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...).

SwitzerlandFor people’s information, it’s not really a backpacker’s hostel. They run language classes all summer long for people of all ages throughout the summer, so it’s full of kids having language lessons and playing. There is a bar though where you can chill over a beer after a hike. My single room came with a private bathroom and a little balcony, which I was grateful for! I wouldn’t have wanted to share a communal bathroom with a load of kids. Perhaps something to check before booking.
The warm welcome from Juliana and Eden, volunteers who will sadly soon be leaving. They will be greatly missed, I’m sure! My room was clean and well appointed and the breakfast was good.

United States of AmericaThe 2 main drawbacks for us were the uncomfortable mattresses and the price.
We liked the location relative to the ski slopes, the proximity to the grocery store, and we appreciated the use of the kitchen, as the restaurant at the hotel was closed and there were very few restaurants open in the village. The breakfast was really good with a lot of variety. The staff was very friendly and helpful.

SwitzerlandThe stocking in the hostel's guest kitchen (Selbstversorger) could be better, but that is more or less all that I would have to critizise.
Nice place, older hotel that became a hostel. Has a cool 70s disco decoration style. I was there in the offseason with almost nobody in the hostel.

SwitzerlandSitting room seemed to be occupied by employees in the evening (not wearing masks although there was a sign at the entrance...). Bed was not very comfortable (old mattress).
Great location, very quiet. All in all, good value for money if you know what to expect at this prize. Breatkfast was allright but nothing special (mostly pre-packaged stuff). The sitting room and shared kitchen looked nice, but we didn't use them.

Switzerlandsome members of the staff, I don’t really know who were they they made me paid 100 CHF because my young dog peed on the rather filthy carpet, but not only, they have actually made me paid for my dog to stay. It seemed they were just pulling cash in whatever way they could. No, not a place I will want to go back. I have found the staff cold and unwelcoming. the Hostel is clean but decrepit, we bang our head onto everything, wall hunting wardrobe of a rather odd design, lamps pending from an already pretty low ceiling, etc, etc.
easy to reach, just outside the station
