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 reviewA happy welcoming house with good clean facilities. I would certainly stay again if in the area
At the end of a long days riding, carrying all the motorcycle gear and luggage up the steps was tiring. The grounds are a little unkempt and scruffy looking, but maybe waiting to cut hay?
Hello David Thank you for your positive review. An explanation for you and future guests: About the maintenance of the surroundings: As we live surrounded by mountains, forest and meadows at 1500 metres above sea level, we go with the seasons when it comes to maintaining the surroundings. We let nature, flowers and grasses, children, chickens and butterflies, hedgehogs, deer and rabbits take their course. The sauna barrel, barbecue area and paths will be maintained and, as every year, horses will do the mowing in the forest behind the house :) Since we saw each other at check-in, you could have asked us for help with the luggage. We obviously missed the opportunity to actively offer you our help, for which I apologise. Kind regards, the Michel family Translated with DeepL.com (free version)

Verified reviewClean and big apartment, well furnished with near parking
Small kitchen workbench. Only electronic contact with the owners - this is absolutely fine. However, when I tried to ask a question over the phone, I called twice but received no response or call back.
Hello Ondrej Thank you for your feedback. I just checked my voicemail, but didn't find a message from you. I generally call back as soon as possible. Nor have I seen a message on booking.com. I'm sorry that we couldn't help you with your request, especially as we live in the same house on the top floor and I'm usually even there in person during the day. We hope you still had a pleasant stay. LG, Birgit and Remo

Verified reviewLocation, view of the mountains, and the comfort of the place was great.
I wish it had a washing machine but that’s no biggie
Hi Greg Thanks for your great feedback, we're glad you enjoyed it. There is a laundry room in the basement with two large washing machines and a tumble dryer 😉 which guests can use for a small fee ...

Verified reviewThe scenery surrounding the Lodge is stunning. It's up at the mountain and when u open the window, u can see the scenery of the mountains in front of your eyes.
bear in mind, it's quite far from the shop hence need to prepare the food if you want to stay here.

Verified reviewViews are nice
Property was not at all clean. Flies everywhere within the property, we were scared to open the windows in the property.
Hi PEYANKE from GREAT BRITAIN...We are sorry that you obviously did not enjoy your stay. As an explanation for future guests: We live on the edge of the forest. If you have all the windows open when the light is on, you can get a close-up view of our numerous fauna inside the flat. All in all, thank you for this literally unique review. Best regards, despite a little surprise, the Michel family

Verified reviewThe host Birgit was incredibly helpful on arrival and, especially (!), after we had checked out. We (knuckleheads) forgot our coats in the wardrobe on the morning we left and only realised once we arrived at home. When we told her about it and asked about the possibility of her sending them to us, she did not hesitate and sent them by post as soon as she was able to. Big kudos to Birgit and those that like her are willing to go the extra mile for others.
We are happy to do so, glad you enjoyed it :)
