How guest reviews work
Each review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and Standards for Reviews
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...).

Verified reviewThe location was a 5 minute walk to the railway station with excellent connections to Brienz and Interlaken. Ursula the host was very welcoming. She met me at the train station, gave me some local pastries and took me back to the train station in her car after I had injured myself and could hardly walk. Good value for the money when compared to other accommodation in the area.
Nothing.

Verified reviewThe property is located quite close to the train station, but is very quiet and peaceful. It is equipped in a simple but functional way, great for a short stay for one or two people. Ursula, the host, is a lovely lady who is well-organized and cares a great deal about her guests’ comfort. The Haslital, where Meiringen is located, is a valley cut deep into impressive mountains, with great views everywhere when it is clear.

Verified reviewStudio apartment with own entrance. Fabulous host gave us lots of local information. Coffee machine with pods :-) Car parked by the door. Meirengen has great lifts and walking/hiking trails, and its calm and peaceful. Lots of eateries, gelateria, etc. This place was the highlight of our holiday. Great value for money, close to train and buses. 10-minute walk to town center and gondola.
We visited Lauterbrunnen and its locale, it was extremely busy with tourist buses and cars, had to queue to park!

Verified reviewUrsula was a wonderful host – warm, friendly, and genuinely committed to making you feel comfortable. The house is located in a stunning valley, just a few minutes’ walk from the Aare River, which is bordered by a walking path and a meadow full of flowers, with the majestic Alps visible on the horizon. The location is perfect for car travelers, close to several attractions like Lake Brienz, not to mention numerous mountain villages interspersed with waterfalls and hiking trails.

Verified reviewThe hostess Ursula is very kind and responsive. She waited for us at the train station to welcome us and showed the way to the apartment. She helped us with our laundry, giving us tatzelwurmli and helped us with coins change to buy milk from the nearby farm. The apartment was very clean and comfortable with good facilities and near the train station.

Verified reviewOur stay in Montanara was fantastic. Ursula was absolutely brilliant and couldn’t do enough to make us feel at home. I could park my motorbike in the undercroft where they keep their bicycles. The personal touch was above and beyond. As for the apartment, it was good-sized, very clean, and comfortable. It was very helpful to have a fully equipped kitchen with a fridge. The apartment is well located in a residential area, 10 minutes walking distance from the city center and 5 minutes from the train station

She made us feel incredibly welcome and helped us navigate the area by showing us local attractions, the information point, and the nearby supermarket. The location was beautiful and clean, surrounded by greenery and featuring a small courtyard with lush grass. Overall, our experience was delightful, and we highly recommend staying here for anyone looking for a welcoming atmosphere and a lovely environment.

Verified reviewMONTANARA is a delightfully situated Holiday Studio. Everything was perfectly prepared for our stay and Ursula’s warm welcome was very much appreciated after a long drive from Zermatt. The studio is well kitted out , with every little item we might need provided, and a lot of extras! The decoration gives a fresh feel to the atmosphere of the room and it is in a very quiet area of Meiringen but less than 10 minutes walk from the centre. A bistro set in the garden, encourages you to relax and take in the dramatic views of the surrounding mountains. There are two supermarkets within a short distance of the property and a variety of restaurants and cafe’s. Hoping to return quite soon.

Verified reviewA very comfortable stay in a convenient location that is about 5 to 10 mins walk from Meiringen station. Ursula was a very friendly and thoughtful host who made my stay there extra enjoyable. I had the luxury of a fully functional kitchen with the much valued expresso making machine. I also enjoyed dining at the small table outside of the property while admiring the mountain view.
Meiringen is about 40 mins train ride away from Interlaken. I had to start my trip earlier to the usual tourist spots, but i have no issues with that since I am a morning person. I was glad that I chose to stay in Meiringen instead of interlaken as the village is very calm and peaceful compared to the chaos in the touristy areas.
