Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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):
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...).

United StatesThe location was too touristy for us, primarily because of people going to/from the trains and boat. Wires and banners obstructed the lake view. Had to pay 2fr. for a tiny cup of ice!
Location was good and bad. We had a balcony overlooking the nice lake view. It was convenient being near the train and boat dock. Room was clean and comfortable. Nice breakfast included. Helpful staff. Good wi-fi.

The location is near to the train station, the pier and the lake. The room is traditional and exactly the same as the pictures of the description. Lake view is good with bottles of beers!

Ideal location next to the train station and the boat, mountain steam railway behind as well. Views across the lake were fantastic. Easy parking behind the hotel. Breakfast buffet had everything we needed and the Restaurant in the evening just as good. We were on a road trip and Hotel Weisses Kreuz was an ideal stop over to drive all the mountain passes near by.

United KingdomAll was good. Just had to keep an eye and catch early train from centre (eg Interlaken) not exceeding 9-9.30pm as transport late night can be a challenge in Switzerland.
View from window and balcony. Accessibility to train station and boat(just opposite) Accessibility to a very nice walking scenic path beside lake Breinz. Cute town side. Nice restaurant with good food and service as well.

SingaporeI had a wonderful stay at Hotel Weisses Kreuz in Brienz. The hotel is charming, clean, and very comfortable. One of the best things is its location—right in front of the Brienz train station, just a minute’s walk away, which made traveling super convenient. The surrounding area is peaceful and scenic, perfect for a relaxing stay. Overall, it was a great experience, and I’d definitely recommend it to anyone visiting Brienz

BelgiumThere are some things however that may need urgent improvement in this hotel: - The prices for hotelrooms in Switzerland are highly overrated/overpriced. For the same high amount which we paid, you would have a luxury room with a private bathroom and nice views in Belgium. - A 'shared' bathroom in a hotel is totally outdated and unacceptable, especially when you have to share it with complete strangers (it might fit families though). No privacy and a dirty floor, an unfresh toilet and an used bathtub were our daily dose of annoyance. The bathroom and bedroom have been checked and freshened up every morning though. - The chiefs of staff have been quite rude with their subordinates. In front of the hotel-guests some staff-members were treated with anger and impatience. That is really NOT done. A special mention to the older lady with blond hair in the breakfast-area: try to be a little more kind to everyone, it will elevate the general atmosphere in your hotel! This applies to all staff-members and especially the manager of this hotel. - Our arrival in the hotel was not so welcoming. Many Swiss people seem to have a bit of moody characters and have some problems with being kind and acting kindly. This weighs on the general atmosphere.
The hotel has lovely views on the Brienzer Lake. At first sight the hotel-interior has this typical 'Switzerland'-vibe with wooden furniture and handpainted cupboards. The outside sitting-area however is a little boring, just plain tables, plastic chairs and a big contrast with the interior areas. No flowers, no candles, no lights on the tables. We booked this hotel through a platform and were a little sceptical about the description in the advertisement: 'shared bathroom'. In other European countries we associate this with hostels and campings, but not with a hotel. The bedroom was fine, overlooking the backside of the hotel with small trainstation; the two beds and pillows were excellent. The breakfast is fine with a good choice of products and the restaurant offers delicious and well prepared dishes. There are plenty of outdoor activities in this beautiful Swiss region (Brienz, Lauterbrunnen, Staubach, Trümmelbach). Another positif aspect: free parking for hotel guests. A HUGE thank you to the 2 young ladies/staff-members who helped us with getting our breakfast and prepared a coffee for us on the very early morning we left the hotel! Their kind help and lovely smiles absolutely were a nice goodbye.

United StatesThe carpet was odd, if the room had air conditioning it would have been perfect. Maybe it might have been ok in the past, but termps have been getting hotter and hotter, and with the humidity the A/C is a must.
Staff was great. Didn't get a chance to eat at the restaurant on premises, but I think it would have been good. Location was amazing, lake view, next to bus/train stations. On top of local tourism office. Excellent. Room was good as well.
