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 StatesI wish there had been a common area to sit and relax when the bar and kitchen were closed
The owner and staff were wonderful! Located in a quiet little mountainside town, Pension Gimmelwald was a comfortable, cozy place to stay. The owner even shared the recipe for her wonderful almond cake!

United StatesAbsolutely nothing!!! Got to like the mountains!!!!
Breathtaking. Cozy. Accommodating. We hiked around, sliding on their sleds everywhere. Up and down the amazing mountain cable cars. Available right out the door from Pension. Owners are on sight and most helpful. We sat late afternoon by a stove fire and sipped beer and wine…Homemade dinner. Very very affordable!! Would / will come back.

BermudaThe only downside of our stay was my wife arrived sick. The owners went out of their way to make sure she was comfortable and able to recover. At such a busy time as Christmas this was truly appreciated and we hope to be back so we can all experience this wonderful place again together.
Absolutely everything. The location is stunning. The atmosphere in the hotel is special and the owners and staff were lovely. The rooms were cozy and the beer exceptional.

United StatesThe pillow (only one) was too soft. I asked for another one and it helped, but I prefer firm pillows in general, and this is a problem in the USA as well.
I loved the nooks and interesting seating options throughout; from inside the restaurant/bar area to the deck outside facing the mountains. The setting is the star, but the vibe is enhanced with music tracks that always seemed perfect; I loved the breakfast, but only opted for one dinner. They serve one meal family style; since I am a little "particular" and not much for red meat etc. The one meal I ate was a pasta dish, salad and dessert - wonderful and a lot - you get your money's worth! The one lunch item I ordered was delicious and substantial: grilled Halloumi cheese on a roll with tomato, lettuce and a slightly spicey condiment with potato salad and greens. Fresh and tasty and no meat! People come from all around the globe to visit; this is a fun place, but if you want to experience this awe-inspiring setting quietly, you can do that too.

United StatesIf you are looking at this location, then you likely already know what Gimmelwald represents. A small community near Mürren, so cozy, clean, and natural. We had an amazing experience returning to this villa after 14 years. The Pension and hosts were extraordinary. Be sure to join for dinner!

United StatesThe rooms have almost no sound insulation. A person walking upstairs feels as if they’re walking in your room just louder. This means that when a person gets up early, you get up at the same time because the Noise is so high
Excellent breakfast. And Location is perfect.
