Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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...).

Very cozy Swiss hotel, with wooden interior. Very friendly staff. Clean and conveniently located for hiking near Arolla. Shared showers and toilets were good and clean.

Place was gorgeous. Located in between to mountains with numerous amounts of views to see. Lots of hiking trails nearby aswell.

FranceThe room was very small so my boyfriend had to open his luggage on his bed We asked for a double room and we had two single beds. Be careful, the check-in is only until 6pm or you have to tell them. They didn’t gave us any information about the facilities so maybe we missed some. I think the staff didn’t appreciate we arrived at 9pm instead of 6pm even though we called at 7pm because we realised our mistake
Perfect spot for a long walk to the blue lake and free parking. Good place to stay one night.

United KingdomNothing. There's a line outside to hang rainsodden clothes. I found a line inside the building next to the showers so everything dried. Big relief.
It was so warm on the balcony, after col de fenetre it was glorious to have a view and a balcony. Dormitory rooms can be awful, we had heard that any dorm mattress might have fleas. We didn't see any.. Beds were clean & smelled fresh. Shower was great, dinner was tasty. Breakfast was plentyful. It was a great stay.

IrelandThe rooms had mezzanine accommodation with roofline too low for adults. The owners told us that the booking.com fee did not cover their costs so there was a difficult atmosphere which was resolved after some discussion.
Good locatiion not far off the trail we were walking. Lovely setting in rural switzerland. Food was very good but Swiss expensive

United KingdomBreakfast should be included considering the price. Restaurant was fine, pizza very good, but prices seemed inflated. Staff were perfectly nice albeit distant and not overly interested. I felt like an unwelcome pest, rather than a guest. It was all fine and functional, just a bit of a weird vibe going on with the staff and oddly business like and transactional. Least favourite place during the trip.
Unique building with bags of character. Short uphill walk to Arolla (get off at La Monta if taking the bus) Peaceful, with nice gardens and surroundings. The room itself was quiet and clean. Hot showers were welcome!

United StatesIt’s a strange building. The floors are slanted. It is quite expensive for sharing a bathroom with the hall. The housekeeper tried to get us out way before checkout so she could do the laundry.
The breakfast was good. The room is very small and basic but clean.

United KingdomThe room was very cramped. I would have preferred a private bathroom but I did know before arriving that facilities were shared.
It was a little out of town, fortunately I was able to get a lift there otherwise a taxi would have been necessary. I really enjoyed the salad for dinner and the atmosphere in the restaurant was friendly. There was real historic feel about the place. I enjoyed the breakfast - basic but did the job.

SingaporeWe got lost looking for the property by following the Google map gps. It brought us further in towards a campsite instead. Just try to remember how it looks like in the photo and you will see it along the route. It’s the only property on this street actually.
Quiet place with very enthusiastic and polite staffs. Not all of them speak English but they try their best to answer our queries. We had the cheese fondue with tomatoes - something unique to the Valais canton - for dinner (strongly recommended by the staff) and it was just fantastic. The dessert was apricot sorbet with apricot liquor, both produced locally, the combination was just perfect. It’s a good place right in the alps with no other disturbance from the surroundings. Very peaceful environment, and near to various hiking trails. There’s towel provided, hot water shower, comfortable beds. It’s an old property but very well maintained, and very clean.
