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.).

BelgiumThe furniture in the room, including the wooden door, were quite worn out and would benefit from updating. It would be nice to have not only coffee, but also tea bags in the room.
The location is unbeatable, with amazing views from the terrace, breakfast room and the spa. A very pleasant lobby area with a bar and a fireplace. Awesome spa and wellness facilities, with a delightful relaxation room. Very nice and welcoming staff and a comfortable room. Would gladly stay again.

United KingdomIt is quite expensive for people travelling from the UK but that’s Switzerland!
We booked the hotel as it was dog friendly. Lots of hotels say they are dog friendly but they really mean ‘we allow dogs to sleep in your room’ but the Sunstar was truly dog friendly. They were allowed anywhere in the hotel that we were. We never asked for water the staff always just appeared with some for them, and they were left treats & poo bags in our room! It was great for us humans too. Breakfasts were delicious and we had fondue in the restaurant which I would recommend. All the staff were super helpful & friendly. Hotel is also super central. We travelled with our campervan and the staff made sure we had a big enough space to park for the duration. Would definitely go back, we were there in summer and would love to go back for a ski holiday.

United StatesNo AC! Luckily we had a balconey room so we were able to open the doors to get a breeze. There was a fan in the room that we definitely used! My husband hated the pillow, but I folded it in half and slept fine on it.
The breakfast was exceptional! The minibar was stocked twice for us for no charge! The room came with a free bus pass to get around Grindlewald and a discountoff many other attractions! The view was gorgeous. We entirely planned to use the spa, but never did due to spending too much time on top of mountains by using the cable car systems around town.

GermanyThe only downsides were the flat pillows at first, though the staff quickly brought us extra ones when we asked which was great. A bit of an unpleasant odor during the last day or two, no idea where that came from.
the location was great: surrounded by charming little shops, restaurants and close to the bus stops which was very convenient. The room was clean and i appreciated the complimentary mini bar on the first day. The mountain view was stunning. Breakfast was another big plus with plenty of options and variety especially as a vegetarian. The staff were super friendly and helpful.

Saudi ArabiaOne small detail — I wish they provided slippers, as those little extras do make a difference (they are available for purchase 🥲). There was a bit of a strange smell in the hotel, especially near the entrance — likely from the wood and cheese — but it’s part of the mountain lodge charm.
We had a lovely stay at Sunstar Hotel in Grindelwald! The First mountain station is located right in front of the hotel, making it the perfect starting point for outdoor activities. The view during breakfast overlooking the Eiger Mountain is absolutely breathtaking — truly unforgettable. The hotel is well-located in the heart of downtown, close to shops, restaurants, and main attractions. The room was good, though the pillow was too soft and not very supportive. Also, there’s no A/C, but they do provide a fan which helped during the warmer hours. although breakfast was a bit limited, it was tasty and satisfying. The train station is about a 15-minute walk, but the hotel offers free shuttle service both ways, which was really convenient. They also provide a guest card for free use of public transportation. The reception staff were friendly and welcoming. We had the best time in Grindelwald and would definitely return to the town !
