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.).

SwitzerlandThe kitchen does not have microwave. The apartment has 2 staircases which can be tricky for kid of 2 years old, a child stair protection grill can be useful.
We had an apartment for a family of 9 members. The location is directly opposite to the cable car of Oeschinen Lake. We just walked to the cable car station and went up to the Oeschiland and Oeschinen lake for some snow activities during January.

NetherlandsThe price of my stay was rather high, but is to be expected for this perfect location (walking distance from trainstation, free parking spaces available and literally next to the cable car to Oeschinen lake)
Typically Swiss Hotel Ermitage was indeed a typically Swiss hotel, which was exactly what I was hoping for. The room was very neat, had a nice balcony with a great view (see picture) and the bed was perfect. Besides the great breakfast I had a surprisingly good dinner at the hotel restaurant and was impressed with both the food and the staff, who were not only very capable, but also sociable and provided great (local) tips. I was also pleasantly surprised with the idea of a central minibar (with coffee/tea, soda, fruit juice and alcoholfree beer) on the floor instead of in each room individually. Works perfect!

SwitzerlandBreakfast buffet needs improvement and much faster refill. We ran out of bread. Very little selection of cheese and hit meals such as scrambled or fried eggs.
Nice authentic Swiss chalet style hotel. Little bit outside of city center. Spacious room, clean and functional. Friendly staff.

United StatesNothing at all.
The staff went out of their way to help us, we were delayed and arrived very late after a long day of travel. Our room was fantastic. Gorgeous views, comfortable bed, the sound of waterfalls and cow bells was delightful to wake up to. Breakfast was great, a good spread of various local foods and the coffee was exceptional. It was just next to the lift up to the lake. Highly recommend this little gem.
