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 StatesThat we can’t live there! We loved everything about this property!
The view from our rooms was astounding. The rooms were comfortable with very nice fixtures and furniture. Everything was immaculate. When we arrived after a long, rainy day on the road, we were so pleased to be able to have dinner in the Gastrube instead of driving elsewhere. The food was prepared by a chef that loves to cook. The taste and presentation were both phenomenal! It was such an unexpected treat. We enjoyed interacting with the family of this family run business and found everyone to be gracious and friendly.

SwitzerlandThis is a working farm area. The church is right next door and the bell chimes every 15 minutes. Bring ear plugs if you can't sleep with the sounds.
Beautiful scenery right out the window. One of the cleanest guesthouse we've been to.

SwitzerlandThere is nothing really negative. I would have appreciated a few more electric plugs in the room (then again they even have a converter in the room). I am sure if I asked for it I would have gotten a multi-plug extension. Again not a negative comment, but a car would come in very handy when you travel to Schlatt.
This is truly a magical place. First off, consider staying at least a few days. You will be sorry if you spend only one night here. The hotel is in a very cute village overlooking the Saentis range with a breathtaking view. Even better than the view is the restaurant. Great breakfast will be prepared for you in the morning. The restaurant in the hotel is one of the best in the region. The room we stayed is perfect, recently renovated, modern bathroom and with a killer view. Also, the sensitivity of the hosts to allergies has been very welcome. My wife suffers from celiac disease, and we were able to get fresh glutenfree bread as well as recommendations for dishes suitable for her throughout our stay. Very pleasant surprise.

PolandThere is only one downside here: on the other side of the road there is a church which rings their bells literally every 15 minutes, 24/7. You get used to it, but in the night it's good to have earplugs.
A lovely family run hotel in beautiful location. The view from the rooms is to die for! There's a lovely terrace under a huge tree that provides a nice shade. The family running it are super nice and very helpful. Breakfast is large and very good. There's also an on site restaurant with delicious food and good choice of wine.

This is a lovely, welcoming, family run hotel. It's in a quiet location with views of Säntis and the ridge running to Hoher Kasten. The food is excellent, we were there in autumn so there was plenty of seasonal meats on the menu. Breakfast was excellent too. We couldn't fault anything.

United StatesWe loved everything! We enjoyed walking around the village. I believe a car is required since the lodgings are up on the mountain above Appenzell but only a five minute drive to town. The cowbells and church bells added to the ambiance.
The view of mountains and valley are spectacular! Dinner on the terrace was magical and the cuisine is delicious. The family that has run the gasthaus for six generations are so kind and helpful that at the end of our stay I was sad to leave them!
