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.).

Hong KongThe price is crazy to be honest. It is four times more than a similar room in other European countries. But it is already the cheapest option we had at the time of booking. Here we are in the most popular place in one of the most expensive countries. If you have budget, please reserve a room with good scenery. It will make you feel more worthed.
The breakfast is perfect. You can ask for a cup of nice latte and scrambled eggs, which are not displayed in the area. And if you can find a seat next to the window, the view is stunning. The breakfast time really gets you prepared for a good day.

United StatesYou can take a taxi to the car park but then a hike up an incline to the hotel … I know several friends who would have a difficult time… we did struggle some especially with our suitcases and we hike a lot… owner aware thinking of a solution. Hotel very up front during your booking so not a surprise!!!
The small hotel is absolutely exceptional except for the location… owners and staff went out of their way to make you feel at home. Their restaurant was excellent… meals delicious . Our room was large/ clean with a great sitting area! Balcony

MexicoThe room was very comfortable and clean and the view of the mountains gives a special touch to the room. The hotel is very nice, comfortable and beautiful; I loved that it felt so cozy, plus they have a chalet decorated with lights which looks beautiful at night and during the day you can enjoy the view of the mountains from there. The staff is very friendly and attentive and the breakfast was very delicious.

United KingdomThe hotel is positioned on a hillside, which is great for the view, but it is an effort to get up there especially with cases. The last 200M has to be walked. The hotel would not be suitable for wheelchair users due to the steep slope and the need to access stairs up to Reception and within the building. An external handrail up the stairs to Recepton is currently missing, so those with mobility issues may have concerns.
Very friendly and helpful proprietors. Breakfast was very good, well presented and with freshly prepared fruit.

United StatesThe path up to the hotel is very steep, it was really hard to get there with luggages. But all the hotels in Grindelwald were on mountains so it’s very understandable.
We loved everything about this hotel. Friendly staff, great views, delicious breakfast, great location, clean and spacious room/bathroom. Would def stay here again in the future.

SwitzerlandOne annoying thing was to chase service personnel in the morning to get some coffee - they're nice but they were showing up only every 15 minutes or so to check for new guests at breakfast, so we had to go look for them. I'm not sure why the coffee machine is not part of the buffet, they clearly use one to make coffee when asked.
Firstly, don't be discouraged with reviews about steep path to the hotel - it's kinda steep paved walk but from the parking lot it's about 100 meters, maybe less, and it's not THAT steep - it's a regular Swiss mountain village walk. Just don't take all the luggage in one go, if there's a lot. The hotel itself is great - it's very pretty inside and outside, well maintained, comfortable and with great views. Receptionist that met us was very helpful and welcoming, and generally everything was great - it's in quiet part outside of the main street, yet it's just few minutes walk from the central area. Good breakfast, too.

PolandThere is some space to improve the breakfast. Maybe some pancakes? More fruits?
That was the place I was looking for. Recommend. Switzerland is quite an expensive country. For a room in a 4* hotel, you will pay 500 - 1000$ (the same quality in other countries are 100 - 200$). But you can find a hotel like where I have been: small, with a touch of local taste. Close to the rail station, shops, and restaurants with astonishing views of beautiful mountains. The hotel will be renovated in the next few months. I hope the local style will remain. The young people working there are great: with a warm smile, they will help you with everything.
