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...).

PeruEverything was great! Perhaps the access which is located in a small inner-cut of the facade between to buildings but it isn't really a problem once you find it!
Definitely a place worth staying! A mono-ambient flat with a bed, kitchen, coffee machine, fridge, washing machine in the cellar, etc. located 2 minutes away from the Old-town clock (tourist attraction) and right in the center of the whole city. Bus service to the center and train station is a 3-minute walk from the apartment. It was clean, warm (we went during winter) and the host was very kind not only guiding us through the use of the apartment itself but she also gave us tickets to the bus station for free as added gift! We had to extend our stay one more night and the process was as easy as sending her a message! I will book this one again if we visit Bern next year!

Excellent location truly in ‘heart of Bern’! Valerie was very easy to communicate with, very responsive in lead up to and during stay. Studio apartment thoughtfully supplied with bathroom and kitchen essentials - very handy spices and oil for cooking in the apartment. Clean and comfortable stay.

SwitzerlandThe church bells woke me up on the first day. The second day, we closed the windows, and the problem was solved: the apartment was well-insulated from noise.
The location is excellent, especially for those who enjoy bars and nightlife. The kitchen is well-equipped for those who need/want to prepare meals. It is also close to the train station. We enjoyed our stay.

HungaryAfter mountain tour we were tired and not in ‘pub’ mood every day. With closed window the flat was not noisy (on the street there was big life late night especially because of UEFA EURO 2024), but without fan / climate it was hot.
Accessing of the apartment was very easy. 15 mins walk from train station and we easily found the key from lock box. Property located in a street full with pub and restaurants. It has a very good mood.

ItalyOnly few pictures on the walls of the mini apartment, it looks a little bare. A very negative mark to the Zentrum Paul Klee. Renzo Piano planned this marvellous building, which contains thousands of paintings by one of my favourite artists, but the majority are not on show, only an extremely limited selection. Don't go!
Exactly what was needed by us. The central position made it possible for us to visit the town in comfort, reach the restaurants nearby, of which there is ample choice. Also, we appreciated the kitchenette and the possibility of enjoying our breakfast in full relax

ItalyNothing to complain about. Maybe just as a suggestion, I would recommend the host to have a Schuko plug adapter in the room.
Everything was great, the kitchen was complete and had spices as well so that we didn't have to buy them. Especially in Switzerland this has saved us some money! The place is perfectly located right in the centre and the evenings were always pretty quiet. Don't know if it's a feature of every B&B in Bern but we got a Bern Ticket for our entire stay that allowed us to move freely around the city using public transports :)

CanadaThe bathroom is well equipped but small - it might be something to mention. Getting past the sink and towel racks in the middle of the night could be challenging.
Valeri's info manual is absolutely wonderful. It is such a treat to have immediate access to useful information. The location is truly perfect when the goal is to immerse yourself in Old Town Bern. Trams were close by, an easy walk to the train station. The space is small but Valeri has equipped it with storage for the guest as well as a small but well equipped kitchen. We were very happy to find that the street was quiet and nothing kept us awake after a hard day of exploring.

ThailandWe didn't like the very low bed. It was quite comfortable but just very low. This would probably not be an issue for a young couple but we are much older. The bathroom was also very small and awkward to use the small sink. There is also no lift in the building, which is a disadvantage if one has heavy cases.
It's an apartment, so no breakfast. The location was excellent and the host, Valerie was extremely helpful. The main studio room was very pleasant, light & airy.

United StatesThis was the perfect stay in Bern. The location was ideal, the apartment was exceptionally clean and comfortable. There was also the bonus of several thoughtful amenities like a universal power plug, a welcome Swiss chocolate, coffee and basic toiletries. Every detail was well thought out from the instructions to use the washing machine to recommendations on places to visit in Bern. I would highly recommend the Heart of Bern!
