How guest reviews work
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 use a weighted review system which means that 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. 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, 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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewThe property is located in the peaceful town just across from Hallstatt — away from the noise and crowds, surrounded by greenery. Getting to the center is very easy, either by bus or boat. We stayed in a ground-floor room and truly enjoyed the garden right outside. The owners are lovely, kind, and very helpful. Breakfast was simple but more than enough. We had a wonderful stay and would definitely choose this place again if we return.

Verified reviewB&B Simmer can be found in a great location, in a quiet, small village of Obertraun however close to lots of charming, historic sites like Hallstatt. The house was very well kept, clean and cozy. The room together with the bathroom were refreshed every day with frequent towel changes as we stayed for a week. The Owners, Heidi and Hubert were very friendly and helpful. They recommended us various places in the region to visit and we explored a part of Salzkammergut with much pleasure. We'll remember their breakfasts made from the heart. I miss Heidi's offering a capuccino and Hubert's omelettes in the morning. It was great to sit on the terrace watching the hills and the gliders.
I can't mention anything here.

Verified reviewWe had a beautiful 3 days here. Our room upstairs with a deck was lovely and quiet with a peaceful view. We slept so well! Heidi and Hubert were so welcoming and helpful. Breakfast time was fantastic. Omelettes, fruit salad, lovely coffee/tea and soooo much more! I also loved saying hello to their beautiful hens who provide the eggs 😊 Swimming in the nearby lake was beautiful and we so enjoyed our morning trip to 5 fingers and going early in the morning on the ferry across to Hallstatt. I wish I had asked about walking to Hallstatt as we saw the pathway when we caught a taxi back to Salzburg airport. I would love to come back and do walking and maybe in the ski season too. Such a welcoming place to stay - thanks again 😊😊

Verified reviewThe rooms were clean, nicely done with cute details. The location was good, both for travel by car or train. But the best thing was the owners themselves: their friendliness made the visit memorable.
The bed was hard, which seems to be typical in Austria.
