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 reviewVery friendly staff, good location, typical Appenzeller house-low ceilings for my tall husband, simple but good breakfast
Bed was a bit hard but that is very subjective
Dear Guest, Thank you very much for your kind feedback. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed our friendly service, the convenient location, and the charm of our traditional Appenzeller house. It’s great to know you appreciated the breakfast as well. Indeed, our historic building comes with its authentic features, such as slightly lower ceilings in some rooms – part of the local charm, though we understand it can be a little less comfortable for taller guests. Regarding the mattress, we’re sorry it felt a bit firm for your preference. We understand that comfort can be very personal and will certainly take your remark into consideration. We truly appreciate your comments and would be happy to welcome you again in the future. Warm regards, Your team at Hotel am Schönenbühl

Verified reviewBeautiful alpine meadow location. Owners English was limited but he was very attentive and helpful.
The floorboards above our room creaked and were very noisy when guests moved about the room above, which kept us awake at night and woke us up early.
Dear Guest, Thank you very much for your feedback and your kind words about the beautiful location and the attentive service. It seems you may have spoken with one of our team members during your stay – the host does speak English quite well, but we are always happy to support each other to ensure our guests feel well taken care of. Attentiveness and helpfulness are very important to us. As for the creaking floors, you are absolutely right – our house is over 250 years old and built entirely of wood. Unfortunately, it’s part of the charm and character of such a historic building that some sounds carry, especially when guests above are not mindful. We always try to allocate rooms in a way that avoids such disturbances, though it is not always possible. We truly appreciate your feedback and hope to welcome you again in the future. Warm regards, Your team at Hotel am Schönenbühl

Verified reviewThe breakfast buffet was great. It was your typical German-style breakfast with meat, cheese, bread, porridge, oatmeal and yogurt with a variety of toppings. The connecting family room was great for our family of 4 where we shared a bathroom. The windows had screens over them so you could open them if it was warm. The staff was very helpful in confirming our transportation to downtown St Gallen for the soccer match. Overall a great experience and we would come back.
Thank you very much for your wonderful review! We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed our breakfast buffet with its wide variety – we place great importance on fresh and regional products. We’re also glad the family room was a good fit for you and your family, and that you appreciated the little details like the insect screens on the windows. A big thank you as well for your kind words about our team – we’re always happy to help, especially when it comes to special occasions like a football match! It was a pleasure having you with us – and we would be very happy to welcome you again sometime in the future. Warm regards, Your team at Hotel am Schönenbühl

Verified reviewWe had a very enjoyable and relaxing stay at this old-style hotel. It was refreshing to be surrounded by a country environment while still close to town. The host is cheerful and helpful. The surroundings are beautiful.
