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.).

RomaniaThe staff is terrible. They present everything to you like a memorized poem. Any extra question bothers them and they don't know how to give any further indication than what they have to say. Extra fee (not communicated from the beginning) for car parking (although there are not enough parking spaces), fee for renting towels, you have to collect the linen from the bed yourself and take it to the laundry (when you check out).
Location is good, near the river, very close to the city center but also in a silent area.

AustraliaThis is basically a campsite which we didn’t know. The bathroom and toilets are shared with everyone else, including people staying in tents and campers so it gets busy! The cabins get pretty hot during summer, and there’s no aircon, only a noisy fan. We had to keep our window open at all times which is fine except for a noise family parked right outside of our window. What got us is that towels are not supplied and you have to rent them for 4 euro each from the reception which is only open for a few hours a day, so bring your own including shampoo, shower gel etc. Nothing is supplied. The shalet/cabins are really tight and all you get is a bed, fan and mirror. That’s it. If you’ve got two big suitcases, you won’t be able to move around at all.
Location is great! Short walk to the train station and the centre. Although there isn’t a direct pedestrian bridge across the river, it only takes 10 minutes to walk around the main road. There’s only a foot path by the river. The property is right by the river which is great for swimming during hot summer months. Late check in was hassle free and the property allows you to store your luggage in their living room which is a common area with some books and TV which we did and it was fine for a whole day. The cabin was comfy and big enough for two people but anymore than that wouldn’t work - it’s TIGHT. Cabins do have a power socket though and even USB ports for charging in case you forget your adapter which is a nice touch.

United KingdomOne bulb in a light over the table in the lounge had gone, so it was dark when playing cards. I think the staff do a good job at trying to keep the place tidy, but the shower block was looking a bit tired, and there was always hair all over the sinks and around the wooden basin area. Perhaps a sign to remind people to clean up after themselves? I'm not sure if there's a place to wash clothes, but if there is, it needs to be sign-posted more clearly. I do think the sinks in a communal shower area should be used for washing faces, not clothes.
The kitchen looked great! We didn't need to use it, but we could see it was well-equipped, and we did use the fridge. We were also able to hire bikes from the property.

United KingdomYou could hear the noise of the hand dryer through the night when people used the bathroom - maybe provide paper towels. The decking boards were loose so they were noisy around the bedroom area so made a loud noise when walking on (especially in the night)
It offers good accommodation in a fantastic location. The shared facilities were always clean, the staff were helpful and kind.

New ZealandSome of the other guests. People in the rooms surrounding us were super loud after 10:30pm and aswell early in the morning. This made it really hard to get to sleep, especially when we were trying to be quiet for those around us at these times.
The location was amazing. It felt super quiet and secluded especially compared to the main part of Interlaken.

PhilippinesThe floors around the rooms are creaking so it was noisy to walk around; the walls between rooms were thin too, you could hear the conversations of other people. You need to walk for about 10-15 minutes to get to the terminal since it's across the river but doesn't have a direct access so you have to walk around it, making it hard to get around especially with luggages.
It has a great view of the lake. The common kitchen was huge and complete and this was where we mostly ate since it was expensive to eat outside :D They also have a self-service laundromat which turned out to be cheap! It was a good decision to do our laundry here.

United KingdomIt was just unfortunate timing I think, however there was a school trip and most nights the kids were running around the complex until about 11/11:30, swearing, shouting, playing loud music and no one seemed to stop them. Unfortunately the reception closes at 6pm, so they probably weren’t aware.
We stayed in the bungalow and it was really cosy! We also had our own private area which was great. Only a 10 min walk from the train station too.
