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.).

United KingdomProbably the hotel needs updating but it is perfectly useable for anyone.
There is so much that is good about this hotel, the position in the woods on the edge of a precipice overlooking Bad Emms, the wonderful breakfast and the staff.

IrelandWe found the bed a little low and had difficulty getting in and out.
This is a beautiful quaint hotel tucked away in the hills with a beautiful view of Bad Ems. Very peaceful. The room was lovely with a lovely balcony, the hosts very friendly and helpful and the breakfast is excellent. Loved everything about Berghotel Wintersberg.

GermanyThe restaurant was closed but luckily there were some restaurants which would accept delivery to the hotel. No elevator, but the stairs aren't that many ;)
The location for those who love nature and the calm. The room size, setup, and view. The bed size and comfort. The breakfast was great too. The small playground for children.

United KingdomDirections to the hotel - non existant as sat nav took one to the postal address not the hotel itself/
Room comfortable, but dark - probably due to the close proximity of the forrest. Superb views from the terraced patio. Breakfast was good. Address of hotel not good as the address given is the postal address hotel is some 3 miles away up a long forrest track. Then one has to telephone the owner to get the passwords for the key safe. If it was not for the help of a local man & his son, we would never have found the place. Owner needs to address the directions provided on Booking.com

United KingdomWe would have preferred to know how to access the accommodation in advance of our arrival. After a long drive, it was a bit disconcerting to have to make a phone call to find the way in, but it all worked out OK as it wasn't raininh and we weren't kept waiting very long.
Very comfortable accommodation in a lovely location. We appreciated the tea and coffee making facilities and the bar fridge.

Beautiful location, great views all around. Very comfortable rooms, excellent food, a lot of loving detail. We were a family group which had booked three bedrooms and the owner gave us deliberately one bigger room with two sofas, so we could sit together in the evening.

BelgiumThe restaurant was closed, not sure if temporarily or not, but it would've been good to have at least a snack machine or something to soothe hunger after a long day.
The hotel is located in a very nice area with a wonderful view. It is very clean, the beds comfy and the breakfast amazing.

United KingdomHotel wasn't manned when we arrived late afternoon although our room key was in a key safe and we were given instructions over the phone. The restaurant was closed and it was too far to walk to the town so, after driving all day, we had to drive to get dinner.
Loved the quietness of the place. Our room was spacious, with sofa and chairs as well as the bed which was very comfortable. The balcony was big, with chairs and table. Breakfast was excellent, everything you could wish for (perfectly boiled eggs) and was served on the terrace with a lovely view. The home-made jam was amazing- I bought 2 jars!
