Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United KingdomPerfect location opposite the station and a bus stop. We had a good sized room with a washbasin. The shared bathroom was nearby. We opted for packed lunches and dinner each evening- these were good value and filling. The staff were friendly and helpful. Easy to travel around the area using the excellent local transport and as a bonus the hostel gives you a free travel pass which includes cable cars etc. A great area for hiking and for enjoying the wildflowers.

CanadaWhen we checked in, nobody let us know the situation about the Wi-Fi. We found out the next morning that it’s very complicated and we never were able to access the service because the reception desk closed down fairly early in the evening. That should really be improved ASAP. The rest of the experience was very fine.
The breakfast was excellent.

United StatesFor a youth hostel in the youth off season, I thought it was expensive. We marked that up to being in Switzerland.
What we like the most, the gracious and friendly concierge who shared her knowledge of Pontracina with us in the most engaging manner. Also exceptional was its location next to the superlative Italian restaurant in the station Hotel, Ricardo's, where are the salads, pasta, and service, by Roberto, were exceptional, one of the best restaurant experiences we have had in Switzerland. My room was large, having four beds for just the Two of Us, and it had a sink. Not to be dismissed, the hostel was right next to the train station that facilitated our day trip to the very foggy turquoise-lake Bernina pass. We greatly enjoyed the cogwheel train trip to Murottas Muragel.

ItalyThe pricing is more of a Swiss culture pricing issue. Low for Swiss standards but still not low enough for me. There was a large booking with children and that wasn't as pleasant during breakfast. It would have been better when I extended in person my stay the first time, to give me the same rate as I found on booking. So when I extended the second time, I I had to go via the app.
The reception staff is incredibly friendly and very helpful. Always a smile and the answered all my inquiries with care plus willing to go the extra way.

United StatesReception doesn't open until 4pm, so if you arrive before then you have to wait. There are lockers to store your luggage, though you need 2 swiss francs to lock the locker.
Great location directly across from the train station. There is also a bus to St Moritz right next to the train station (5.60 francs one way without any discounts). The hostel is clean and the rooms are a good size. Helpful staff. Great breakfast. There's also a nice common room with a refrigerator and microwave, as well as books and games. Dinner is a good deal, though there is a grocery store in town if you're looking for something cheaper that you can microwave. People of all ages in this hostel. Nice, friendly vibe.
