Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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...).

Single-person room is not big, but comfortable and has everything one needs, incl. a kettle and a hairdrayer. The view from the balcony is impressive, one can sit there and drink a nice cup of coffee from the coffee machine in the lobby. I was travelling with the dog, and she was welcomed for 9 EUR/night. Check-in and check-out process is super easy and stuff was very helpful and solved my requests.

A beautiful property overlooking the village and with a lovely view of the lake and mountains from the balcony. It was a short walk to the bus stop and to the City Express cable car. A short walk into the town centre. The staff were very welcoming and made me a coffee while answering questions about the local area.

United KingdomThe only minor comments myself and husband had was that the pillows were very large (but that's down to personal preference) and we had a slight mishap when the safe wouldn't open with our passports in, fortunately however the lady on reception / owner was there to help and did an override on the safe and the issue was resolved.
Beautiful little guest house with all the facilities you could need and helpful friendly staff. The location was great, in the middle of two chair lifts, and the guest house had a useful boot room for all skiing equipment. Room was lovely and shared bathroom / shower kept in immaculate condition. We will miss our morning coffee on the balcony looking out over the lake!

SpainThe Haffner guesthouse is absolutely stunning! I had the most wonderful experience, I extended my stay here for 9 days. Absolutely loved everything about the accommodation. It exceeded my expectations from the moment I arrived! The comfort of the bedroom with the Mountain View terrace, the attention to detail of the property and hospitality. Such lovely, kind owners. My stay at the Haffer guesthouse in beautiful Zell em See was the highlight of my 3 week holiday in Austria. Thank you so much for having me. I can’t wait to return next winter!!

TaiwanThe room was a bit dusty on the bedside table and around the bed
The hotel gave us a tranquil room, which I requested, and it had a little balcony, it's lovely that you can stay there just listening to the nature of sound, the lobby has sales of water and beer as beverages, a coffee machine, tea, laundry room, actually everything you need. The staff was very nice and gave us some information about the areas. The location was perfect, a walking distance (abt 5 mins) to reach the bus station, we had a great stay in this lovely hotel.

FinlandThe wifi barely reached to our room. It worked fine in the room but as soon as you stepped out onto the balcony, the connection was gone. Adding an extra wifi extender could be an easy fix.
The room was clean and a bit small, but definitely big enough for the two of us. We really liked the location, as the guesthouse is located away from the noisy centre and the nearest road is quiet with relatively little traffic. We didn't take advantage of the breakfast at the nearest hotel, but went to the centre instead, as it's only a short walk away. We rented e-bikes for two days (highly recommended!), so it was great to have a proper bike parking inside the building behind a locked door. There is also power outlets so you can charge your bikes there. We also appreciated the washing machine and tumble dryer. The self-service coffee machine, fridge with wine and soft drinks, and snack cabinet were a nice touch! The staff are only there in the mornings. They were very helpful and friendly. When we checked out they gave us a little jar of homemade apricot jam. Om nom! Overall we really enjoyed our time here!
