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.).

SwitzerlandRoom was a bit warm, but that's to be expected in the middle of summer.
Super friendly staff. Great breakfast. Even though it was close to the center, we slept like babies. A huge bonus for us was that they had a separate bike room.

GermanyI can't fault Alte Post or their team on anything. I have stayed at many hotels in Lindau, both on and off the island, and none are as good as Alte Post.
This was my second stay at Alte Post and the hotel and their staff exceed the expectations set during my first stay. The rooms were clean, comfortable, spacious, and included great amenities. The included breakfast is special as it's substantial and offers something for every taste. A real highlight of Alte Post are the staff, they are all incredibly kind and helpful, and go above and beyond to ensure their guests are happy. I can't wait to stay at Alte Post again!

United KingdomCan't think of a single thing!
The Alte Post is a 300 year old coaching inn. Downstairs the restaurant looks traditional and the food is great! We ate here, outside in the evenings, 3 times during our week's stay - go for the Hawaiian curry chicken :-) . The food is as good as if not better than the food in the main high street restaurants and as it was so hot it was good to be able to eat at our hotel. The breakfast has a choice of eggs cooked specially for you and a buffet style breakfast bar to choose your own meat, cheese, cereals, fruit, yoghurts and bread. The staff were all very friendly and didn't laugh at our attempts to speak German (I'm sure they were laughing inside!). We had a room on the north side of the building on the second floor, which was cool in 30+ degrees. We regretted bringing such heavy cases as there is no elevator - however the staff helped us with them on arrival. There is a little sun terrace on the second floor and we enjoyed reading outside in the evenings with the swifts flying over head. Lindau has everything you need and you can walk around the island's coastline through parks and pathways. Check out the garden pot and statue shop in one of the old railway sheds as you walk past - good thing we were flying home or our car would have ben full! We went by ferry to Konstanz, Mainau Island and Bregenz - all lovely, and if you love gardens, Mainau is a must - the Italian rose garden was in full bloom - heavenly. We also went to Ravensburg and St Gallen by train (trains and buses are free with the Lindau Card - you get this on arrival at your hotel). The whole area is lovely and there are lots of walks and cycle routes around the lake - would definitely have another holiday here.

GermanyIt’s not a specific issue of this hotel, but guests should be aware that staying inside the island means very likely they have to park outside the island. It’s not a problem because you won’t need the car while you’re there, but it takes a little planning with checking in and out.
The room is so quiet which was very important for me! I feel so comfortable in the room. There is even a Terrasse where we can sit outside. The staff are all very welcoming. We love the breakfast in the morning. There is such a great atmosphere in the hotel. We feel like we are honoured guests. Will definitely stay here again.

United KingdomNothing to say here, it was as expected from a typical old authentic German hotel. So don’t go expecting the luxuries of a modern contemporary hotel.
Authentic German hotel with a very friendly staff and excellent German cuisine. Room were small but tidy and well equip. As expected there was no a/c but the windows opened to provide good ventilation. Just be aware that things in Lindau come alive at 6am when the church bell tolls. Wi-Fi and a most excellent breakfast are included. Easy access to all that Lindau island has to offer.

AustraliaWe stayed 3 nights and were treated to superb, professional customer service. Fabulous location in walking distance to key Lindau attractions but not in the main "tourist" area. The on-site restaurant is absolutely fabulous for dinner and the 'included' breakfast was just wonderful. We were driving a hire car - so parking was going to be a concern - but after dropping off our luggage in front of the hotel, the (very safe) public car park is only a 5 minute walk away. Rooms seem to have been recently refurbished and have plenty of space, with great amenities like safe and fridge. Overall couldn't fault it and would highly recommend it as a venue to stay.

The staff at Alte Post are friendly and attentive. Our room was comfortable and allowed us to relax. The food is great, both the breakfast and the meals at the restaurant. The Hotel is in a great location on the island and is within walking distance of the train station and harbour. It also has a bus stop right outside the front door.
