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.).

MalaysiaDebrah owner is super thoughtful, supportive and extremely helpful. She is sincere in caring for my stay, genuinely recommends me of places and activities to go depending on weather. Location is superb for people who value calmness and less touristy places like me. I stayed during the last week of January and it was the most silence I can find in my life. The silence is amazing, you can hear birds chirping, river flowing, wind howling and the bell from church makes the whole tiny town super interesting. I love it.

AustraliaNo proper kitchen provided, only a microwave and some plates and plastic cutlery. I felt like this could have been better. There was a little common area next to the bar but would be nice if it had a few more things to encourage people to chill out there like some books or a guitar ect
Great vibe at the place and met lots of other likeminded travellers, and teamed up for hiking and adventures. Staff were friendly and great, and beds and rooms were beautiful/comfortable! Overall a fantastic place!

Great hotel. They say there's no quite rooms, but there was no noise during our stay and at around 10 pm the majority of people is already in their rooms. There are common areas to use, including the kitchen, showers, WCs ans laundry room

This was an incredible experience and stay. This hostel is in a perfect location just walking distance from the train station and bus stop. Not to mention “where it’s located” in Beautiful Lauterbrunnen! Debrah (the owner) felt like a mom away from home, making sure I had everything I needed including plans or itineraries for the day. Her wealth of knowledge of Lauterbrunnen and the surrounding areas turned a good trip into a great one. The room (single twin room) was spacious and more than comfortable. With showers and facilities just a few steps down the hall. The location had new/ plenty washers and dryers. The bathrooms and rooms were kept very clean. The bar down stairs was full of character and a nice place to end the night . The bartender GiGi was the highlight of my nights in Lauterbrunnen, she was kind, attentive, and full of stories and jokes. I got to meet the receptionist Fernando before my departure and he was a really nice guy with good energy. Ultimately staying here might have been the highlight of my Europe trip this year . I highly recommend staying here and taking the time to get to know the staff, they made my whole experience and trip one to remember !

Amazing location with views of the valley and waterfalls. Kitchen was super handy for cooking and meeting other travellers! Bathrooms were clean and spacious and well maintained. All the staff were so friendly and ready to accommodate us/give us recommendations and suggestions for our trip. Rooms were comfortable and the dorms divided up so you felt like you were only in a room with a few people. Nice for some privacy. Would definitely come again!

AustraliaBarely any powerpoints, running extension leads to each bed in the dorm would make such a difference. Door to the dorm was kept open & unlocked, honestly anyone could’ve walked in.
Location was excellent. Being right by the bus stop was perfect to quickly get to the main part of town.
