Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

SwitzerlandThe hospitality and service provided by Hotel Appenzell exceeded our expectations. They accommodated our special requests as we travelled with our infant. Their rooms were very spacious and well maintained. The staff were always there to make us feel comfortable throughout our stay. Excellent breakfast and I would definitely recommend to stay at this property for its location and service.

SwitzerlandTo my taste, food in the restaurant was a bit salty.
It was a nice weekend visit of Appenzell. The hotel is located on the main square of the city. We had a good room with a cot provided for free. The room was equipped with comfy beds, bath, wardrobe, a couple of arm chairs and a table, free WiFi. Breakfast was fresh, tasty and with many options. We had a dinner at the hotel and were satisfied with ordered dishes. If you are with small children, you could find some books, colouring books, some toys and entertaining items. Besides restaurant, the hotel has its own bakery / cafeteria, which is open all day long.

AustraliaOne minor thing not really controllable by the hotel, but it was rather hot when we stayed and without AC it made the evenings/ sleeping a little uncomfortable. While opening the windows helped it did mean we also had to live with the noises associated with being in the middle of town.
This was our second stay at this hotel, and still as good as the first time. Great location in the middle of town and only a short flat walk to and from the station. This time we got a room with the windows facing the hills and fields just out of town. These rolling hills are one of the reasons we revisited the region and it was great to be able to see them from our window. The breakfast set-up was great as before and the eggs on the Sunday were a nice bonus. Great communication in regards to getting our Appenzell Cards which made getting around the area so much easier.

United States of AmericaThe room was comfortable, but a little noisy above the active restaurant at night. No a/c which could cause issues in the heat of summer.
This was a classic Swiss hotel with gorgeous architectural details. The cafe food was very good for both breakfast and dinner. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The hotel is located in the center of Appenzell town and convenient to all walkable areas.

The location is excellent. It is very clean and comfortable. We were unable to watch any English speaking television and we couldn’t air play onto the tv. Other than that, it was a wonderful one night stay in a cute town with nice shops. The food at the restaurant and the buffet were very good.

United Kingdom-no fridge in room, it should have at least a small one -bin somewhat small -eggs need to be ordered separately rather than taken from location as some waitresses mistake fried and cooked eggs at least if you ask in english - pillow is strange, it adapts to your head I did not like it -instead of placing items for sale in a buffey which confuse, they could put some bacon/eggs/sausagges facilities
Very convenient location, nice building design, pleasant dining area, helpful staff, nice bathroom, good breakfast, nice view out of the window, breakfast available from 7:30
