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 KingdomAll good. No complaints at all.
A solid no frills hotel. Lovely and clean. We had dinner and would recommend you do. The local dumplings were delicious. We payed extra for a room with a view, loved hearing the river outside and waking up to the view of the river and mountains in the morning.

This accommodation was perfect for a two night layover on a long bicycle trip. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The room was exceptionally comfortable and quiet, and the restaurant excellent. I would not hesitate to stay here again, or recommend to friends and family.

SwitzerlandThe breakfast choice was rather disappointing.
The family rooms were comfortable. We loved the sound of the river while we slept. The receptionist was exceptionally helpful and friendly, and kindly made the extra effort to speak in English for us which was much appreciated. We had a wonderful meal at the restaurant; one of the best schnitzel we have ever had! Perfect after a day’s skiing.

SwitzerlandThe hotel is located confidently right next to a Main Street, which can have some motor traffic going by. It ended up being a bit further from our ski location but still well located.
Very friendly and helpful staff, anytime we had a request or question they assisted with a positive attitude. The facilities were also very nice, and well kept up. We had a view of the river located right next to the hotel and it was really nice view. The kitchen provided a extensive breakfast and a good option for dinner that left us satisfied. Great option for a good price.

United KingdomEvery time you opened the shower door it formed a puddle on the floor (had to keep mopping it up!) The hotel asked you not to open the windows for more than 3 minutes at a time (may have been something to do with it being on the river???) but the rooms got quite hot and there was no aircon!
The food at the hotel was lovely, dinner was three courses and there was a buffet breakfast. The bedrooms were nicely decorated, bright, and clean with all of the facilities required including a TV and a hairdryer. The staff/reception was helpful and friendly.

GermanyFor us that was not a problem, but for people who are sensitive to uniform noise it might be - the hotel is just next to a mountain river which is quite loud. At the same time the hotel is quite big, so, should the river noise bother you, I'm sure you can ask during the booking for a room which is farther away from the river / doesn't have windows facing it. The breakfast could be more varied, especially when it comes to fresh fruits. But overall, we had a great experience, and I certainly can recommend the hotel to others and will definitely consider choosing it again once I'm back in Graubünden.
Welcoming hosts. The room was very spacious, clean, and modern, including bathroom, and furnished / arranged in some very stylish way, truly delightful. Very close to Tiefencastel railroad station (5-10 minutes on foot, depending on your pace), where you can take Bernina Express or another train to enjoy the Albula railroad line (and beyond). The property has its own restaurant, and as a guest, you're offered to book a table there. The food and wine in the restaurant were very tasty.

SwitzerlandVery quiet little village, nothing to do there. You can have a drink at the hotel but must take the car to go to a bar or to any restaurant.
Very cozy hotel and the owner was extremely kind. Very clean and comfortable. Village in between great ski resorts (10-15’ drive).

SwitzerlandIf you have any problems sleeping at night, please make sure you have ear plugs! I had read the reviews before booking and came prepared. The river below is fast and loud! Breakfast was very basic (in my opinion). We were hoping for something warm (bacon, sausages, toast), but only a continental buffet and boiled eggs (If it said when booking, I didn't notice). Would also have been nice to be even offered a banana or apple, but settled with the chopped fruit salad. Windows in the room opened fully (in a door like fashion). Again, not something for the faint hearted and best to keep small children out of the way.
Location is was great and is close to the railway station. By car, it is approximately 10 minutes from Savognin and 50 minutes from St Moritz - we skied in both places. We had the family room with mezzanine which had lots of space for 2 adults and 2 children. Bannister/balcony railing on the mezzanine level is a little low for my liking, especially for younger children. The room is basic, but is perfectly comfortable and most importantly, clean. Yes, it could do with a little modernisation, but for the price, it's fine. Dinner was very good - waiting staff were very attentive and also patient with the children. They also accommodated special dietary needs without much prior notice (because we forgot to notify them in advance). Nice little selection of games and books for the children to use.
