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.).

Great for youth groups and energetic oldies - all the facilities you would expect for a 'youth hostel' - very enjoyable.

GermanyCame by bus. There will be a bus back either 5:30pm or 6:30 and then 9:30pm the last one. That doesnt give you much options to go back, that was sad for me. Mattress was bad. Beds next to each other and no privat sphere, as I was the first one in the room the receptionist understood that I was uncomfortable and made a girls room out of it. Wouldnt want to sleep next to a stranger. Depends what you are looking for in a hostel
Tiefenbach in general nice, not too far away from Oberstdorf. Good restaurant next to the hostel, 4 min walk to bus stop. Breakfast was good, even vegan option and lots of things. Clean and big bathroom, looker in room and nice furniture or atmosphere in general. Didnt cook myself but kitchen looked good with lots of equipment

GermanyThe washroom didn't have amenities like hand wash, so it is recommended to bring with yourself. Otherwise you have to buy it from the Hostel. The washroom didn't have the system to lock also from inside.
The location is great with the near vicinity to Breitachklamm, the facility is economically viable, the breakfast is also standard.

GermanyThe road repair is now over. There are many cars and fewer cyclists on the road. The hourly bus at the weidach stop is reliable.
I like the low price and meet people who are interested in nature. This is a good location to start several Wanderungs and sight viewing.

GermanyThe only problem is the bus 44 schedule. Yes the first bus do come at 0726 Uhr to the city. However the next next only comes around 1055 Uhr not in schedule after skipping the 0825 0906 1006 1030 Uhr Bus. This brings un comfort condition if I start to wait my bus since 0900 Uhr. I understand bus 44 has a complex route and the bus company do not want to say they skip three buses in the morning then again 5,6,7 PM bus the only bus come is the last one at 2134 Uhr. I hope the hotel can inform her guest in the right way. We do not mind walking but misinformation is not good from the bus company.
The experience staying at the hostel is good. It is in a good location with lots of hiking opportunities. I enjoyed my stay and meeting people with similar interests. The meals are healthy and the breakfast gives me a good start.
