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 StatesDue to low staffing, the breakfast was no longer available after the first day. Service was VERY slow in the restaurant. The closet was inadequate for just the 2 of us. Had there been 4, impossible. Towels were delivered every day - but there were NO towel racks for hanging wet towels. There was no one staffing reception for most of the day.
Room was large with a double bed and 2 twin beds. The deck was great and the umbrella saved the day, since it was quite rainy. Nice that a restaurant was on the ground floor with outdoor patio seating, plus a glassed-in seating area with a small fire going. The inside of the restaurant was very cozy. They offered a good breakfast the first day we were there. Location is great. The Valley bus stops just across the street from the hotel!

RomaniaThe biggest problem with this accommodation was the bathroom - very small and the ceiling that seemed to have mold stains.
The location is superb, few steps from the most famous view point of Lauterbrunnen. The room had a nice view and it was clean. Could use small adjustments to make it more comfortable but it was a one night stay so it wasn’t a problem

United StatesThere is a reception but no one to great you. You have to walk into the restaurant, wait to be acknowledged and then for them to help you. But they did let us leave luggage until check in time. It felt older but was clean.
The location was perfect and Lauterbrunnen is a cute town. The hotel was adequate in every way but I would say it was spectacular. The room had a sloped ceiling which was a little awkward but we didn’t hate it.

United StatesThis time we stayed at room 40, at the top. Weird build, shower on one side, sink on another, toilet another. Except for beds, facilities look and smell old and dated. Half of the plugs did not work (or we could not make them work). Not a hanger to hang clothes. No balcony on this one, and room is dark. Room 42, on the other hand, was much more open, and less strange construction. so depends on your luck on which one you will get for exactly same price.
Best of this place is location. Beds were very good. We have stayed before in here with friends, so we have seen 4 rooms in total in this hotel (this time rooms 40 and 42). Free parking is good, and they allowed us to leave the car all day after we checked out. that was very nice. Price is decent given the location but definitely place is showing age, and some rooms are definitely more dated than others.

CroatiaU kuponi postoji ugradeni fen, ali ne postoji uticnica za njega. Svijetlo u kupaoni nismo mogli ugasiti jer nije radio prekidac. O svemu smo obavijestili osoblje ali nista nisu poduzeli. Dali su nam fen koji se gasio svakih 3 minute od pregrijavanja. Imali smo sobu s terasom koja je bila zarastena u travi.
Lokacija je odlicna

United KingdomCheck-in staff will appear only at 4pm. Even if you reach hotel at 3 or 3.30pm you need to wait. there is no flexibility. I found this bit rude
Generally I don't write reviews but to help community I am writing this. Location is excellent. many vloggers have videos taken just opposite the hotel as its good location. Restaurant is good a but pricey. We ate here and Hornerpub (2min walk. Good food and not pricey. Indian curry and rice is good+ other food as well) We are family of 4 from Uk and room was good but definitely bathroom needs improvement but its not bad to use now. Hotel has free parking.

AustraliaBathroom didnt smell good, there is a note saying if you the room gets uncomfortable/hot please let reception know, we did and there was nothing they could do about it, huh? why bother?!? Not even a fan to help. Im all for environmentally friendly, but not at the expense of comfort.
Room was clean and simple, beautiful views.

SwitzerlandThere was 1 electric socket in the entire room, but we were provided with an extension/multiplier. I always take with me a charger that needs one socket but has multiple USB exits, so it all was good for charging our phones, power banks, photocamera batteries. The building inside had a bit funny smell, like some old flats do, but I have an extremely sensitive nose, so probably most people would not notice. it didn't bother me much though.
The location is great (and that is what you pay for) - in the heart of Lauterbrunnen, near the Staubach waterfall. From some rooms, you can see the waterfall. From my room, I could not see it, but I could hear it and was falling asleep to the sound of the waterfall at night. The room is basic (as I guess all hotels there - I stayed in two), but has everything necessary. The beds are fine. The room was clean. There was a kettle that I think no one used because it smelled a lot like plastic. We haven't ate in the restaurant so can't comment on that. But the views from the restaurant are on the waterfall - can recommend it just because of that.

United StatesThe bathroom shower curtain was way too tall for that rod and the bottom of the curtain had so much scum and discoloration, it was gross. If they can’t raise the shower bar, they need to clip it with binder clips or something. I didn’t bother to ask the front staff for some- they seemed frustrated by a simple question that I had asked previously.
Proximity to things in town. Views from the room.
