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.).

Breakfast sitting was not the most pleasant, particularly on first morning. Second day, we were sitted in the bistrot area and this was better.

Verified reviewthe view was amazing and bakery shop near location and free parking space, wifi was great.
Breakfast with limited option and same everyday. dining room has no space for everybody so they assign tables by name and even when you come early for a table with good view. with nobody in. you still need to sit at that table. it is far away from the center.

Verified reviewVery clean hotel and clearly being upgraded at the moment. The view from our balcony was beautiful but there was a hotel being built behind us and the noise from 7am was loud and annoying (no fault of our hotel). Parking was ideal and only a short walk to the lakeside was perfect.
For the money we paid I felt that we should have had (or been able to rent) a small fridge for our room. I would also have liked tea/coffee making facilities in the room. The breakfast was delicious but it had no hot food (apart from a temperamental scrambled egg machine that gave you dry scrambled egg), not even a toaster, and I would prefer my bread toasted in the morning. The staff, some of which were lovely but a few that made my stay less enjoyable. There was a member of staff at breakfast that I literally was afraid to ask for help as they done an eye roll every time!

Verified reviewGreat view, although advertised as no lake view, we had some, which was nice.
Breakfast is very poor, no options, little refills, not enough food for so many guests. Reluctance of staff, completely not friendly

Verified reviewI absolutely loved my stay at Hotel Brienz! The atmosphere was peaceful, the views were stunning, and everything about the hotel felt warm and welcoming. The room was clean, comfortable, and well-equipped, and the staff were incredibly kind and helpful. The breakfast was perfect — fresh, delicious, and a lovely way to start the day. I truly wish I could have stayed longer than just one night.
The only small point to note is that it's a little bit far from the train station.

Verified reviewLocation. Small, Botique hotel located slightly away from the main town. Excellent view of the lake, especially from the higher floors.
Breakfast spread can be slightly better. Considering you host so many non European tourists, the breakfast can be slightly better, no complaints though.
