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 reviewGreat staff who helped us with walking routes. The place was super clean and the breakfast was all you could need.
Nothing. The bar not being open on a Sunday wasn’t ideal but you know that when booking so can make other plans for the evening
Thank you very much for your kind comment and rating! We are glad you liked our place!

Verified reviewlocation
I don’t know how this hotel gets an 8/10 rating, because my experience was nowhere close. Sure, the location is near the bus stop, breakfast is just okay, and one gentleman on staff was polite. But the rest? A total letdown. Two of the ladies working here were flat-out rude. Ask them a question and you get a nasty look, like you’re a problem for wanting basic answers. Dorm rooms are tiny, cramped, and the decks are ridiculously low. Pillows are terrible you’ll wake up with a stiff neck, guaranteed. Flies everywhere. For a hotel, that’s disgusting. Internet is so slow it’s basically useless. This hotel might fool you with decent reviews, but the reality is very different. The way guests are treated (In my case) here is unacceptable, and the facilities don’t measure up. I would never recommend this place to anyone friends, family, or all followers. Pay a bit more and will get a better service,
Thank you very much for your comment and rating! We are very sorry, you felt that way! By check in you asked for an upgrade to a room with private bathroom, you booked beds in the dorm, as this is completely something else, we do not wonder, you did not like it! Conerning our staff, as we have generally a good feedback about it, we wonder, what happened!?

Verified reviewBreakfast was good, restaurant for dinner as well.
Dorm room in the cellar, very very basic. No privacy, no bed curtains, no bed lamp, the curtains of the windows too small to cover the whole window, no ladder to climb in the bed, shower decent, place to brush teeth has no facilities, it's just a large sink and a mirror. Common room is a small kitchen with 1 table, some old chairs and a microwave. Nothing special, just very very basic.
Thank you for your comment and rating! We are sorry, that you felt that way! Correct, in the dormitories, things are basic! This is why you paid the lowest price in the village for a bed in the dorm..

Verified reviewLocation: we drove here and parking was free which was a bonus and we were blessed to have a large corner room with 2 windows opening to AMAZING views! A quick 5 minute walk down the hill and you’re in the shopping/ restaurant area. Perfect location to start our hikes to Pfingstegg- Baregg, and Bort- First. Even though we didn’t have a private toilet/ shower this was not an issue for us as the shared facilities were only 10 steps away from the room, always clean, always available, and the pressure in the shower was great! Breakfast- a variety of teas, black coffee, orange juice, apple juice. They had a cereal option, yogurt, granola, jams, fresh bread and a toaster, cheeses, spreads and cold meats, boiled eggs. Nothing too fancy but this fuelled us up for the day of hiking. Come the evening you could always use the kettle and microwave to heat up meals from the ‘Coop’ if you were on a budget like us.
Nothing- all very happy with our stay!
Thank you very much for your comment and rating! We are happy, that you were happy!

Verified reviewBeautiful room with everything we needed. Our room had private access to the terrace on the top floor, which had an amazing view of the mountains. The breakfast was also excellent.
The only thing we were disappointed about and didn’t know is the fact that the laundromat is not open on Sundays. Wish we had known this.
Thank you very much for your comment and rating! We are glad you liked our place! Thank you for pointing out, that you did not know, that the laundraomat is not open on Sundays, we will sign it out, for future guests! We are very sorry, for any inconvinience caused!

Verified reviewBreathtaking view from our window and a large outside terrace with tables and chairs just down the hall always open, even for stargazing!Wonderful old hotel with history and charm! Don’t expect luxury accommodations but if you want an authentic Swiss experience away from the touristy center of town this is the place. Short walk or bus ride to town. Delicious breakfast buffet and restaurant on site. Laundry facilities.Stayed 3 nights- not long enough!
Service not too friendly at front desk or in restaurant.
Thank you very much for your nice comment and rating! We are glad you liked your stay here, even though, you found the service at the reception and restaurant unfriendly, we wonder what happened, and we are very sorry for it!

Verified reviewWonderful Stay! Stayed 3 nights at Alpenblick and it was amazing! Staff were friendly, breakfast was tasty, and the views of the Alps in the morning were unforgettable. The location was a bit tricky on the first day as the bus stops around 6:45 pm, so we had to carry our luggage—but it was totally worth it. Highly recommend!

Verified reviewThe hotel is a beautifully maintained traditional Swiss building, full of charm and character. The staff were exceptional throughout our stay—always warm, friendly, and genuinely eager to help. From the moment we checked in, they made us feel welcome and well cared for, going above and beyond to ensure that everything was just right. The buffet breakfast was excellent, offering a wide variety of fresh, high-quality options to suit different tastes. It was the perfect way to start the day Overall, this hotel combines traditional Swiss charm with excellent service, modern comforts, and thoughtful facilities. It is a property we would be delighted to return to and one we can confidently recommend to others.

The location was also fantastic and we got really lucky with our room that had a window leading directly to the back garden overlooking the mountains, which was where we ate dinner every night! Breakfast buffet was really nice as well

Verified reviewThe family room was big with two floors. My kids loved that. The restaurant dinner tasted very well. Front desk lady was very nice. During the busy dinner time, she still stopped and answered me questions. The room service young guy was nice as well. He helped me doing laundry. Another front desk guy with glasses was rude. Didn’t help at all. Besides the room had no AC. Making it hot to sleep in August. And the guy told me the hotel had no fan to lend….
The front desk guy with glasses The location of the hotel was a bit far from town
