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 KingdomShame the outdoor terrace was covered over with an awning - it would have been a nice place to sit for a drink.
Easy booking process and easy to find#, great location a brief drive from the shore of the lake, close to the rotthorn bahn. Friendly check-in. Room was as described, but i did think it might have been worth paying the extra for a balcony room as the view from our room -19- was of half of the roofs below and to the side, but it was a lakeview :-) Breakfast was fresh pastries, cheese and meats and self serve hot and cold drinks. Unexpectedly there is a swimming pool and sauna to use and you can also book a hot-tub which is out in the gardens. We ate in Brienz so can't comment on the restaurant. There was an honest bar for snacks, beers, wine at fair prices, but the co-op is a very short distance away but does close early (20:00)

United KingdomThe apartment was basic and dated, though clean. It needed more kitchen equipment as there was only one bowl, no tin opener, sieve, or bottle opener, only 1 bowl, etc. A kitchen cupboard door was falling off and only 1 ring out of 2 on the hob worked.
Lovely location, very helpful staff, clean and ok value for money. Nice breakfast and we had a lovely meal in the restaurant.

United StatesDespite the beautiful setting, this is a three star hotel, and the food and other amenities reflect that One woman at the front desk was borderline rude Having said that we still totally enjoyed our stay There was a huge bathtub in the room Which I enjoyed, but my husband found it difficult to shower from kneeling position
It’s all about the view, of course which is spectacular Most of the staff was terrific and very helpful The food was fine Nothing to write home about but fine We had a nice size room with balcony overlooking the lake and there was a refrigerator and coffee and tea maker

United Kingdomour family room should have had blackout curtains. A roof window wasn't covered and was bringing in light directly to everyone's bed. Kids sleep best when it is dark... some piece was cut out of our carpet. There was a stubbed out cigarette but in the window in one of the changing rooms, lots of smokers outside where we entered the main building, always smelled of smoke.
nice pool, brilliant view, generally the room was nice Food was good, too!

IsraelI didn't like the bathroom since the water spilt out from the bath while having a shower, and it is really dangerous and slippy. Also, I didn't like the cleanliness of the room. We found a lot of dust everywhere in the room. I didn't like that there wasn't a mirror in the room, only in the bathroom. Also, the lighting is really weak in the room. And there isn't air conditioning. It was really hot in the room.
I liked the old feel of the hotel. I also liked the surroundings of the hotel. There is a lot of nature around. I also liked the breakfast and the view from the hotel.

OmanBreakfast was limited & repeated each day. Furniture was little bit aged & bath rooms flooring didn't have any drainage. I didn't like the idea of making me signing on a list of fines to be implemented if we break any of their terms. Nevertheless other than this all was good
Hotel view is breathtaking specially from the hotel garden where you can enjoy the panoramic views of Brinze lake. Location is also near by the city where many nearby shops, restaurants, train station, bus station, boats rentals are all. Available

United KingdomWhen we arrived in Brienz (by train) we tried to contact the hotel to arrange a pick-up, which is a service they offer, but unfortunately our message was not received and the phone was not answered so we had to pay 60CHF to a local taxi man. There was an apology from the hotel but no offer of compensation. If you are arriving by public transport try to contact them the day before. Alternatively be prepared for an uphill hike! Breakfast was slightly chaotic as there seemed to be a staff shortage and we had to clear tables before we could sit down. That said, the food was delicious and plentiful so we aren't complaining!
We had three ’superior' rooms, each with balcony, but two of the rooms were adjacent and had a balcony running across both rooms which allowed us all to sit together in the evening and watch the thunder storms rattle round the mountains! In the mornings we watched the steam trains working hard up the Rothorn Bahn. Wonderful!! The beds are extremely comfortable and the rooms spacious; the bathrooms excellent with powerful showers and the fridge and kettle in each room was much appreciated. Evening meals were all very good (if a little pricey) with plenty of choice and good service.
