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 reviewThe Vieux Crest was brilliant, we absolutely loved it. The location was perfect, great for skiing and no doubt great for walking. Has to be said the access could be challenging in the winter but nothing that couldn’t be walked or skied. The bedrooms were simple, very functional, clean and warm. We stayed for three nights and explored the mountain on skis in mixed weather but overall had a great time. The Refugio supplied evening meals which were hearty and of a high quality with copious amounts of excellent wine. The breakfast in the accommodation was just what we expected. It was of a good quality and reasonably varied. We asked for bacon and eggs one morning as an alternative and this was no problem. We were never rushed and the staff were always very friendly and helpful.
Nothing
Thank you very much! It was a great pleasure to have such a nice company as our guest!

Verified reviewThe hotel is in a beautiful building in a characterful old village. Our room and bathroom were well equipped and comfortable. We had an excellent evening meal and breakfast in the restaurant. The owner went out of her way to help us transfer our rucksack to the end of our walk at the other end of the Aosta Valley and made all the (complicated) arrangements for us. She could not have been more helpful and I am very grateful for all her kindness.

Verified reviewAmazing location overlooking a valley. The most hospitable staff, we felt like family rather than guests. Nothing like a 5 star hotel in terms of facilities (not expected with a Rifugio of course) but exceptional 5 star food and very reasonable price. Such a warm and cosy environment after a day in the slopes. Didn’t want to leave! We felt so cared for and we could really relax in this beautiful Rifugio run by an equally beautiful family. We will definitely come back. Great find! Also near some awesome skiing, easy to access from the Rifugio.
It is fine for us but I would say if you had serious mobility issues the short walk to the lift is on an incline and could be a bit slippery in winter. But pack good boots and you will be ok! It is also a stunning view across the valley from the path so well worth the effort of walking!

Verified reviewThe hut is located in a great position for hikes/walks with various difficulties. The property delivers great views and an excellent breakfast. The a-la-carte menu for dinner has the right amount of options (not too many, not too few) with locally sourced delicious food. Staff is very attentive, courteous, always with a smile and ready to give you advice for your walks/hikes.
We did not have our own sheet bag so we bought the disposable ones at the property: they do the trick but they are not the most comfortable option.
