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 reviewAmazing views and comfortable bed! Cooking facilities really handy to have.
Our balcony/room was accessible from the outside which was a bit strange! The lounge area was nice but it would have been good to have those options in the room itself.
Good evening, dear Madam, Thank you for your review. We are happy that you appreciated the view of the Eiger and the comfortable bed. On the other hand, we are sorry that you were not completely satisfied with the room. As for the balcony, we will be working on improvements to enhance privacy in the coming months. Regarding the lounge area inside the room, it is available when booking larger rooms such as the Deluxe or the two apartments—it simply depends booking the category that suites your needs. Thank you very much, and we look forward to welcoming you again in the future. Best regards, Juri Pelizzoni Hotel Manager

Verified reviewThe hotel has a really nice view with seating in front of it, which was really nice! The rooms are cozy and clean. Like the fact that you can use the kitchen, which is great for preparing your lunch for the hikes!
its bit of a hike, but there is a bus going up there so not an issue.

Verified reviewLocation was tough
walking up the hill
Dear guest, Our property is located on a beautiful hillside, about 10 minutes from the center of Grindelwald. We clearly mention this in our description because the location is one of our greatest strengths: here, you can enjoy peace, tranquility, nature, and an unbeatable view of the village and surrounding mountains. Guests choose to stay with us for exactly that reason – to escape the bustle of the center, while still being just a short distance from all conveniences like the train station, shops, and restaurants. We fully understand that every guest has different needs, and not everyone values the same things. However, it's difficult for us to understand complaints about the location when it is clearly stated before booking. Our philosophy is simple: everyone chooses based on what they are looking for. And we are happy to welcome those who seek a stay surrounded by nature, with a unique view and the right distance from the busy town center. Thank you for your attention and warm greetings from our Lodge.

Verified reviewIt’s good location and very comfortable
The bed sheet wasn’t clean, we found blood on the quilt cover, we had to ask staff to change it. Besides the cleanness, the staff was nice
Good evening, Thank you for your review. We would like to point out that cleanliness is one of the main strengths of our property. Every day, after the rooms are cleaned, management personally carries out a thorough inspection of each one. We can assure you that there were no traces of blood in the room prior to your arrival. We also rely on an external laundry service that provides us with clean linens three times a week (on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays), ensuring high hygiene standards. In any case, the sheets were replaced the following morning after your report. We’re nonetheless pleased that you appreciated the property, as shown by your request to extend your stay. We’re sorry that the price offered was not to your liking. Best regards, Juri Pelizzoni Hotel Manager

Verified reviewVery steep road!!, hard to get to
Good morning, thank you for your review. In the description of our hotel, it is clearly stated that we are located on a hill, about a 10–15 minute walk from the city center. We always recommend arriving either by car, taxi, or bus number 122, and definitely not on foot. Our location allows us to be surrounded by nature, in an oasis of peace and tranquility. Of course, there are several hotels in the city center, which are certainly more central than we are, but they do not offer our magnificent view, nor the peace and quiet — instead, they are surrounded by cars and noise. Thank you, and have a nice day. Kind regards. Juri Pelizzoni Hotel Manager

Verified reviewThe property was beautifully finished and we loved having the cooking facilities. It has beautiful views and gorgeous interiors
The room really needs air conditioning this time of year my husband and I had terrible night sleeps for the 2 nights we stayed here which was such a shame as everything else was fabulous
Good evening, Thank you very much for your kind words about our property, the view, and the interior design. We’re sorry to hear about your dissatisfaction regarding the lack of air conditioning. We do provide a fan in every room for all our guests, but we understand your concern. This is a point we are currently discussing with the property ownership as a possible future investment. Thank you again, and we hope to welcome you back on your next stay. Juri Pelizzoni Hotel Manager

Verified reviewParking lot, View
I stayed in this Hotel at with my wife and my two kids. We stayed in room number 31, at the attic. This is Unsuitable Accommodation and misleading Representation I am writing to express my extreme dissatisfaction with the accommodation I rented through Booking.com. This room, is far from being suitable for human habitation, has proven to be an absolute disgrace, causing significant discomfort and severe back pain to everyone in my family. The most egregious issue is the severely sloped ceilings in both the bathroom/toilet and the main living area. In the bathroom, it is impossible to stand upright, forcing us to crouch or bend over just to use the facilities. Washing your face or brushing your teeth, is impossible, you should be an acrobat, in order to see your face. In short, the bathroom is simply unacceptable and unusable. Similarly, the living space offers only a few square meters where one can stand fully erect, for the vast majority of the room, we are forced to walk around bent over. This is completely unacceptable and frankly, an insult to rent out such a unit as living accommodation for human beings. The photos on Booking.com are highly misleading and in no way accurately reflect the true, unlivable conditions of the property As a direct result of these deplorable conditions, we are all suffering from terrible back pain. The temperature in the room was unbearable, the old and noisy fan is a sad joke that does not provide even a partial solution, the windows in the roof can be opened but then there are lots of insects that come in, so even though it was a nice day outside, and even it was rained, the room was simply boiling with heat, and it was impossible to sleep, we just waited for morning to come and run away from there. This accommodation is unfitting and truly not suitable for human dwelling.
Dear Guest, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are genuinely sorry to hear that your stay in our attic room did not meet your expectations and caused you and your family discomfort. Room 31 is, as correctly stated, located in the attic, and its particular charm lies in the traditional sloped ceilings typical of alpine architecture. However, we understand that this layout may not suit everyone’s preferences or needs, especially in terms of headroom in certain parts of the room. We do not intend to mislead guests — our photos and room descriptions clearly indicate that it is an attic space with sloped ceilings. That said, we will carefully review our online listings again to ensure they are as clear and transparent as possible. Regarding temperature and ventilation: while our hotel, like many in the region, does not have air conditioning due to the usual mild mountain climate, we do provide a fan in every room. We regret that this was not sufficient during your stay and acknowledge that very hot days can create discomfort — we are already discussing possible improvements with the property management team for future seasons. As for the insects mentioned, we will look into this and ensure that proper screens or solutions are in place to allow guests to ventilate the room without inconvenience. We are sincerely sorry to hear that your experience negatively affected your physical comfort. That is never our intention. Had we been informed of your discomfort during your stay, we would have done our best to offer a more suitable alternative or help in any way possible. Your feedback is valuable, and although we regret that your stay was so disappointing, we will use your comments to improve. We wish you and your family all the best, and we hope your future travels will be more enjoyable. Juri Pelizzoni Hotel Manager

Verified reviewThe location is top notch, the staff were very pleasant and rooms were tidied each day and fresh towels too. Very quiet place, with lovely outdoor deck chairs overlooking the fantastic mountain landscape. Breakfast was a little pricey, but very good. The room with a balcony looking out over the Eiger was exceptional!
Separate bathroom across the corridor was a pain only if you needed the loo during the night as there was another guests room between the two rooms. Car parking extra charge was a bit steep!

Verified reviewAmazing location overlooking the Eiger. Staff were great. It’s a sort of upmarket guest house but works well. A relatively challenging walk into town (and particularly back), but we look for this.
Some may find the location too far from town.
