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.).

ChinaCan be a bit of hassel to walk there with luggage but that isn't the owner(s)' fault and there is a bus stop nearby if absolutely needed.
It's in a very pretty location surrounded by mountains and small waterfalls. The service is very friendly and the public amneties such as the show and bathroom were kept nice and clean.

UkraineOnly one bad thing that was its noise after 10. It was some people that were running in the hallway and you can hear it all in your room. It was written quietly after 22:00, but not. I think it’s good idea to have someone stay in hostel even during to night in order to avoid the noise.
It was an amazing place. We had room with balcony and view is amazing. Personal is very nice, really care about guests. Check in was very quick, all were ready for us. Rooms are clean and nice. You have sink in rooms, but toilets and bathrooms is shared and clean. Kitchen is good equipped, there is space to seat outside also. They have some games outside. And parking is also nice part of it. Views from this hostel amazing. Can hardly recommend it.

The staff at this hostel made the experience such a memorable one. Johnny working there was extremely friendly and made our stay one of our favourites in Switzerland. The vibe of this hostel is one of a kind and such a nice atmosphere around the place. Not to mention the view from our room was incredible!

The location is excellent, and there are many fun games inside and in the yard. We played a lot of ping pong and tried out the slack line.

United StatesI wish there were more kitchen options - oven, toaster. The bed was not that comfortable.
The staff & owner were friendly & helpful. The showers were amazing - some of the best I ever had. It was nice to have a sink in the roll & I liked that both the bathrooms and showers were gendered. I had a balcony room & the view of the valley & mountains was beautiful. I enjoyed relaxing on the hammock and outdoor seating.

United KingdomThe mattress on our bed was quite uncomfortable, and seemed like it just needed replacing. The pillows were also not great, and it would make a huge difference to just get some new ones.
The best thing was the showers - really powerful and hot water! The hotel is well located with beautiful views of the mountains. The staff were really friendly. Kitchen facilities were great, and the hotel is quiet at night.

CanadaWe really enjoyed our stay. The location is a little further from town (15 walk) so away from the crowds of tourists. The view from the window is amazing and right in front of a waterfall that lights up at night. The hostel has a cool vibe - lots of base jumpers but also lots of solo or couples just travelling. We got there on a Sat night and there was a BBQ. We got to know Johnny who is such a sincere, kind, and cool person who has lived the most interesting life and has the best stories to share. The hostel itself was very clean and it was never too busy in the communal washrooms or kitchen. Overall, you can’t beat the price and location of this place. It was a truly memorable stay.

What a delightful gem hidden in Lauterbrunnen! This hotel may be compact, but it’s packed with everything a traveler could need—cozy rooms, thoughtful amenities, and a warm, welcoming vibe that makes you feel right at home. The real magic? Open your window, and you’re greeted by the thunderous symphony of the village’s iconic waterfalls, a sound so invigorating it feels like nature’s own alarm clock. Waking up to that? Pure bliss. To top it off, the owner is not only incredibly kind—always ready with local tips or a friendly chat—but also has that effortless charm that makes checking in feel like visiting an old friend. And the cherry on top? They happily stored our luggage after checkout, letting us explore carefree. Don’t let the size fool you—this place has heart, location, and all the little touches that turn a stay into a memory. 10/10, would (and will) return in a heartbeat!

United StatesShowers in the lower level of the building require a walk down stairs through public areas.
The outdoor/adventure atmosphere of the property was a welcome change from the usual tourist hotels. This is a no-frills property in one of the most spectacular places I have ever visited-similar in scenic interest to Yosemite park but without some of the crowding. Probably best to visit in a "shoulder season" month and best to visit in a car as you would otherwise need to walk approx 1 km from train station to visit any other town by train. The owner Johnny is very friendly and helpful and does not hesitate to socialize with his guests.
