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 KingdomWe loved everything.
The welcome from Nicole was brilliant, really attentive and told us everything we needed, also helped us with a Swiss plug adapter! The hotel itself is in a prime position, right on the lake, we were in room 20 and the view from the balcony was amazing. The room itself was modern and of an excellent standard. Beautifully decorated with very tasteful en-suite. There is free parking for guests which made unloading a dream. Breakfast was lovely, a decent selection of breads and cereals with ham and cheese etc. We ate there once and this was also lovely food. This is Switzerland so don’t expect anything to be cheap, but we were happy with the value for money. We could not fault anything.

United KingdomRoom a little dated but I believe they're in the process of being renovated. Waiter at lunch was rather brusque with us and quite rude with other guests. Food at lunch and dinner was mediocre and pricey for an area that is generally expensive. We only ate there the first night and went elsewhere other nights.
The location is stunning. Our room was facing the lake. Room was clean and storage was good. Lovely bathroom. Breakfast was fine, waiting staff at breakfast nice. Waiter who served us our evening meal was nice too. Free parking right outside was great. Iseltwald is stunning, but very quiet - everything seemed to shut at 9pm. However, this suited us as our days were very busy. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and are considering returning next year.

United KingdomSome aspects of the room seemed a little dated, ie the wooden headboard etc. Equally some of the furniture around the hotel ie the old dated piano. Feels like it needs modernising. Restaurant included needs a freshen up. The young waiter during dinner was not very accommodating or pleasant which was disappointing, especially after reading the family details or ethos within the black folder in the room. I hope my comments will be taken as constructive.

United KingdomI called reception at 10pm to request extra pillows as commonly pillows in Switzerland are quite soft. The staff answering the call was a little rude and replied with annoyance that they were closed. It wouldn't hurt to say it politely.
An absolutely stunning location. We had the double room with lake view which had a lovely terrace and beautiful view. The hotel in conveniently located next to the bus and ferry stop. We travelled around Switzerland and this was the highlight of our trip due to the location and views from the room. Worth the price.

SwitzerlandThe hotel staff are generally very polite but a little more attention to friendly customer service from the hotel owner would be welcome. We hope to come back many times as the hotel is truly one of our favourites so we look forward to experiencing another enjoyable and entertaining stay next year
The Strandhotel Restaurant Iseltwald is a charming retreat on the shores of Lake Brienz, offering stunning views and a tranquil atmosphere in the Bernese Oberland . The hotel features a beautiful lakeside terrace where we enjoyed delicious meals with the local lake pike being a highlight amongst the fish dishes. Our room at the top had a gorgeous lake view and a small balcony under the roof The hotel is perfect for a peaceful getaway with its excellent dining and picturesque setting. It was our second stay here and we are already looking forward to coming back again to Iseltwald

LuxembourgBreakfast could be better and coffee did not taste good at all. There is an extra charge if you want cooked eggs or bacon. We've stayed in hundreds of hotels and have never seen this. Mattress was not so comfortable.
Balcony with view of the lake was fantastic. Room was clean and bathroom was modern. Waking up to the breathtaking view and having a drink on the balcony in the evening gave us some unforgettable moments.
