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 StatesThe breakfast was just as good as nicer hotels that we stayed in while traveling in Switzerland. It was our first time staying in a hostel. It met our needs.

Australia- Ease of access: no lifts to get to room one floor up, otherwise fine - Warmth/cool: no fan or aircon in room. A bit warm at night even with windows open in June. - Check in: Long line to check in. It took about 30 mins, despite having completed the online check in process prior to speed it up.
- location: great location close to Grindelwald terminal - WiFi: WiFi was good - Bed: comfortable - Shower: shared bathroom facilities were clean and always available. Never had to wait. - Other facilities: shared communal area had microwave available for heating up food if needed. No fridge. - Noise: quiet, did not disturb us - Luggage storage: happy to hold our luggage prior to check in - Cleanliness: property and facilities were clean and well maintained. - Breakfast: included in price which we were grateful for. However, very simple breakfast and not much available.

United KingdomThe hostel is located a short walk from Grindelwald Terminal station, and a short 15-20 minute walk into town. Immediately outside the hostel is the cable car that takes you to the Jungfraujoch cable car. Theres also a small Coop supermarket inside the station. I stayed in a 6 bed dorm which was comfortable, it had lockers (need a 5 CHF coin which you get back), and a sink. There’s washing facilities (5CHF for wash & 5 for dry). The breakfast was amazing, truly excellent start to the day before hiking etc. Staff were great & very helpful. the Bar & Grill was open on my final night and it served tasty food and drink. Keep in mind the check in time is when reception desk opens! So if you turn up at 1, expect to wait around for a couple hours.

GermanyUncomfortable bed and pillow. I don't think they even cleaned it after the person before me because I found hair on the bed,a lot..so that was strange. The first night I arrived, I didn't have a locker and they gave me a token at the reception for another locker in another place. Which means, I want to take a shower, I have to go around the hostel to get my things and so on, which seemed absurdly funny to me and they were not helpful at the reception, so a big minus in that regard. I was lucky that the guy from the room left the next day and left the key on my bed. The showers were not cleaned. Likewise, after 9 p.m., there was no one at the reception, so I had the feeling that I was working there, considering that I was explaining to people where and how to get to the rooms and where their check-in cards were.
A lot of things are close by. The breakfast was okay

NetherlandsI can only tell from the room I was in, but the doormitory was not that great. Hardly any ventilation with smelly hiking shoes and sweat being prevalent. The top bed had no protection barrier from falling and was almost against the ceiling.
For a hostel, an amazing buffet breakfast! Fresh ingedrients and much choice. Staff were very helpful and kind.

United KingdomThe top bunks in the rooms are difficult to climb up/down as they have very little head-room. Would also be good to add a little shelf and charging port for the top bunks. I think they should take some of the head-room from the bottom bunks to improve the situation a bit, I appreciate space is limited
Spacious common area with plenty of seating, and free (shabby) pool table. Clean rooms and plenty of toilets/showers, all of which were pretty much spotless. Excellent transport links and a supermarket nearby in the terminal. The breakfast is phenomenal too

Singaporesome things you should note - a single bathroom is shared for the whole floor (>10 rooms), you have to be prepared to wait if someone needs a long time. The shared bathrooms in the basement have dim lights which can get quite dark and creepy at night. Room was quite small for two luggages and the room lights were quite dim as well. if youre prepared for these things its still a comfortable stay.
service was exceptional! staff were extremely friendly and they would come to help if you looked like you were struggling. location is really near grindelwald terminal so convenient. breakfast had a great spread too!
