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 StatesOne serious complaint: I booked four nights and was presented the total price. Later, after I booked, I was informed that there was a mistype and that I had not been offered the proper total amount. My opinion is that, once presented with a price, the customer shouldn't have to pay more. The error should have been absorbed by the venue or Booking.com (dependent on who made the error). But, as this was a special occasion, I negotiated. The issue was resolved (not to my liking) by my paying the amount of their error. But I was not required to pay the pet fee for my dog. Ultimately, I still absorbed most of their error. This was my second stay at Griesalp. On the first occasion, I suggested that they provide better chairs or at least a seat cushion for the chairs. In that room, and on this visit, there were only uncomfortable, old, small wooden chairs without cushions. The only other option was to sit on the bed. For the price of this venue, that's not much to ask. The host/manager was very efficient but rather abrupt in our dealings with her.
Absolutely beautiful location in the Swiss alps! Just beyond the hotel there are so many unimaginable hiking opportunities! The hotel is comprised of three primary buildings and all are of the traditional Swiss design. Breakfast (included) is in the main restaurant and is very good but it would be nice to see them change it up a bit each morning. It was the same fare every day. Dinner is good but rather pricey.

Czech RepublicLady at the reception was totally incapable to make check in/check out, we waited long, she was fully incapable to handle more then 2 people with the same info at the same time. Breakfast was supposed to be served at 7.45, still at 8 the lady in the breakfast room was tidying and lightning the candles instead of preparing food. We were in hurry to catch the bus at 8.40 due to this we very super in hurry( together with check out of 10 min even when all was paid via booking)
Nice clean room in one of the small houses ( not the main one), restaurant for dinner ok even when small choice to choose from.

SwitzerlandThey change the menu in the evening, We expected something simple like a Röschti or a Croute after our hike. It was not available for dinner and the staff was not very nice about it. Only "fancy" and expensive dishes available. There's a more relaxed place 15 min walk down the road.
Nice location

United StatesUnfortunately, the computer system crashed immediately prior to our arrival. It was impossible for the manager to place several members of our party for what seemed like a long time.
I enjoyed the quiet setting of the Griesalp! The staff was friendly and helpful! The restaurant and staff were outstanding! The food was delicious! My cabin was small but very clean, modern and comfortable!

United KingdomSmall shower cubicles really for the size of the room, would have been nice to have kettle and hot drinks in the room for a 4 star hotel. I asked to borrow and iron and I was told I can’t have 1 - your a hotel and a 4 star you should provide this - that was really bad. I think Theresa is kind but also a little rude, the welcoming was a little broken, she was on the phone whilst checking me in and never really gave me a good insight into the place, which kind of left me feeling a little lost for the whole stay - but she’s a lovely lady! The drive up to the hotel is a 28% inclination and the hotel needs to state that so if hiring a car you do so appropriately!
Views, private residential area for guests only. Good shower, comfortable beds. Free parking. Good size room.

United StatesThe restaurant is expensive which is okay but if you prefer to dine more affordably, bring your own groceries. Shop before arrival; this property is very remote and the nearest grocery store is quite a drive away. There is a snack bar but it too is expensive and the selection is limited. Suggestion to management - my room was very sparsely furnished; a double bed, two hard wooden chairs, a small round table and a ceiling light. It felt a bit like a cell. At a minimum, please also provide at least one comfortable chair and a bedside lamp for ambiance or evening reading.
Amazing location, beautiful facility and excellent staff, especially the receptionist! The scenery is spectacular and the relaxation and hiking options are wonderful!
