Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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 Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United States of AmericaThat the hotel did not have a voucher for parking. However you can park overnight in the garage (walking distance) for only $60. But it would be nice to advertise that as it did say parking was included when I booked.
Loved the location and the room had a huge balcony! It was a perfect girls getaway for a night!

United States of AmericaThe property/rooms are clean, however very dated. We had a tiny bathroom with a shower that didn’t work very well / very little pressure…bathroom upgrades are overdue! Parking (if you secure a spot) is $70/day.
The location is unbeatable - walk to all the shops/restaurants and the gondola. Breakfast is included, the fresh fruit platter is great and there is plenty. Pepi’s bar is hopping for after ski. Property has onsite parkin (ask in advance).

United States of AmericaCold breakfast was mediocre but filling. I would rather have a hot breakfast with an omelet/hot eggs and some bacon for a cold ski day. Coffee was disgusting and needed to be replaced, but it was still drinkable with lots of milk. The Spa was above mediocre, with a hot jacuzzi, sauna, and steam room. We, as a family, did not like the way you had to pass through the lobby to go to a room after the Spa with our robes and stuff. I wish they had another way of connecting the Spa and rooms. Overall, it was good experience and the perfect location for the price.
The location was perfect, with a 3-minute walk to the Gondola One (Main gondola). The rooms were great, clean, and comfortable. The ski shop below has 40% off if you are renting for more than 3 days and staying at the hotel at the same time, but nobody told us that, and we heard that from someone else by chance and rented from them if we did not we would not have known so I would have preferred they have told us at the check-in. Overall, it was good experience and the perfect location for the price.

MexicoThe mattresses were extremely old. The one closest to the door had a dent that made the bed un-sleepable, my daughter had to use a pillow to balance out the bed. You really need to invest in new mattresses not only for comfort of the guest but for health as well.

United States of AmericaDon't go in thinking 2023 flash and bling - this is possibly the oldest hotel in Vail and parts of it show, but it is wonderfully decorated in a rich bavarian style that says "family" pride lives here. Pepi, the founder, and his wife, Sheika, are Vail legends and celebrities by the score have enjoyed their hospitality. There are some stairs to content with, but pretty much elevator access to all - rooms over the bar/patio can be noisy at night but cuts off in time for a good night's sleep. Breakfast may not be everyone's cup of tea - don't look for waffles, sausage, hash brown or eggs - this is a european-style breakfast with cold cuts, pastry, fruit, cereals, juices - we liked it but some folks wanted the omelet experience and ate elsewhere.
Our 3rd stay. One of the founding hotels in Vail, if not the first. Family-operated and in the very heart of Vail. I consider it ground zero with everything branching from there. It is old European elegance - it's age shows, but decor is unique, very clean, feel like you are checking into an austrian/german hotel. In fact, a guest from Munich said he felt he was at home, Pepi's bar and patio rocks at night, excellent food - the apple struedel is best in Vail. Staff is wonderful - live music on weekends - All the amenities - ski shop, bike rentals - a photographic landmark. Rates are very reasonable - a wonderful grand lady with unmatched Vail history. You can feel the spirit of the Gramshammer family when you walk inside. No chain hotel experience.
