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 StatesNot really a complaint, but you can't control the Weather. So I recommend booking 3 or 4 nights for best results and best chances to enjoy the view,, depending on the time of year. Please note as others mentioned you may need to anticipate a Taxi for about 50 CHF, prenegotiated flat fare by the owners to keep it reasonable. You can actually walk/hike, but it is a bit of a climb until you get used to some of the shortcuts. We considered renting eBikes, however those are even more expensive than the Taxi. Sure would be fun though! Try it out.
Absolutely wonderful, 10/10. A lot of thought and caring is put into this Chalet. It is a bit off the beaten path, but we found it accessible enough for 3 nights in May. You cannot beat the view and waking up to the Matterhorn out your front window, from you deck/terrace for Breakfast. The Restaurant is also one of the best in Zermatt and locals make the trip up the hill for some fine dining and social affairs. It seems like they have thought of everything you might need, from toiletries on through all you need for an outstanding Breakfast every day. Claudio was very attentive, communicates well, and you can tell really cares about the experience of all his guests. 100% would/will stay here again if we get the chance.

United KingdomNothing. Does not apply simple as that!!
The location, beautiful views to die for from every angle. Very comfortable and spotlessly clean. Balcony with furniture to admire the views while having breakfast and drinks while watching the sunset over the mountains especially the Matterhorn. Claudio was very helpful and when the extra mile. We didn’t get chance to enjoy the restaurant due to being our from early while late due to so many activities and hiking. Thanks so much you are a lovely gentleman.

GermanyOur stay at Claudios place „Chalet Ried“ was an absolute highlight on our trip through Switzerland. The apartment is lovely and equipped with everything you need. The views from both sides of the apartment are breathtaking. It’s located in a very quiet and beautiful place higher than Zermatt Centre. If you are going from the central station, keep in mind a taxi drive for ~ 50CHF or ask Claudio for tips to come by public transport. It’s absolutely worth the extra drive. We liked that underneath the apartment, Claudio has a beautiful restaurant with DELICIOUS food and wine. The team is very friendly and made us feel at home. We are coming back :)

United KingdomOk - so hands up - I did not read the facilities section fully and there are no facilities to cook and I love to cook! We got round this, so it was fine but be prepared eating and drinking in Zermatt is expensive. We knew it would be, but were not quite prepared for prices that were more than double to that of UK prices. In order to get those awesome views, the property is out of town - uphill 30/40 minutes. We were ok as we hike a lot, but at the end of the day - it could be a challenge. To get a taxi is 50 euros. Our advice - stock up at the supermarket early on and take the shopping up in a taxi. Supermarket prices are also expensive. More pillows would have been perfect.
We booked this property based on the reviews of the view and it did not disappoint. The views from both balconies are simply stunning. The situation is a little isolated, which we loved. We enjoyed many fabulous hikes and hired e-bikes from the town. The trails for bikes and hikes are challenging. One day we took the train up to Gornergrat (take a coat) and walked down (4+ hours) steep downhill. Visit the Matterhorn experience - worth the cost. We stayed for a week and found different hikes/activities each day. The property is very clean and well equipped. Claudio and the team are fabulous, very friendly and their service is excellent. You can book a very good meal downstairs in the restaurant. The food supplied each day in the fridge was a very welcome bonus - bread, milk, cheese, ham, yoghurts etc... We had a fabulous week - cannot recommend more highly!

United StatesOther than needing a taxi to and from ….the place is a 10/10!
The chalet was amazing. By far the nicest place we stayed in during our Switzerland trip. Plenty of room for 2 and the view was breathtaking. In hind sight we would have left our luggage in a train station locker and just packed necessities in our back packs. There is no way to get to the chalet by walking with luggage. It would be a 40 minute walk up hill and paved/rocky road eventually. We took a taxi to and from the train station which was 50 chf each time. If I could do it again I would leave luggage , pack backpacks, and rent e-bikes immediately on arrival. Then you can get to and from the chalet in 10 minutes and enjoy amazing views along the way. We would definitely stay here again!

United StatesAnyone can dig deep to try to find something negative about anything and everything. I refuse to do so. Not
I don’t know where to start. Absolutely epic experience here at the Matterhorn Ried. Loved the remote location. Loved the views, even when the Matterhorn was hiding, Loved the extra touches such as the delicious coffee with daily refills, fresh fruit with daily restock, stocked fridge with yummies, and of course the Tobleones. The list goes on.

United StatesDo have to walk a long way from town uphill or take a taxi but the location is worth it. And in winter they transport you with a snow mobile with your luggage.
View is amazing! Great accommodations all around! And food is fantastic at the restaurant which is about 20 steps from front door and connected to the Chalet. A super quiet and relaxed atmosphere with best views around of Matterhorn. Claudio has nailed it! Everyone is WONDERFUL!!

United StatesIt was so lovely! Comfortable and well-appointed, and you can not beat the views!!! The hosts were incredibly welcoming and helpful, and the food was terrific! Could not recommend it more! The property is about 3km walk uphill on a dirt road from the train station. You can take a taxi, but it is pricey (~50-65CHF). You may want to consider renting e-bikes for easy trips to/from town.

GermanyI can't really say anything bad about this place but do keep in mind you need to get here by a snowmobile (in winter) so figuring out logistics can be challenging with timing when renting skis, carrying up luggage etc.. you need to have an open mind and an adventurous spirit!
Once arriving to the chalet, we were greeted warmly by the staff! They offered to make us whatever we wanted from their restaurant. Very accommodating and super friendly! We didn't realize how amazing the view was of the village and matterhorn. Unreal! The place was immaculate. We LOVED the fireplace, stocked fridge, beds were SUPER comfortable. Place was so cozy and welcoming. Very thoughtful details put into everything. I want to come back here again in the future!

United StatesIt is on the outskirts of town and to get there and leave with luggage need a cab from the train station.  It is a 20 minute walk to the outskirts of town longer if going to city center. Beautiful walk but it is uphill on the way back. Two out of shape 60 year olds did fine.  I am not sure how the road is in the winter as we were here in the fall. The host is extremely helpful and I’m sure can help with this. His English is impeccable, and he speaks other languages as well.
Nice kitchenette with well stocked pantry, and refrigerator. Refrigerator had eggs, milk, juices, butter, cheeses, and sliced deli meats. It had a cooktop, coffee, maker, electric tea, kettle , toaster, and egg maker. Well, stocked with glasses, cups, dinnerware, and cutlery. Very clean. Living room was lovely with great million dollar views of the Matterhorn from the window and small balcony. Had a sofa, dining table, and fireplace. Bedroom had large bed with adequate closets and storage space. Well, equipped bathroom shower had good hot water and water pressure restaurant had excellent food. It closes early so that it is very quiet at night. Hikers and bikers dream in the fall.
