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 StatesBreakfast options were not particularly impressive. Room key was attached to a super heavy piece of metal that was annoying to carry around. No protected luggage area - anyone could grab your stuff. Expensive for what it is, but I think that's all of Grindelwald.
Really nice people at reception, the owners I'm assuming. Comfortable bed. Nice view of the mountains off our balcony. It was helpful that you could buy tickets for local activities at the hotel front desk. Good sized bathroom with towels provided. Short walk to town to find restaurants/things to do. Has a rustic-cabin feel that's classic Swiss Alps.

United StatesOur stay was wonderful. The property is gorgeous, our room was clean, the balcony was amazing, the location is perfect to explore all of the town. I had my golden retriever with me, and she was welcomed into the hotel like family. The breakfast offering was delicious and plentiful and the staff as a whole was so kind and welcoming. We ended up having to cut our stay short due to a family emergency, but I would absolutely stay here again!!

The host was great. I loved the ‘Contact the Property’ message feature and used it several times to keep the communication about my travel situation and arrival timing.

United StatesNothing. The experience so far exceeded our expectations that there are no complaints. We celebrated our 65th wedding anniversary here. The owners and staff made us feel like honored guests- an unforgettable experience!
The room was large, tastefully decorated, exceptionally well-lighted and comfortable. Breakfast and dinner a pleasure with the attentive staff and great food. The view from our terrace was totally awesome.

AustraliaNothing to dislike. It was perfect.
This incredible hotel has the most extraordinary views imaginable. The couple who run it are amazingly kind, friendly and informative. The room was spacious, clean and comfortable with a huge bed. Best of all was the balcony looking directly out on the enormous alps. Incredible. Highly recommend this great place.

ChinaLove this place so much! The rooms are extra large and special, and the mountains are just outside the balcony! The view is picturesque. The house is over 120 years old and it was a pleasure to stay here, Gery and michel were exceptionally nice! The hotel breakfast was rich and delicious, and you can also buy tickets for excursions to the Jungfrau directly here. Thanks also to Gery for driving to the train station to pick us up. All in all, fell in love with Grindelwald because of this hotel!

United StatesLoved our balcony, we had such a great view of the mountains. The room was small considering the price, but the view totally made up for it. The bathrooms are nice and updated, breakfast is superb. Great location in Grindelwald as its not a far walk from the First gondola or the train station but far enough away from the busier part of the town.

United KingdomA lovely family run authentic hotel, full of charm and history. We felt welcomed straight away, our room had wonderful wooden alpine architecture with a balcony view of the mountains. Plenty of storage for cloths and a huge comfortable bed. Although we booked for B&B, we found the daily dinner menu so good and reasonably priced that we ate at the hotel every night, although our decision was influenced by the tendency for rain to occur during the evenings. Good fortune, as we had five days walking without any rain. Young and old, we are both approaching 75, were at the hotel and it was a convivial place to dine, with much chatter between quests. All the staff were lovely, but we would like to mention Rossi and Joseph for their attentive care and send them our best wishes. We highly recommend Hotel Gletschergarten.

LatviaAmazing place to stay in Grindelwald. Family owned and run hotel, very authentic exterior and interior. Location is brilliant in a short distance from crowds, at the same time being on the main street. It can’t get enough of the spectacular view to the mountains while enjoying glass of wine on a balcony.

United StatesIf there was only one thing I would recommend would be a second pillow or thicker pillows. This is purely a personal preference. Otherwise I slept comfortably each night.
Beautiful, classic property with wonderful hospitality and accommodations. Great 5 course dinner served that made one feel you stepped back in time. Bus stop literally steps away and near all attractions and train station.
