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, Iceland, Australia, Greece, Brazil and North Carolina. For properties in these regions, 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.).

United KingdomWhile the hostel was clean and adequate for younger backpackers on a budget, one small polar fleece blanket would not have kept me warm at night. So glad I could upgrade.
Fortunately I was able to upgrade from hostel to hotel room which was not available on booking.com. The price for room and breakfast was very reasonable. I had a twin room to myself. It was cosy and clean with en-suite bathroom, great shower and plenty of hot water. The view from the window was lovely. Very good buffet breakfast. I also had dinner here, good wholesome food, freshly cooked. Staff were friendly and helpful.

United StatesCheck in process wasn't great!
Overall it was nice but the lady at the check-in desk was NOT happy that we didn't check in between 3:00-5:00. Our flight from London was delayed, and we told her that, but it didn't make any difference. Other than that, the place was nice for a quick stay in Kandersteg! JUST BE ON TIME! ;-)

United StatesThe youth hostel portion of the hotel was in the basement with only one small window. The basement was divided into small rooms with four beds in each. It felt very cramped. There was also a small window in each room that looked out into the hallway. That was nice but the hall light was triggered by motion so anytime someone used the washroom the light would turn on and shine into the bedroom making it difficult to sleep.
The property was clean and also had an awesome restaurant in it. There was also a nice little pond in the back with a little walking trail nearby.

United KingdomBeautiful location (not in the centre with other hotels, so was much quieter, but its only 5-6 minutes further on), the whole village is the most beautiful Swiss village, room was spacious, gorgeous views, every night was quiet. Breakfast was good - lots of room, good choice. The lady host was lovely and kind. Her husband seemed fine, didn't see him much. Although there isn't air con, I found no need for it as Kandersteg is high up and cooler. Windows open was fine.

United StatesWe came by train, so this hotel is a 20-minute walk from the train station; it felt like a much longer walk with bags. This walk also includes the gondola station. If you have a car, this location could be perfect, in my opinion.
The price is very reasonable. The restaurant menu has lots of good options. The rooms were clean and had good views.

SpainUnwelcoming check-in, as we arrived after 18:00, since we had a long drive from home. They even told us that they couldn't guarantee the availability as we were "late" (around 19:00-19:30). After the unpleasant check-in, the personnel was nicer during our stay.
Great value for money, very good breakfast and nice dinner options in their restaurant. Room was very nice.

GermanyThere was just a small negative thing. The host were talking quite negative about german politics and goverment to other guests. For me as a german this is not pleasant to hear that while you eat dinner.
Nice big room and a very good local breakfast. The hotel has a great location if you plan to visit the Oeschinensee!

GermanyI try to comunicate with them via booking informing I was going to arrive a bit late and got no reply, that is my only complain.
Kandersteg is an adorable city and the area where the hotel is situated is very nice. Super quiet, with montain views and a small river, some trails and stuff. We loved it. The breakfast was particulary nice, we were not expecting so many options, good coffee, nice tables and tasty food. We stayed in the shared hostel area in the basement, but it was also pretty ok. very silent, clean bathroom and comfortable bed, nothing luxurious of course, but enough for a good night sleep! They have a restaurant and a bar also :)

United KingdomThe wifi signal was weak, even in the reception area. Breakfast from 7.00 or 7.30 would have been better.
This informal hotel on the edge of Kandersteg in the high Alps is really good value. The single room had a balcony. Breakfast (served from 8.00am) had plenty of choice and excellent coffee. Half-board meals (not available on Wednesdays) were very good. Check in and out were easy: I arrived late and the room key was on the reception desk. I left early and a simple breakfast was left for me in the reception area. I will certainly come again.
