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 StatesThis was our favorite place we stayed on our 3 week trip. Everything was so nice. Comfy beds and rooms, beautiful property, wonderful hosts that take good care of you, and a very delicious breakfast, including a variety of local cheeses. 😋 We would love to return one day.

United StatesThe rooms were very comfortable and I was thankful for the tub following a 5 hr hike!
Our host was very accommodating. We arrived after dark and they offered to pick us up at the train station by car. We accepted and we are happy we did. The walk may have been a “little” tricky in the dark, quiet, and peaceful village. When we woke the following morning our views were stunning and the village is beautiful. The walk to the train station is very easy, maybe 15 minutes through the village. We walked to the station when we left, however, our wonder host would have been happy to drive us. Thank you for a wonderful stay in Gais!

PakistanThe rooms could have had better sound proofing!!
A lovely little hotel with the individual character of a family-run operation! Very efficient and professional in the detail, with all modern facilities one expects from a top hotel, without any of the associated negatives! A fairly comprehensive breakfast where the owner took personal interest in your coffee, and brought fresh mint leaves from the garden to make your scrambled egg look prettier!! What more can you ask for?! The owner speaks very good English she had picked up while living in Oxford, and is extremely helpful and cooperative!! Recommend without any hesitation!!

United StatesIt's hard to capture the positive experience in words: but the hotel and the rooms are as clean and quaint as well as they are the quintessential Swiss Chalet type of experience one hopes to obtain on such a trip. The crisp and clean Swiss air combined with the remarkable music of the Swiss Brown cattle bells was a most charming way to greet the morning. It certainly didn't hurt that we had a few gentle thunderstorms to provide a respite from the day as white noise to lull us to sleep. And the breakfast - oh my goodness how delightfully Swiss and wonderfully tasty. The host/owner most visible to us, Abongile, was very communicative before and during the stay, and she was the perfect attendant at breakfast and during our checkout process. I can't recommend this place and the Appenzell region in general enough!

Wonderful hospitality from Abongile who provided all the local knowledge and recommendations. She went above and beyond to help us with a parking ticket as well. Amazing local organic breakfast was provided every morning, with the scrambled eggs in particular a highlight. WiFi was fast!
