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 KingdomNone, a perfect stay all in all!
We were upgraded to a Maisonette room which had 2 bathrooms. The amenities at the hotel are superb with a swimming pool, gym, sauna etc. Breakfast included in the stay was really elaborate. Ample parking space and was a little away from the town. Riessersee lake right in front is an added beauty and was a good hiking option. Overall a perfect stay to chill and relax.

SwitzerlandPerhaps if there is something that could be improved is the spa area: - could use some refreshing. - it was quite loud due to children. - While the saunas are excellent, they are separate from the pool/jacuzzi area. Saunas are designated for adults and nude only, while the pool/jacuzzi is for everyone. If you want to use both, this may require changing swimwear frequently, which for us personally was not that comfortable
Perfect escape destination for us. - The hotel is situated in a stunning area, ideal for a leisurely walk around Riessersee. - On-site restaurant boasts an incredible view of the lake (please note: closed on Mondays and Tuesdays). - Excellent staff; very friendly and professional. - Both breakfast and dinner at the restaurants were very satisfying. - Free parking available. - A cozy open space with a chimney creates a pleasant atmosphere for playing board games, billiards, and other activities, or simply enjoying the bar. Perfect for winter or rainy evenings. The room was clean, recently renovated, and comfortable.

GermanyThis is not really something that we did not like, more suggestions for even more excellent job :D - as a dog-parent of the dog with food-allergies, it would be great to write what the snack is made of. As unfortunately, my dog cannot eat some specific things and it turned out that the snack was also not good for her :( - there were many young receptionists working in the hotel, perhaps it was training of some kind. But it slowed down our check-in. And we were quite tired from the road. The girl that checked us in was very friendly, but needed to check several things in the back office and we needed to ask about certain things ourselves (e.g. breakfast times, a ski-room or ski-lifts transport). So perhaps it would be good that there is always somebody more experienced also available at the reception desk.
The hotel exceeded our expectations. We stayed in several places in Alps, but Riessersee Hotel is really a gem for winter holidays. We stayed for a week and booked a half-board (highly recommended!). The meals were very tasty and plenty to choose from even for vegetarians. After skiing or winter hiking you can enjoy their wellness (we especially liked their Finnish sauna). And if you do not have enough movement, there is also a small but good gym. The hotel is also dog-friendly. Our dog had also 2 bowls, a blanket and some snacks prepared in the room upon our arrival. As it is situated by the lake with a stunning view on Zugspitze - every morning we enjoyed wonderful walks around the lake. There were also many small details that we loved, e.g. for example the postcard that you can send for free from the hotel, the morning news, a practical bag for the wellness area or a small snack that we got, when we were leaving the hotel. And all the people working there are so friendly! We will definitely come again.

Luxembourgfor me there isn't enough choice of single malt Scotch whiskey but that's a matter of taste.
The hotel is in a quiet location just above Gramisch-Partenkirschen, making it an excellent starting point for extensive hikes, even or especially in winter. Not very far to Alpspitz Berg or Zugspitze, accessible by train. Especially during the Christmas period, in half board, there was a wonderful celebration and wonderful buffets. The newly renovated wellness area ensured relaxation. Rooms are very nicely furnished, you can find everything you want. Cozy bar for late evenings. Staff very friendly and accommodating, even with special requests.

NetherlandsThe hotel's lakeside restaurant has its own special menu. You can eat and drink something here, paying the fee. We went to this restaurant with my wife. The employee here was rude to us, did not show us a seat, told us to "sit at an empty table" (this was not done to another couple). We were sitting for a while and no one came to our table and gave us a menu. While we were waiting for the waiter at the restaurant, a customer's dog came to our table, my wife took her coat and left the restaurant. (We have been married for 17 years. My wife is afraid of dogs. In these cases, we do not leave the restaurant, we tell the waiter and change our table.) We did not go to this restaurant again. Our 9-day holiday at the hotel, other than this incident, was very nice and we enjoyed it.
The rooms (I booked rooms) were clean and comfortable. The hotel is quiet, clean and things are run very well. The employees in the building where our rooms are located are friendly and warm. 😀

United StatesThe only negative thing we didn’t like was the strong smell in the room . We weren’t sure if housekeeping sprayed something but it was a very strong cologne/ perfume smell . So strong that gave me a headache and light nausea. We left the balcony door open and left the room for couple of hours but the smell didn’t go away . After reaching out to the front desk , one of the staff came to our room and confirmed the smell isn’t from housekeeping but definitely from the previous guest . Nothing was offered as a compensation or a room move
The hotel and area is beautiful. Is located in the mountains, surrounded by nature and a beautiful lake . The hotel offers parking. You can take a path to downtown that goes downhill, walking distance is probably 20-30min. The property has two restaurants. One offers a breakfast and dinner buffet. The restaurant on lake side offers lunch and dinner . The room was nice and clean. Staff was very friendly and amazing!!
