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):
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.
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.).

United KingdomSomeone was up all night moving furniture around above our heads maybe a communal space which was difficult for sleeping. Staff were a little unfriendly and seemed to just want us out the way maybe just not that confident?
Lovely location in the old part of town and a very interesting building. Loved the garden at the back. Bed were comfy and it was very quiet externally once everyone had finished at the bar next door. Very safe for a single mum travelling with child.

AustraliaWe stayed in a room above the staff smoking area, as there is no air con we had to have the window open, we found that we couldn’t keep it open as we were getting all the smoke into our room. As they worked till quite late at night it was constant . This made it quite uncomfortable for us.
I loved the unique experience of staying in a converted prison. It was a convenient location walking distance from train station. Staff were friendly , enjoyed some drinks on the bar down stairs. We caught the Bernina Express from the nearby station . I would definitely recommend.

A brilliantly inventive redesign of a prison into a hostel! So clever! Done with style and humour. Lovely courtyard and garden spaces as well as communal areas and kitchen. Very clean and comfortable. And very friendly and helpful staff. Easy walk from train station and town centre. Fairtrade tea and coffee in kitchen too 🙂

United KingdomWe were very impressed. Good facilities.,amazing views. We had a family room with a double and bunk beds for three nights. Kitchen well stocked so easy to eat in, essential when taking in how expensive it is to eat out in Chur as a family! Staff were very friendly and always willing to help. Highly recommend the onsite bar/restaurant. Great staff and food and we thought best atmosphere in Chur.

United KingdomNothing, a great place to stay.
Very exciting to stay at a unique venue, beautifully converted and with very helpful staff. We loved the 4-person room for our family, spotlessly clean, delicious breakfast in a well-stocked kitchen, delicious coffee, games in the communal room and table tennis in the back yard. I just wished I had booked it earlier rather than peak rates!
