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.).

NetherlandsI wasn't sure about the bed & the old carpet. I hope they change the bedding daily. I also hope they replace it with a white color and put more sheets on the mattress instead only a overlay. But maybe I am to picky.
The host was nice, everything was good. It was a old, but considering the average prices of hotels in Switzerland I have no reason to complain.

United KingdomThe bed & pillows are a little soft, but we still had a great night sleep. The walls are thin so you can hear noises from other rooms but it wasn’t terrible. Overall the hotel is still perfect and we would definitely return.
The hotel is in an excellent location. Kandersteg is beautiful and is perfect for exploring Oeschinensee & other local attractions. The hotel is small and has everything you need. The breakfast is delicious! No fridge or kettle in the room but there are other facilities to make up for this - a small communal fridge in the corridor and the option to get hot water from the restaurant if needed. The views all around the hotel are stunning. It was the perfect base for our trip.

The breakfast was really good, plenty of choice of cold buffet, cereals, eggs, croissants, and if things ran low, they were topped up straight away. We were even asked if we wanted more eggs, never been asked this in many years.A good choice of coffees too. We had a balcony room at the front, on the road side, but traffic is very light, and non existent overnight. I'd recommend to anyone looking for a nice place to stay, at a reasonable price in an expensive country. It's an easy 10 minute walk on the level from the station, and food shops are close by. The Hotel Alpenblick , 100 metres away, does simple meals at a fair price

New ZealandThe bathroom size was tiny and not suitable for the person with weight over 70KG , both of us are small Asian ladies we didn't have problem with the small bathroom. They don't have lift available for moving big luggages to upstair rooms.
The hotel is easy to find which is located close to the main road. The staff was very friendly and responsive quickly. The breakfast had good choices and we loved their fresh hot croissants. The bed is very comfortable and room has a balcony with very nice mountain view. Parking is free and easy to park. They cleaned the room daily with fresh new towels.

MaltaThe property should inform their guests about the guests card. It was a bit confusing for not explaining the benefits of the card.
Clean rooms. Well located near the station around 10min walk. There’s a bus station to blausee close by. Guest card available for free buses around and discount on some attractions around the area. Walkable to restaurants and supermarkets. Nice views from the balcony. Smooth check in and check out.

United KingdomI would’ve liked a kettle in my room. To get hot water at night you have to go downstairs into the breakfast area and get it from the coffee machine, which is also closed after 7pm.
It was great to have breakfast included with the option of sitting inside or outside. It was great to have a balcony with the room which wasn’t expected! The room itself was nice and the staff were welcoming.
