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.).

1. Room was small for the price paid. 2. Lack of basic amenities like a coffee machine or tea kettle or Fridge in the room ( an unpleasant surprise for the price paid ).

Verified reviewMagnificent building in magnificent location. Great atmosphere of a Swiss village. Hotel is beautifully decorated and surrounding area is as scenic as it gets. Breakfast is fantastic and staff is friendly and attentive. Short drive from Lucern as well.
Rooms are a stark contrast to the rest of the hotel and are very underwhelming. Only reason I’m not giving this hotel 10/10. Walls are plain and room has a hospital feel. There’s no A/C which makes it uncomfortable when it’s 30 outside (we arrived in a heatwave). There’s also almost no furniture. The beds are separate (not sure you can get a room with a single bed for 2) which is not great if you arrive as a couple. Also no TV - I personally think it’s a good thing - view outside is better than everything you can watch, but heads up for someone for whom it’s important. Also pricey, but as is everything in Switzerland.

Big wedding during our stay making our sleep virtually impossible; the management « omitted « to tell us about that after booking ; they did however contact us in advance to propose us the 4 course dinner; Very dishonest in my opinion, would not book here again

Verified reviewThe location, very clean, beautiful view
I booked 4 rooms for me and my friends on a biking trip. There was a big wedding in the hotel and even though the staff was very quick to propose us by mail the 3 course dinner (which we took), they omitted to tell us about the big party. Needless to say that nobody in the group slept very well. I find it very dishonest of their part not to let us know about it; and of course, they did not even bother to give us rooms far from the party, we were just above it. We talked about it at the reception in the morning, we got plenty of « yes » , plenty of « we understand « etc I would not book this place ever again, not because it’s not a nice place(on the contrary, it is), but because of the dishonesty and lack of care for the customers….

Verified reviewVery nice nature surrounding the hotel.
It is huge hotel, but there is only a few parking places in front of the hotel. We had to park in a public parking place (unguarder) in village 400 m far from hotel. The room in very small. The furture is old, each piece is different style, different age, colour.

Verified reviewThe location of the hotel is exceptional, surrounded by mountains and nature, a small little village nearby and lots of hiking possibilities. The region of the Vierwaldstättersee or Luzern are a short distance away with the car. From Sachseln there are various train possibilities for those who'd like to not take the car. Another thing, which for some people could sound as a negative, but actually it's not: there are no televisions to be found anywhere in the hotel. Not in the rooms, nor in the lobby or restaurant. It's an hotel to experience a complete peaceful experience, with the nature and oneself or our loved ones!
Actually there wasn't much I didn't like. The meals are quite pricey, but so is everything in Switzerland. For the same amount of money, have a meal in the hotel overlooking the beautiful scenery around it is well worth it!
