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.).

SwitzerlandBreakfast variety could be better. General city problem is that the buses are available only till 6PM.
Although it is at the edge of the city the location is very good. Hotel has plenty of parking spaces and there is a bus stop just in front of the hotel. The city offers free tickets to commute in the area. You can use them to get as far as Meiringen. The valley surrounding the hotel is stunning and a few nice hikes start here. The rooms are nice and in the "swiss village" style.

Saudi ArabiaBeautiful and peaceful place for my family ( 2 adults and 2 kids). We stayed there for 4 days and we wish we stayed more. The location is isolated from the Grindelwald village in a peaceful area where many people come to park at the hotel to go hiking, walking or biking. 20th of April we found snow within walking distance. The hotel provides free bus tickets where you can go multiple times to Grindelwald. Or you can walk for 25min. The family that runs the place is very accommodating and friendly. I recommend renting a car and exploring Grindelwald, Interlaken and the nearby areas while staying in this awesome accommodation. Definitely coming back.

FranceI don't have any.
I made a reservation at this hotel for a weekend skiing but unfortunately, we had to cancel because my son got hurt during the skiing. We actually already came to the hotel but we had to leave after as we need to take our son to a hospital and the hotel staff are very helpful and friendly and they didn't charge us. That's a very nice gesture on their behalf and I am very thankful for their kindness and understanding. Definitely, we will come back for the next ski season and we highly recommend the hotel as the staffs are wonderful. Vielen dank!

QatarThis is by far the worst hotel I have ever stayed at. They charge five-star prices but provide hostel-level service. Here is a list of the issues I encountered: -Rude Staff: The lady at the reception was especially rude. -Inaccessible Rooms: There are numerous stairs to reach the family rooms, and no assistance is provided. When my family struggled with our bags, the receptionist joked about it being good exercise. -Terrible Breakfast: The breakfast consisted of just bread and yogurt, and the area was infested with flies.(photo attached) -No Room Phone: There’s no phone in the room, and if you need help, you have to go down (no elevator) to find an often unattended reception. -Unpleasant Smell: The toilets had a stinking smell and only a sliding glass door without a lock. -No Air Conditioning: With no air conditioning, opening the window lets in flies. -Hidden Charges: Despite showing ‘price includes all taxes and charges’ on Booking.com, they still charged extra for tax. -Unsafe Room Layout: The family room has two beds on separate floors connected by steep, dangerous internal stairs, unsuitable for families with children

SwitzerlandThere wasn’t much space to spend time in the evenings. A small ‘kitchen’ with a microwave and a fridge, but the two chairs were usually used. The terrace was amazing but also I needed to work a bit in the evening and for that it wasn’t ideal.
The location was beautiful!

United KingdomThe shower in the eight-person dormitory is completely unuseable. If you want to get burned or burn your skin until it is red and swollen, you can try it;)
The location is far from the first cliff and the reception will be off work after 9:00 p.m. But they will provide a bus ticket from the railway station to the hostel.

United StatesJust thought the cost was high in relation to the amenities. Everything was clean but very basic. The view out our window overlooked a patio that was a place for the staff to sit and smoke (kind of junky chairs, etc). Lighting in the room was dim. We weren't there for skiing, etc., just a stopover for going to Jungfrau. Maybe someone staying to ski would have been very happy with the room and maybe the price was higher because of the beautiful location. Also, we had dinner at the restaurant and there were a lot of flies (we learned there aren't typically screens on the windows so not sure what could be done, but it was just annoying while eating).
The staff was very friendly and helpful. The area around the hotel was GORGEOUS. It is located on the outskirts of Grindelwald which we loved because Grindelwald itself was pretty hectic. We didn't have time to hike much but it looked like great hiking all around. It was only a 15 minute drive to the train station.
