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 genius loci was amazing. Great views, great location, very friendly owner. We used a fireplace every day, it brought a warmth to our hearts :-).
The sound insulation between appartments could be better, sometimes we heard the people from the apartment upstairs.

Verified reviewPerfect location if you travel by car and your goal is (just like ours) to sightsee Grossglockner pass and its surroundings as well as the highest parts of the Austrian Alps. Spacious, clean and fully equipped apartment, perfect for 2+2 family, very comfortable beds. Amazing view towards picturesque waterfall and the Grossglockner summit. Peaceful and quiet neighborhood (which was one of our priorities). Communicative and helpful hosts. Klaus, once again thank you for all of your recommendations. You really helped us to effectively spend our week in the Austrian Alps. And of course we won't forget extra wood for the fireplace. It was a great addition to the cool May evenings making them much warmer and romantic ;-)

Verified reviewExcellent apartment, comfortable and spacious, good attention to detail, landlord Klaus attentive and has plenty of recommendations for excursions. Welcoming gift appreciated. Views stunning from balcony. Walks with woodland trails possible from the house. Environment locally suits the more adventurous traveller if wanting to maximise the area. The Via ferrata in the valley is fun and the Gamsgrubenweg isa must to appreciate the changes in the environment. If the weather is poor, Lienz is less than an hour away and may have better weather.
The access road although well maintained and generally quiet is narrow and exposed, which may be off putting for those not used to such driving, unlike the locals.
Dear Guest, thank you very much for your good rating. We loved to be your host. In every single point you gave us a full 10, what we appreciate a lot. Regarding the road to our Chalets, for the fact that our Chalets are located at the beautiful and quiet location in the middle of the nature, at a high of 1600 meters, the developed road is very good. It's used daily by the native drivers and of the guests of Oberschachnern. Thank you very much for your stay.

Verified reviewFantastic locality and magnificent view on Grossglockner and surrounding mountains from the room windows. Also charmy housekeeper working in the seccond house nerbay. We also enjoyed a beautiful rest in this apartment with fireplace and smelly wood fire in it.
However we have been informed about extra charges in this accomodation, yet we were surprised about these extra costs for all consumed electricity (this year 0,5 Euro/each kWh) and 2,5 Euro per each basket of wood supply for fireplace as charged by the owner at the end. Dont forget to bring extra cash with you especially for winter time when you need to heat up the rooms, not cheap.
Dear guests, We are pleased that you liked our accommodation and the area. For our stoves, we only use wood from the region that has been seasoned for at least two years, which is good for sustainability. (Co2 neutral) So far, all guests have had no problems with the stoves. The woody warmth of the stove is extremely popular. We can only say about the wood costs that this is only a service fee. In the hardware store, 6 kg of firewood cost 8.99 EU. A basket contains at least twice the amount for 2.50 EU. In addition, the first well-filled basket is free. In addition, each apartment can also be heated with the heater, of course there are corresponding costs, we refer to these in the booking confirmation. Our chalet is built according to the state of the art. (triple windows, insulation) The energy costs have been absolutely manageable so far, due to the known circumstances (war in Ukraine) these have more than doubled in 2023, which we cannot influence. In other European countries, the cost explosion was probably not as high. We try very hard to make our guests feel comfortable, many things such as bed linen, towels, tabs (dishwasher), parking space at the entrance of each apartment, etc. are included in the price. Toboggans, snowshoes, grills, etc. are also available free of charge. We very much regret that our guest had to experience very harsh winter weather with snow and wind during his short stay.
