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.).

DenmarkThis was a good place for me to spend a night in Interlaken both before and right after my 9 day hike in the Jungfrau region mountains. It is located a outside the center of Interlaken but a walkable distance. It is easy to get from here with the PostBus to the Wilderswil train station for the train to Schynige Platte. There is a good bakery a few minutes away for breakfast and coffee. The beds were comfortable and the staff was friendly and helpful. Checking in went quickly and smoothly. I had booked a bed in a 6 bed mixed dorm, but both times I was put in a room composed of two separate rooms, each with 4 beds. This was actually nicer than being in a 6 bed dorm, just perhaps a little confusing.

SingaporeThe shared kitchen only has a microwave, disposal cutleries & plates, so you can not cook food, only can heat up food. No fridge. The free coffee machine didn't work that day, so we thought we could use the other coffee machine next to it (at the bar counter). But the staff told us we can't operate that one ourselves, but did not tell us that we need to pay for the coffee from that machine. So he made the coffee for my husband and then charged him for it because that coffee machine was not free.
The whole place has nostalgic vibes, but the furniture is old. Nice environment and quite a convenient place to go to Interlaken West Station.

LuxembourgThe hostel rooms are part of a hotel structure. To enter a room you have a key card, providing security for your stuff that you can also leave at the luggage room opposite the reception. The reception is open 24h a day, with very polite staff at every instance. All in all, a great choice if you want to explore Interlaken on a budget

BelgiumWe got a free upgrade to a 2 person private room in this old mansion styled hostel. Cosy atmosphere, friendly staff and people. Only stayed 1 night but would have stayed longer here. Do not expect luxury and you have to be okay with a little mold and some stains here and there but overall, nice experience!

SpainThere were almost no sockets at all in the entire room, at most one per bunk bed (one for both beds, and not always), and 2 in the bathroom.

SpainThe shower of the room we stayed at was really small and one of the corners of the floor was sunken, which made it uncomfortable. The shower head was also broken, which meant that the water got everywhere except for where it should, and the light was very dim. For the bunk beds, if someone moved on the lower bunk bed, it was really noticeable in the upper one. There were also no lockers in the room, which didn’t bother us because we were a big group, but should be noted.
The view from the room was amazing and the price we paid for it was a good deal (seeing as Switzerland is one of the most expensive countries). The lobby area had some nice sofas, and there was a dining hall where we could bring our own food and eat it (they also had a microwave and plastic cutlery available).

United KingdomThere were some wall sockets and a tall lamp, but more lighting options nearer each of the bunks would be ideal. Likewise the bathroom needed a don't look approach- there was mould throughout the wall.
This hotel/hostel has the bones of once being a star hotel in the area. The rooms were standard back packer rooms however they were super basic with only bunk beds available. The view was incredible, with our room over looking the mountains in two directions and a view of the snow capped mountain right in front. There was a bar and communal area for people to congregate and have a drink or play some games. The beds were okay too neither comfy or uncomfy. Staff were super friendly and helpful.
