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 StatesThis property provides exceptional value for price. Sonja and her team are extraordinarily welcoming, from a friendly check-in to warmth every day at breakfast (guests are given designated tables with labeled names, which I haven’t seen at any comparable hotel). It’s not luxury by any means, but that should not be expected at this price point (I found my room tidied every day in the time I was at breakfast, which is smoother housekeeping than I’ve observed at even expensive luxury properties). A special note is that this is one of the few hotels that provides the version of the local guest card that includes the Betelberg and Metsch cable cars, which is worth a lot if you haven’t purchased the Berner Oberland Pass.

United StatesMartin, Sonja, Doris and Gerro were spectacular. They were always looking out for us and excited to see us and help us with anything we needed. We didn’t have plans one day and they helped us sort out a hike and the best way to get there. You also get a free bus pass. Breakfast in the morning was amazing. They have delicious bread, cheese, meats, hard boiled eggs, yogurt, orange juice, coffee and muesli. This bed and breakfast was so homey and pleasant. Best value in Lenk!

United StatesAll was perfect!
What a quaint, friendly place! Sonja and the rest of the staff made me feel like family during my three day stay from start to finish. My room was on the top floor as I requested (only stairs, no lift) affording a pretty view of the village of Lenk from my balcony. My single room & bath was on the smaller side, but it was perfect for my needs. A comfortable bed, a table, and bathroom were all I desired. There were enough outlets to recharge my devices and the Wifi was fine. An easy walk from the train station. Breakfast was delicious with offerings typical for Switzerland, including homemade jams. I was warmly greeted each morning and throughout my stay all made sure everything was comfortable for me. For those desiring an authentic family run place, I heartily recommend The Hotel Garni Alpenruh. Thanks, all, for a memorable stay!

DenmarkGreat hotel. I stayed in a large room with south and west facing balcony and a sink. Furniture is solid quality. You think this is Swiss made. It's a smaller village. The hotel is centrally located. On the second floor, one shared toilet and shower for women and men, respectively. I don't think anyone else were on the floor. So, the facilities were available. Friendly people. I got the sense it's family owned and run. A woman gave me a couple of options for the onward hike on Via Alpina. Also recommended a local bakery. Which had good coffee. Breakfast was buffet style with great options. Thanks!
