners are so kind and helpful. The facilities are very nice and the breakfast was fantastic. They even accommodated my daughter with celiac disease and have gluten free offerings. Our room was nice and quiet and the view from our balcony was breathtaking.

Hotel was very clean and quiet. Beds very comfortable, breakfast selection options very good (scrambled eggs were the best I've ever tasted). Staff were very polite and helpful with information and provided any additional supplies if needed. The views from the hotel are quite stunning. Location gave good access to a variety of walking trails in the area. We hope to return to Wengen in the future and would choose to stay in Hotel Alpenruhe for sure.

SwitzerlandA shame that only served dinner one evening. Bathroom could do with more space for toiletries. Up a hill, but this actually was a positive to walk off dinner and have that amazing view. Nothing really not to like.
The pick up and drop off from the train station on arrival and departure were most welcome. As was the welcome drink. Study was a great place to relax with a beer, from the honesty bar, and the selection of books. Breakfast was great with fresh produce and a good selection. Room had a lovely view. Bed very comfortable.

We had a really great time at Alpenruhe, starting with a welcome prosecco! The hotel has been renovated very tastefully, and the staff is very friendly and took good care of us. My personal highlight was the breakfast with a good selection of very good and local food. The beds were very comfortable.

SwitzerlandAs the property is located up the small hill. When it did snow and had icy conditions, it meant special care was needed to walk up and down from the hotel to the village below.
The hosts. Andreas and Jana and their team were truly exceptional. We stayed there over the NYEs and they were so accommodating and ever so friendly in all our exchanges and truly made our stay so homey and cozy. If you’re skiing in the Jungfrau region, their proximity to access the gondola up to the slopes is only a few minutes downhill away.

United StatesMy only suggestion would be to make sure people know what breakfast services are offered. It took us a day or two to figure out we could ask for a latte or cappuccino, or some scrambled eggs. Not a major problem, just a helpful suggestion.
This hotel has the best view in Wengen. Though the uphill walk might be a bit of a challenge for older folks, it didn't prove to be a problem for us. Andreas and Jana were VERY kind and personal, the service was attentive and proactive, and they were willing to go the extra mile to assist us with various needs. They offered my wife a ride up the hill after a long day hike, and they packed us a lunch the day we left, unasked for! The breakfast was sumptuous. Make sure and ask for their scrambled eggs!! Custom coffee orders are also welcomed.
