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 StatesYou have to lay down your own sheets and bedding. If your room doesn't have a bathroom attached, you have to pay to rent a towel. Laundry is also 5CHF each for washer/dryer, so it's 10CHF to do a load. The laundry room also closes after 10pm, which can be inconvenient.
The location was the best. The hostel is right next to Interlaken Ost, so it's easy to get to, and is very convenient for catching early morning trains to Lauterbrunnen/Grindlewald. There's also a bus stop and Coop market right in front of the train station. You can ask the hostel reception for an Interlaken guest pass, which will give you free bus travel. The Harder Kulm funicular is just a few minutes walk from the hotel as well. There aren't that many hotel options near Interlaken Ost, and of those this hostel is probably best value.

United StatesFor mostly self served in a dorm bunk bed setting, the close to $85 per night is a little overpriced.
Great location for being next to the main train station. The breakfast buffet was good, and the dinner options are affordable.

NetherlandsThe plug points. It was pretty difficult to get the connector to stay as it has to be out upside down (see pic)
I only stayed for a night. Good spot for quick in and out through the oost station. Comfortable beds and big rooms. Would definitely recommend it to solo travellers.

AustraliaNo air conditioning, room was quite muggy being September. Bottom sheet which everyone has is scratchy fabric. Rooms are very small, I noticed one room of boys left their hiking boots and smelly socks outside their door, clever.
Felt like 10m from the train station. We could see the hostel from the station. Across the road was also Coops which is like a supermarket so great for cheaper food and drinks. Hostel was set up great felt like a normal hotel, very flash. Breakfast had a huge selection. Lots of tables and chairs to sit at outside to enjoy the beautiful location. It made Interlaken affordable. Toilets and showers a short walk from rooms on each level. Small camp kitchen with kettle and microwave

New ZealandThe lift is horribly slow and is hopelessly inadequate for the number of guests the facility accommodates. The WiFi works in the ground floor lobby only and does not seem to work in the rooms or on other floors.
Excellent location with decent breakfast. Staff willing to listen to and meet a reasonable and specific request from a guest.

TaiwanToo noisy with lots of students accomodated in the same hostel
Location is perfect, just a few minutes walk from the train station. There are not many options for breakfast but it is already enough (toast, cheese, jam, butter, yogurt, coffee, eggs, hams). The room is quite spacious. The number of shower rooms and toilets is enough and they are clean.

Very near the station! Free breakfast included in the accommodation is worth it! I love how it has different areas of entertainment and a huge communal space for dining. The bedroom, shower room and toilets are well maintained considering the price range of the property. Highly recommended for travellers staying for less than a week.
