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 StatesFor a youth hostel in the youth off season, I thought it was expensive. We marked that up to being in Switzerland.
What we like the most, the gracious and friendly concierge who shared her knowledge of Pontracina with us in the most engaging manner. Also exceptional was its location next to the superlative Italian restaurant in the station Hotel, Ricardo's, where are the salads, pasta, and service, by Roberto, were exceptional, one of the best restaurant experiences we have had in Switzerland. My room was large, having four beds for just the Two of Us, and it had a sink. Not to be dismissed, the hostel was right next to the train station that facilitated our day trip to the very foggy turquoise-lake Bernina pass. We greatly enjoyed the cogwheel train trip to Murottas Muragel.

ItalyThe pricing is more of a Swiss culture pricing issue. Low for Swiss standards but still not low enough for me. There was a large booking with children and that wasn't as pleasant during breakfast. It would have been better when I extended in person my stay the first time, to give me the same rate as I found on booking. So when I extended the second time, I I had to go via the app.
The reception staff is incredibly friendly and very helpful. Always a smile and the answered all my inquiries with care plus willing to go the extra way.

United StatesReception doesn't open until 4pm, so if you arrive before then you have to wait. There are lockers to store your luggage, though you need 2 swiss francs to lock the locker.
Great location directly across from the train station. There is also a bus to St Moritz right next to the train station (5.60 francs one way without any discounts). The hostel is clean and the rooms are a good size. Helpful staff. Great breakfast. There's also a nice common room with a refrigerator and microwave, as well as books and games. Dinner is a good deal, though there is a grocery store in town if you're looking for something cheaper that you can microwave. People of all ages in this hostel. Nice, friendly vibe.

AustraliaOnly one shower for the floor with at least 6 dorms rooms seems crazy. Small room for 3 bunks, felt crowded with luggage.
Very convenient to train station and a small walk to village. Bed comfy but I wish they were assigned to you, might help stop randoms getting in the wrong one in the middle of the night.
