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.).

United KingdomRoom was above the kitchen and sometimes could hear the pans banging late in the night.
Schonried is a magical village, with chalets perched on top of the other as they climb up the hill. The hotel is nicely placed in the centre of the village, with free parking and walking distance to Horneggli ski lift. The architecture is typical Swiss chalet, simple but warm and elegant. The restaurant is excellent - we had breakfast every morning (varied and with great choices, friendly staff catering for all your whims), and dinner twice - high class food accompanied by Swiss wines and marvelous deserts. Sannen and Gstaad are not that far and are also beautiful to visit and mingle with locals and tourists (and you get a chance to see some celebrities, like we saw JC Van Damme :)

New ZealandThere wasn't a fridge in my room - however didnt really matter as I was able to keep anything cold by putting on the windowsill outside to keep cold!
I loved my stay at Hotel Kernen ! Close to railway station & walking distance to ski field. Very welcoming hotel & staff were amazing - Bruno the owner made a huge effort with his guests & is a lovely person. Meals in the restaurant were divine . Highly recommend to stay here rather than in Gstaad town centre.

SwitzerlandBreakfast is great! The hotel is very conveniently located to the ski lift. You can walk with ski boots, no need to worry about the distance. There are also two ski stores which can rent ski/snowboard. Bruno Kernen is the best hotel owner I have met so far.

United KingdomHonestly I have nothing bad to say I just had a great stay
Location is great next to train station but not noisy. Had an incredible stay at the Kernen hotel! The owner and entire staff were simply brilliant, from the attentive housekeepers to every member of the team. The service was exceptional, and the location added to the overall charm. Highly recommend this place for a delightful experience! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ⭐️

AustraliaIt was fairly expensive but we did travel at a busy time of year (Christmas time)
Beautiful property with great views and excellent location. Breakfast was for a good length of time and a wide variety of food. We ate in the restaurant a few times and enjoyed the meals each time. Staff were very hospitable and welcoming. Went out of their way to help us with activities and bookings.

LuxembourgThe big pillow not really guarantees a good night. It looks nice, but too high/tall ..Maybe a second more compfy pillow would be good?
The hotel is very well maintained and managed! Totally renovated and beautiful located in the Gstaad area. Parking for free. Opposite the train station of Schönried. The breakfast is absolutely good and some 5 star hotels can’t compete with!

United KingdomThe evening meal was either a fixed menu with options or a la carte. The former was too much food for me and quite costly at CHF 50 but a single course a la care could be over CHF 40 - so I ended up eating dinner elsewhere
