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 reviewVery friendly welcome by the staff. We were received by Markus who kindly waited for us despite our late arrival and shown us around. Note that late check-ins can be arranged by notifying the staff beforehand. The room was fit for purpose and as advertised on the website. As backpackers, what we also appreciated is the shared kitchen, the shared dining room and the washing/drying machines. Not being from Switzerland and travelling on a budget (wink wink, the too are related), it was great to be able to prepare our own dinner and breakfast (and not spend a month of salary on restaurants --> although rest assured, there are good options). Note as well that the hostel is conveniently placed very near to the town center and the train station (a 5 min walk away at most). There you go. Happy with our stay and we actually went back for a second night there. Hope this helps.

Verified reviewLocation is closed to the train station and the center
It is smelly like school canteen even in the bedroom A lot of dirty stain on the carpet. You do not want to walk there barefoot. No light in two out of four bathrooms. Between the showers, there is full of fungus. Not suitable curtain in the bedroom, it doesnt block any street light. No sound proof between the rooms at all. You hear what everybody do in the whole complex even it is just a walking. We were there with not a lot of guests but they put us next to each other. Unfortunately, we have a crying baby and loud family for the whole night. It could have been avoided if they spread us out a bit.

Breakfast was not included at this property. The Manager said that breakfast was only provided during the winter.

Verified reviewThe self check-in was easy. Big kitchen.
There was no possibility to dim the room. The coffee machine was cleaned after 8am only; we were not able to have a coffee before at the facility and had to get one from the train station buffet.

We didn‘t get the room as advertised and portrayed on the pictures. You will most certainly get bunk beds, even if shown differently Very pricy for what you get.

Verified reviewFree parking.
The level of comms isolation is very poor. You can hear literally everything, even if some is just passing by your room on the corridor. The cleanness of the room could be improved (e.g., cleaning cobwebs). Also, the curtains could be replaced for proper ones. The current once are just for decoration.

Verified reviewGood central location. Very clean facilities. Friendly staff. We stayed in room 3. It had 2 sets of bunk beds for our family of four. Room for hanging clothes and a shelf. A couple of desks and chairs plus a TV. Great for what was needed. The kitchen was great for self catering. Good fridges for storing food. Loads of crockery and cutlery. Good social space.
Not enough pans in the kitchen for cooking when others were cooking too.

I can’t speak good Swiss but the manger Markus has always welcomed me and my brother and family. Lenk is a special place and it should not be overrun as other ski resorts we will quietly continue to visit and enjoy it
