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.).

Dear Scott, These beautiful words almost make me shy. And that while I still felt a little guilty that the bar was closed. We hope you still enjoyed the extended stay in Grächen. Next year, I expect you again; with wife and child! 😉🤗 Looking forward to you guys already!

Verified reviewLovely no fuss B&B. Starts with super friendly and personal check inn, room was comfy and super clean. Hosts are super sweet and go out of their way to make sure you have all you need. The kids pottering around just adds to the family warmth. Breakfast with fresh rolls and croissants, selection of yogurt and cereal and good coffee. Walking distance from gondola, supermarket and start of most hiking trails so good base to explore the mountain
Dear Pieter, what a nice review! With this good feeling, we close this summer season. We hope to see you again! Many thanks!!! Marco&Sanne

Verified reviewIt was a surprise that the hotel has such a great Mountain View! We like it a lot! And it was also a surprise that the couple owner is from Dutch so we finally find some familiarity where from thousands kilometers away. They are very kind and helpful! In overall, the room is tidy and clean, the bed is very comfortable, the hotel is equipped with an elevator which is not typical to have in such a traditional house.
Nothing to complain except the WiFi signal in our room is a bit shitty, but in the rooms of our other family members are very smooth.
Dear Wu, Thank you so much for your visit! It was an honour to host the whole family. And indeed very coincidental that you are also from Rotterdam. Thank you so much for this lovely review and kind words! We really appreciate it! 🤗 Marco&Sanne

Verified reviewWhat a beautiful location! Off and beaten path, but still close enough to a bigger city. The owners were truly welcoming!
The room was very quaint and truly made us feel like we were in Switzerland. The views were absolutely amazing and the bed was perfect for us.
Dear ladies, How much we enjoyed your presence! The severe weather made you come out to us, an unexpected encounter, but certainly one that will stay with us too! We are very curious to see how the grandchildren receive the Swiss Francs. We hope you were able to intensely enjoy the time together in Switzerland. We hope to welcome you again with the family! Take good care of each other! Love Marco & Sanne

Verified reviewMy friend and I traveled to Switzerland and stayed at Alte Bock. The couple who run the establishment were exceptionally kind and went the extra mile for us.
Dear beautiful ladies, It was a joy to host such bon vivants. You were the first Americans who had never heard of Zermatt but ended up enjoying it immensely. We hope that in the summer you will dare to do it again with us, and then visit our own Glacier and walk back via the Suonen (water pipes) and visit Hohtschuggen. Please do rent a car right from Milan Next time so you can also visit Mattmark Stausee, and other Highlights 😉 we welcome you with open arms! Looking forward to It!

Verified reviewI went to this hotel with a friend for a weekend of ski, and it was awesome. The location is great, right near the center, so everything is close by. The rooms are comfy, making it easy to relax after skiing. The breakfast is really good, lots of tasty stuff to eat before heading out. What made our stay special was the family who runs the hotel. They're super friendly and always ready to help, giving us tips on where to eat and the best spots for skiing. I totally recommend this place. We had a great time and felt right at home.
Dear Sirs, We already miss your presence! We enjoyed your beaming smiles and your contentment. We are glad you experienced the full-Grächen-Experience with the Mascot club and the 40 cm of new snow. We very much look forward to seeing you again! It was also a party for us! Thanks!!!

Verified reviewVery nice property with excellent hosts that make sure your every need is met. Property is located close to the city center with restaurants and a grocery store. The views from our balcony in the front of the hotel were fantastic. Really enjoyed the atmosphere of a small village versus a large city or town. If you want to get away from the multitude of tourists this is the place.

Verified reviewI went to Graechen for an ultramarathon and stayed at Alte Bok the nights before and night after. The bed I slept in the nights before was harder and not as comfortable but the night after the ultramarathon I slept on a lovely softer mattress. The rooms are sparsely furnished but have essentially what you'd need so I have no complaints. The owners are a lovely Dutch couple who've recently taken over. They went out of their way to speak the various languages of the nationalities of the athletes staying and ran their feet off to serve. They even got up super early each morning that week to make early breakfast for the athletes starting their events each day. Honestly, brilliant, friendly service in a perfectly adequate facility!
Room 13 had a harder mattress so the bed wasn't so comfortable but that's my preference.

Verified reviewNew hotel in the area, very nice and great family running it. They warmly welcomed us and happily accommodated everything we asked for (safely storing a bicycle inside, keeping the luggage in the hotel after check-out). I was also taking part in a race that started at 4am in the village, and they left breakfast ready in the kitchen for me to take beforehand. That was very nice of them and made our stay very comfortable and easy. There is a kitchen where clients can have coffee and tea, and a small fridge and sink there. Very useful. I truly recommend the stay at Alte Bock 2.0 and wish the owners a successful business.
Everything was great. Since I need to fill the space here, I would only say that the brötli in the breakfast was too buttery for me and I wished there was normal bread, but really, very nice stay. No complaints.
Dear Carlotta, Thank you for joining us! We enjoyed welcoming you and had a great time with all our guests who participated in the Ultra Tour Monte Rosa! How cool that we could just host you, the winner! Enjoy the time together and we hope to see you again in the future! Marco&Sanne

Verified reviewFriendly staff
I think charging 180 (with Booking discount) or over 200 CHF for such a small and very basic room with a tiny and old bathroom, no TV and where you can hear every step of the guests in the room above you is not justifyable, not fair. We left with a bad aftertaste.
Dear Pius, It's a pity you didn't tell us yourself that you didn't like it. Then maybe we could have worked with you to find a solution to the problem. You booked the very last room, at the last minute, a few hours before your arrival. And this on a weekend when all the hotels in the area were fully booked because of the many events. We work with flexible prices based on supply and demand. Even then, we were the cheapest of all (30 CHF below the other hotels), even though we know we still have to renovate internally. The photos on Booking are exactly how it is in reality, that can't be a surprise, it also says that we don't have a TV in the rooms, but incredibly good WiFi, which our guests really appreciate. We are sorry that you look back with that feeling, that is not what we stand for. For us as a hotelier, and this goes for any hotelier, it is nice to hear complaints during the stay so that the complaint can be resolved to everyone's satisfaction. A negative review after the fact helps neither you nor us, and we regret that.
