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 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.).

AustraliaThe shower facilities were a little difficult. Could be an issue for elderly people if you struggle with mobility. But not a personal issue
Walter was a great and accomodating host. He had the room ready on time and even carried our bags to the room for us. The rooms are extremely large and worth the money

United StatesFor the cost I thought what we received was a good value. I’m not sure I would have been as happy staying in the room closest to the entrance door, it seemed more dated.
We stay in room number 12 which was directly across the entrance door. The room was very spacious and clean with a large dining table and the room had multiple windows that open. We didn’t mind sharing a bathroom and had access to a kitchen. They offer breakfast for 8 francs.

United StatesBathrooms were a little odd.
Very bare bones stay, but location was near a bus stop and beds were comfortable. Breakfast was a good value and nice in that it was served in our room, so we were able to enjoy it out on our balcony.

IrelandNo clear signage outside to suggest you have reached Walters hostel. Reception is to the side of house.
Less than 10 mins walk from Interlaken Ost train station. My room was very spacious and equipped with various charging points. The bed was very comfy. The kitchen is equipped with everything you could possibly need and clean.Complimentary coffee too. Bathroom and shower facilities also fantastic, clean towels and soap provided. Walter the host was very nice and offered one complimentary train ticket (subject to certain routes) which I thought was a nice idea.

United StatesThere is not much to write about here. The bathroom and kitchen had some cob webs with harmless spiders, but nothing to worry about. Something made it feel like home!
Great customer service, location is close to a bus stop. What we did not know before was that the stay includes a city transporation pass for local trains and buses. This was a huge bonus! The rooms were massive and comfortable. The kitchen had everything we needed. The host was so joyful and hospitable. We would highly recommend this stay. What you get vs what you pay for it incredible. Also something that was an additional bonus was the Koi fish pond with 2 massive Sturgeons! The building is older, but pretty special. Great stay at Walters Hostel!

The host was very knowledgeable and friendly and assisted us with all of our questions. We were able to drop off our luggage prior to checking in. The host then delivered our luggage to our rooms while we were out in town. The room was great Also, the proximity to the city center was good. Also, we got breakfast for an additional fee, and it was delicious! Would recommend.
