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 reviewRooms were clean, nice view of the Matterhorn (though there is currently a yellow crane partially blocking the view). Direct access to town via the Schönegg tunnel.
The continental breakfast was monotonous. Staff seemed tolerant of us, instead of welcoming. We wish we’d been informed of the free shuttle to and from town prior to our arrival

Verified reviewFree E taxi ride from train station to hotel . Shortcut lift access from hotel to the Main Street. Barman and driver were friendly.
Hotel was very basic 3 star and very dated. Room was cramped. Matterhorn Mountain View room was blocked by construction Crain. Reception staff was ok and you have to pay for each extra bits like coffee/tea as there is no refill after the first day. The welcome drink is water in the room, don’t expect anything fancy. Breakfast was basic bread and eggs
Dear Guest, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. Our hotel was built in 1972 and offers a variety of room types in different sizes. We kindly recommend checking the room size at the time of booking to ensure it meets your expectations. As a 3-star hotel, we do not provide daily replenishment of coffee and tea supplies. However, additional coffee capsules and tea bags are always available upon request at a small charge of CHF 1.00. We would also like to highlight that our breakfast buffet offers a rich selection, including a wide variety of fresh breads and other options. For a better impression, we invite you to take a look at the photos of our breakfast buffet. We appreciate your comments and hope to welcome you again in the future. Best regards, Hotel Alpenroyal Team

Verified reviewView was wonderful, even though there is currently a crane nearby that blocks a portion. Shortcut tunnel is delightful, one of my favorite things about the experience. Little hotel bus the drove us to train station was wonderful. Balcony was wonderful, so pleasant and peaceful out there.
Pillows could have been better. Be sure to use a taxi or hotel bus to get there with your luggage. It isn't a walk you want to do with luggage, but once you check in and get shortcut tunnel access card, all is good.

Verified reviewI almost overslept and missed my train. The morning manager saved my life. He knocked on my door and personally drove me to the train station just in time. I can’t thank him enough. All of the staff were wonderful, including the front desk, receptionist, but the manager who took me to the train saved my trip. I am eternally grateful.
everything was perfect. The bartender deserve special praise also. She was extremely nice.
