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 location right by Kandersteg train station with the local coop right opposite. The place was really clean and spacious. Very well equipped if you you want to self cater and are staying longer. Very easy and clear check in process and the host messaged to check everything was ok so I’m sure if there were any issues communication would be great. Shower was really warm and beds comfy. Lounge area with huge sofa, large dining table.
Nothing it was all great.

Verified reviewLocation excellent. Windows worked well. Table and chairs in lounge very comfortable. Coffee pods left - nice. Shutters on window for darkness. Supermarket opposite and also cheese shop. Station very close. Everything in Kandersteg within walking distance. River fast and audible from apartment - nice sound. Parking right outside building. Good restaurants in Kandersteg very close by.
Sven from PN has discussed our feedback and will make sure the small cleanliness issues we had are sorted, the warped floor is sorted out to avoid tripping, hand towel provided in bathroom and clean bath mat provided. He also said he will adjust the check in instructions to be clearer with where mailbox is, how to use key and Wifi code included in these details. Bath little difficult to get in and out of and more furniture in bedrooms would be ideal. Only a rail and one bedside table. Hairdryer needs to be checked too as no heat in it. Overall with these things fixed it was a good little apartment with excellent location. Be aware of 2 flights of stairs when carrying luggage up.

Verified reviewVery spacious and clean. Easy access and checkin. Location is excellent- very close to the train station and a supermarket across the road A well equipped kitchen (even has a fondue set 😁)
A wardrobe and or a chest of drawers would have been useful - we had to live out of our cases. Not a criticism but something to be aware of - big step in and out of the shower (it’s in the bath) - could be awkward for someone with poor mobility. A grab rail would be helpful

Verified reviewAmazing location with an amazing view from the rooms. 2 very close Supermarkets and not too expensive. Everything you need to stay is in the apartment and if something missing the host is taking care right away. Host is extremely friendly, he had communicated with us (over Whatsapp) and answer all our questions.
Located at the second floor with steep stairs, not that easy with suitcases. Floor is noisy near the bedrooms entrance, will be good if it can be repaired. We had some issue with the welcome instruction, pdf file that the host sent was not full, however, all was communicated well with the host

Verified reviewVery central location
The night we were there, there was some kind of party nearby that continued throughout the entire night and we suffered a lot of sleep deprivation the next day. Maybe it was related to the horse festival as I don’t imagine this level of noise would be tolerated regularly by local residents

Verified reviewExcellent location in the little city center. Spacious apartment even for 4 adults.
For this level of price, it wasn’t comfortable enough: lack of lighting in several rooms (either due to broken spots, missing light bulbs or missing lamps), lack of intimacy in the bathroom: glassed door and no intimacy curtain blocking the window, the floor was wobbly, lack of decoration overall and a very tiny bottle for a welcome gift (covering 1 drink when we booked for 4 adults…). No red flag but a mismatch with the price asked.

Verified review- location - spacious flat
- not well equipped for 6 people: only 4 table chairs, not enough dishes, cutlery etc. - once the sofa is used as a guest bed, no space to hang out in the living room - no extra armchairs or bench - nothing to hang clothes at the entrance - too expensive for this standard
