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.).

United StatesThere was only one plug in the entire room and it was by the front door, up high, which made it difficult to charge multiple things at a time. There was an additional outlet in the bathroom but that was far from the beds. The bathroom is in desperate need of updating. The sink and toilet were an orangey color from like the 1960's and the shower curtain was so long it blocked the water from draining in the shower (though they shower pressure/temperature was awesome actually). This was a 10 minute UPHILL walk from the train station so keep that in mind.
We loved being so close to First and could literally walk out the front door, take a right, and get on the gondola up to First! No kidding! The room was a larger size and the beds were very comfortable. The staff was helpful. Breakfast was typical but nothing too exciting.

MalaysiaThe curtains to our windows were too thin, I think people walking-by can see the inside of the room, especially at night. There were only 2 power points in the room, another in the toilet. Hair-dryer and iron(also ironing board) are shared across the whole hotel, hence access to the items are limited.
Good breakfast with selection of espresso-based coffee and variety of juices, staffs were friendly. Rooms size was adequate. Location was right in front of Grindelwald First, Gondola Station. Bus station for both direction are right in front of the hotel.

SingaporeWe stayed 2 nights in December. Our rooms were quite cold even with the heater turn on to the max. It would be great if heating for the rooms can be improved.
We notify the hotel that we are only able to check in after 8pm. They prepared and envelope with our name with the keys and guest cards. The staff even stayed back to ensure that we receive the check in instructions. The hotel is right beside the Grindelwald Firstbahn cable lift which brings one up to Grindelwald First. About 10 minutes walk from Grindelwald Train station. The view outside the hotel was great.

Singaporefor our breakfast the next day, my friend and I requested to have the takeaway version as we had to stick to our itinerary plan and had to leave early. upon realising that we did not have to leave early and that we could stay in the hotel for our breakfast, we decided to get some other food and drinks from their buffet spread but were impolitely told off by one of the staff that we need to pay for their breakfast because we already requested for their takeaway version. we did not pay eventually, after some negotiation which was nice of them. but we felt that the staff could have communicated in a better way, instead of talking to us so rudely and demanding that we have to pay for their breakfast.
when i checked in, the staff at the counter was very welcoming. super convenient for those looking to go to grindelwald first. rooms were super cosy as well. gives off the japanese vibes.
