Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 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...).

One of the best hotels I’ve ever stayed in! It was sooo luxurious! The views are unreal and it’s by far the best hotel in Hemsedal! The breakfast was lovely, the rooms are nice and the spa is so relaxing after a day skiing, we used it most days on our 1 week holiday! I would 100% recommend this hotel! I would suggest having a car if staying at this hotel though as we ate in the town most nights and I can imagine taxis aren’t cheap!

United States of AmericaFood options were just okay. Also very disappointed that one of the restaurants was closed the entire time we were there. Biggest issue was that we’d never stayed at a ski resort or gone skiing, and the receptionists didn’t really offer any guidance on what to do, even after we told them we were new to all of it. Also would’ve been great if the hotel offered some kind of lessons (maybe through SkiStar?) for beginners even if there is a cost associated.
We LOVED our room! And if we were better at skiing it would have been amazing to try the ski in-out option. We will definitely do it next time!

United KingdomThe mini bar wasn’t stocked, an empty juice bottle was left behind and it was difficult to figure out the heating. The bed (mattress+pillow) wasn’t as comfortable to us, but that is personal preference. No allergens were declared in the breakfast buffet which was a little bit of an issue for me
Amazing location and view, room was as expected and even bigger than it looked on the pictures. Loved the view and bath products. Restaurant was amazing and accommodating to my allergies, the staff was very kind. Breakfast was very nice too

Everything about this hotel was A M A Z I N G. The views, the food, the SPA!!!, the staff. I could never imagine that the quality of everything would’ve been that high. It’s so price worthy & it’s one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever stayed at. I have no words. It’s magical in every way. The view from the restaurant (the view from anywhere in this hotel) was insane. I am definitely coming back! (Also the most comfortable bed EVER!!!!!) can’t recommend this enough 🥹❤️❤️❤️❤️

United States of AmericaAs with many of our hotels, we needed wash cloths, bath floor towels (for safety), and a ledge in the shower to shave and wash feet.
Absolutely gorgeous. As a couple of architects, we were thrilled to stay in this lovely facility. Great views, impressive dining and gathering spaces, attention to design details, and comfortable bedding made our stay perfect.

United States of AmericaI thought the Spa was included in the stay of the hotel. That wasn't very clear on the website. It would have been nice to know.
Amazing breakfast and the spa was spectacular. Rooms were very comfortable with amazing view of the slopes. I stayed there in the summer. Validation for the toll road was easy and loved the option of free parking 200 meters down the road.

LuxembourgEverything was perfectly clean.
The hotel was very clean, the whole day the cleaning staff was in charge. The best thing about the hotel was the view and the location of the hotel. But also the possibility to eat during the day at the hotel was very good. The Spa had a very beautiful view above the mountains and everything you need for a day at the Spa.

United KingdomWhile the staff were friendly, it felt completely disorganised. 1. The hotel feels like a maze to new guests, and while we were given directions to our room when we checked in, being told to take the lift to the basement for the ski lockers wasn't helpful - turns out there are three different lifts in different parts of the building that go to different places - only one goes to the lockers! We spent a lot of time wondering around the hotel on our first day, and there are no maps and very few signs. 2. We were told to book a time slot for the spa to help manage numbers, but weren't told there was a charge and we weren't given directions. Cue another 15 minutes wondering the hotel and an unexpected bill at the end. 3. We ate in the restaurant on two nights - the first was good and the pizzas we ordered were great. The second night was total disarray - the kitchen was short-staffed, which we overheard the waitress tell another table. After an hour's wait we were offered a drink on the house, although without apology or explanation. When food arrived, my caneloni was small and barely warm - I wish I'd ordered a pizza! 4. The ski lift up to the hotel was out of order for the three days we were there. Whilst not the hotel's fault, the lack of clarity around buses (from both the hotel staff and the resort) made getting around really hard. The "not our buses, not our problem" attitude really wore thin - the hotel should do more to make sure its guests are comfortable, especially when that hotel is halfway up a mountain! Overall, we spent a lot of money on this stay and were really looking forward to it. We left feeling disappointed and frustrated.
Absolutely stunning location and a beatiful, stylish hotel. The spa was lovely and the ski lockers some of the nicest I've seen.

United KingdomMy husband and son stayed at this hotel for a week, December 23rd to 29th. The hotel is at the top of the mountain, the view is wonderful, the staff are nice, but house keeping needs to improve a lot, they only make the bed, don't vacuum the floor, don't change towels or replace shampoo, soap, everything you need ask at reception, there was no phone in the room, anything you need you need to go to reception, the breakfast is not very good, but for me the worst part was the hotel restaurant which only had 3 starter options, 3 food option, very disappointing. Our room's bed gave me back pain every day. We will definitely return to Hemsedal because the ski resort is very good, but we will look for another accommodation option.

Switzerland• Hotel was completely understaffed, everything took forever from F&B to Spa. Example to book a massage, the staff advised me to it by myself online (what?). • SPA is not included for hotel guest, again something unseen in the 50+ countries I visited. • There was construction work all over the hotel, despite the hotel still being pretty full. Couldn’t they wait an extra week to start renovation when the season would have been over…? • We arrived at 23pm and couldn’t get any food, not even room service. • Hotel offers no shuttle service (unseen for me in the Alps) and wouldn’t even call taxi for me. Hemsedal is very hard to move around and the hotel is at the top of the village with a bus coming once every 2 hours. When I called to ask for taxi, the staff answer was “we are not a taxi service company, you have to call yourself”. Excuse me? • Rooms are also not as modern as the rest of the hotel, in particular the bathrooms. • Finally the staff doesn’t answer on booking.com, which is never ideal.
Stayed 2 nights end of April and I understand it was the end of the season (staff reminded me that a good 10 times but is it really my problem as a guest…?) but the service of this hotel is simply not on par to the amenities which are first class. Example:
