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.).

SwitzerlandThe hotel is easily accessible and close to the train station, while being very quiet over night. Our room was more like a 2-bedroom apartment, more than enough space for 5 people and definitely worth a long stay. We'll definitely consider to stay here again if travelling again in the area.

United KingdomWe were very grateful for the help Kumar has done for us, we did not find many faults for this place.
I have to highlight the kindness from Kumar, the staff late night who stayed for us till very late to check in, as we were stuck up the mountains by car. He guided us directions on the phone and helped us reach to the hotel. Not many hotels were available for a decent price and Das Sherlock Holmes made us feel at ease. Location was excellent and truly grateful for the late night staff. Thank you kindly.

United StatesThe bathroom drain did not work well, water would sit for a while before completely draining. The hotel was not worth the price whatsoever with a small room and location being in the middle of a small Swiss village as for the same price you could stay in Grindelwald or Lauterbrunnen areas. The biggest issue I have is the hotel was not worth the price they charged. If it was half of the price, it would have been fine.
Location and views. Although no air conditioning, they provided a fan that helped during the day time.

United StatesNothing. I'd stay here again if I’m lucky enough to return.
Wonderful location near town but quieter with great mountain views and a nearby stream with a walking path. Close to everything in town but slightly apart with a more residential setting. I loved the sound of running water with the windows open, otherwise, the soundproofing worked well. Helpful staff and facilities as advertised. The elevator and parking worked well for my stay.

United KingdomLocation is perfect for setting off to do the passes. Hotel is located very close to town high street, restaurants, bars, supermarket, shops, etc. Small underground car park for added security if you are on a motorcycle but safe enough to leave them parked by the Terrase at the front of the hotel. Friendly and helpful owner and staff. Fan provided in the room. Breakfast is simple but adequate selection/choices and decent coffee machine.

United KingdomDue to a location of our room, we had outside car park just under the windows, which meant quite lot of noise. Also, the room was quite pricey considering the other hotels we stayed at during out trip & the options it offered.
Very friendly and helpful staff providing us with lot of local knowledge and recommendations around late dinner places. The room size and bathroom were good, hotel nicely decorated in the Sherlock Holmes theme. Breakfast was good with lot of options. Underground parking was also nice feature for our motorbike. We appreciate the walking distance to the city centre from the hotel.
