How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewWe had a two bedroom apartment suite with a living/dining room which was very convenient for a family with three young children. It s a newer hotel and the rooms are modern and well designed
The staff was eitehr absengt or unheloful. There was no service at all. When we arrived, no one helped us by escorting us to the room or help us with the large number of luggage we had. We had to go and get a trolley oursleved, load the bags and bring it all to the room. It wasn't an accident beacause when wee left it was the same saga. The only people we saw were at the self service breakfast buffet where only two people. presnegt for a lagre hotel at full capaciy. Not very keen to help either. Because of the satff, I would never stay in that hotel again. This is in sharp contrast with freinds who stayed at the Alpenrose hotel, same 4* rating but wonderful team as well as better location
Dear Mr. De Backer, Thank you for staying with us at FIRSTpeak Zauchensee and for taking the time to share your impressions. We’re pleased to hear that you found the layout and design of your apartment convenient and well-suited for your family. However, we deeply regret that your overall experience was negatively impacted by the service. Please allow us to clarify that we do not typically offer a luggage service as part of our standard offering. That said, all of our team members are trained to assist whenever needed — had you informed us, we would have been happy to help with your luggage. We are truly sorry to hear that you found our staff to be absent or unhelpful. This does not reflect the level of attention we strive to provide, and we will follow up internally to ensure this impression does not repeat. We appreciate your feedback and will use it to further improve our guest experience. Warm regards from Zauchensee, Christoph Steinbacher & the entire team at FIRSTpeak

Verified reviewThe hotel was very clean (smelled lovely!) and the staff were super helpful. The dinner provided was substantial (lots of small courses) and interesting in terms of the menu.
My bedroom looked out onto the wall of the next door hotel which was an unexpected disappointment.
Dear Hannah, Thank you very much for staying with us at FIRSTpeak Zauchensee and for your thoughtful review. We’re glad to hear that you enjoyed the cleanliness, the lovely atmosphere, our attentive staff, and the culinary experience during your stay. Regarding the view from your room — all of our Standard Rooms face the neighboring hotel, and we understand this may come as a surprise to some guests. For future visits, we would be happy to recommend an alternative room category with a more open view to better suit your preferences.

Verified reviewOur stay in the hotel was comfortable and care free. The hotel personnel was friendly, welcoming and willing to accommodate to our request. Great wellness facilities. I appreciated free access to drinking water supply on each floor, and to a private garage. Everything was available in the walking vicinity to the hotel- ski lifts, ski slopes, hiking trails, ski rent. Overall, we had no reason to complain.
Just a small detail, but I was missing a kettle in my room. Perhaps it was available on request, have not checked.

Verified reviewLocation (across the street to a gondola), cleanness, interiors, adult spa area (it was great that there was a separate area for kids), staff wes super kind and helpful. We liked bed decorations for valentines. We liked skiroom with dedicated lockers for each room. Garage was super convenient. If you want to ski after checkout and change before leaving - there are dedicated lockers and bathroom. We really enjoyed stay and definitely we will come back and recommend the hotel to our friends. Thank you!
Some tasting menu options were too fancy for us - we would prefer more standard options, Austrian or seasonal flavors. It would be good to have a kettle and mugs in a room. Rooms are a bit too hot and we slept with open window (what is not eco).

Verified reviewThe food was superior. This is haute-cuisine. It's definitely worth the price but probably too fancy for my children who are more than happy with wiener schnitzel and frites. The buffet is phenomenal and the attention from wait staff was incredible. Every evening mealtime was an event and I enjoyed every mouthful. My children loved the pool and the play room. Thank goodness, too, for the TV which meant my children could happily watch Paw Patrol (German dubbed).
Limited options locally for grabbing food supplies for snacks and quick access to medicines. We needed Ibuprofen/Paracetemol and we could not access this easily without a 70euro trip into the nearest village for the pharmacy. Could there be tea making or coffee making facilities in the room? I would also have liked my drinks to be included in my half-board cost.
Dear Christopher, Thank you very much for your fantastic review! We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed our culinary offerings and that every dinner felt like an event for you. It’s great to know that your children had fun in the pool and playroom – and that Paw Patrol provided some well-earned relaxation time! We appreciate your feedback regarding the availability of snacks and medicine nearby. Unfortunately, due to our remote location, pharmacy access can be challenging, and Austrian regulations do not allow us to provide medication directly to guests. However, we will certainly look into ways to better support our guests in such situations. Your suggestions regarding in-room tea and coffee facilities, as well as drink inclusions in the half-board option, are valuable, and we will take them into consideration. We would love to welcome you and your family back to Zauchensee in the future! Best regards, Christoph Steinbacher & the entire FIRSTpeak team
