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):
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 StatesOur stay at Adler Hotel was one we will always remember! The location was fantastic and the building itself has so much history and charm. On top of all of that, Matthias at the front desk was so incredibly helpful and kind to us. He gave us fantastic recommendations for hiking, helped us with dinner reservations, and went above and beyond to ensure we had a fantastic time in Appenzell. When we find ourselves back in Switzerland, we will absolutely be coming back to the Adler.

My brother and I had a fantastic stay at the Adler Hotel and we loved every minute. Super clean, hospitable and enjoyable. The team, including the warm cafe staff, made us welcome from the moment we arrived. A special thanks to Matjaz - an incredible host who really went the extra mile to make our stay so memorable. We really appreciated your excellent local insights and tips to make the very most of our time. 10/10 - we look forward to seeing you again!

Lovely old hotel, but with modernised rooms. We arrived quite late, and they left our room key with a hand written personal post card.

IndiaWe loved everything about our stay. The suite that we lived in was very large, enough for the 3 of us. It had a piano that my son enjoyed playing as well. The family owners and staff were the most hospitable, ensuring that we had a very memorable experience. We were also provided with a portable air conditioner in case it got warmer. We had stayed 3 nights, so enjoyed a special tourist card with free transport, cable car rides, cheese factory entry, and many discounts. We also were given free transport from the airport to the town.

United KingdomThe service was brilliant, everyone was very kind and welcoming. Our bedroom had the most comfortable bed and the shower in the bathroom was very powerful. The room was cleaned to a very high standard and the toiletries were really lovely. Our bedroom looked out over the restaurant and we left our window open during the night to hear the water flowing I'm the river opposite. Appenzell itself is so pretty and everyone is very proud both of the hotel and the local area. Breakfast was also delicious. We would come back Thank you so much for looking after us

United StatesOur room had three, double windows with a beautiful view and a fan was already in the room. The temps are cooler in Appenzell also, so it was the best night’s sleep in a 3 week trip. We could see the sun rise from our bed as well. Very convenient to the Ebenalp hiking area, which was beautiful. The breakfast was good as well.

United StatesMatjaz, one of the sons of the hotel owner is one of the kindest, most welcoming people I have met in Switzerland. He went out of his way to be sure that my stay was comfortable, and when I could not find a rental bike, he was kind enough to lend me his own personal ebike. he made sure that I had sunscreen and a pool towel when I decided to go to the Appenzell freiswimbad! I hesitate to mention all of this because I’m sure that he could not offer such consideration to every one of his guests, but I will say that you meet the very kindest of Swiss people in Appenzell. For these and other reasons, I would certainly make Appenzell a-must go destination on my Switzerland list!

United StatesThe owner Matjaz was so nice and helpful. He even made us a special fondue dinner even though it was closed for the season. It was very hot in Appenzell and he set up a fan prior to our arrival. We stayed in one of the suites which was large and charmingly decorated. The restaurant downstairs was very good. I highly recommend staying in this hotel
