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 reviewNice quiet location with excellent public transport connection to Interlaken. Hiking trails are starting literally front of the door, but most of the major locations are within an hour reach. Good breakfast, clean rooms.
The shared fridge is a bit uncomfortable.

Verified reviewHighly highly recommend this property, was definitely one of our favorite stays during our trip to Switzerland. The room was clean and spacious, overlooking the mountains and the water. I absolutely loved hearing the rushing water from my hotel window. Sheets and towels were tidied everyday and a free breakfast was provided in the morning. Great location in Wilderswil that was right by multiple trains and buses, making it extremely easy to travel to Interlaken and other attractions. The town itself was super quaint and everyone was extremely friendly, including the staff. They allowed us to drop off our luggage upon arrival while our room was being prepped and had lots of resources that detailed various activities to do nearby as well. Also a super cute cat that hung out around the property!
Loved everything about this stay! Nothing to note that we didn't like - room was clean and spacious, proper amenities, good breakfast and friendly staff. The views outside our window was stunning and it was extremely close to the trains!

Verified reviewThe breakfast was great and if you had an early morning planned the packed breakfast you could ask for was very generous and delicious! The location was amazing.
It was very hot for August, no fan and no aircon made it very difficult to get a good nights sleep.

The staff were not particularly helpful or friendly. The website said double bed, and what this actually meant was two single bed pushed together with one headboard - not a problem but language was misleading and I was not impressed.

Verified reviewBreakfast was good. Location was good. Close to the train station.
Bathroom shower was not comfortable. Stingy with towels. Stayed four nights and no new towels. They will give you for an extra charge. Cheap bodywash and shampoo provided. Very unprofessional for the price you pay. Nobody is ever at the front counter. Church bells ringing all night at every hour, 15mins, 30, mins, 45 mins and 60 mins. Rooms and bathrooms could use an upgrade.
