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 reviewthere is only one toilet each for male and female that we have to share with the whole floor (about 10 rooms). It's a bit busy in some period of the day.

Hotel is still under construction, noone we could access to when we had problem, there was a group partying in the middld of of the night in the floor hall.
You're right, it's not nice when guests talk loudly in the hallway at night without paying any attention to sleeping guests. In such a case, next time open the door and ask the people in the hallway to be quiet.

Verified reviewNice staff, good location.
Pretty expensive for what you get. Some of the rooms are pretty shabby, noisy from the other rooms and hallway. Only one toilet for men and one for women in the entire place. Parking costs 5,- extra which is unnecessary regarding the huge parking lot.

Verified reviewThe location was good
They forced me to wire full payment at booking time and would not take credit card or wait. They promised gift cards for a restaurant but there were none. They were not there at checkin and did not answer the local phone number that was posted in case no one was there. We had to get a someone from a different business to look after us. When the right person arrived much later he just cared about us filling out a form re lodging. The room had someones left behind dirty clothes behind the bed and it was not the room that is pictured or similar.

Verified reviewThe hotel is in a walk distance from Nebelhornbahn. Oberstdorf is a nice town with plenty of shops and restaurants.
Permanent fresh paint smell all over the hotel and especially in our room, it seems the hotel was partly renewed at the end of 2022 and in 2023 works still in progress. There is only ONE, SINGLE person WC for men and ONE, SINGLE person WC for women per ENTIRE the hotel. Our room had no additional bathroom/WC space, a shower cabin was placed just between the TV and a window and a water sink was inside a built-in wardrobe. It was not comfortable to take a shower when other people are sleeping. There is no any special ventilation for shower, one must open a window, and in winter it is not comfortable. The door lock in our room 8 was broken and it was impossible to close it from inside a room. Likely, it was hard but possible to close it from outside. Hotel services reacted to my complaints but did not fix it, only took my time. The TV in our room did not work and it was not fixed during a week of our stay. There is no reception in a hotel, the only contact to the owner is via a phone. The restaurant "Half chicken" at the ground floor is from another owner and missing a proper ventilation. Therefore, all the time a fresh paint smell was mixed with a roasted chicken smell in our room. Very weak WiFi access. We arrived to the hotel late in the evening and it took us around 40 min to get keys: a PIN that I got with a reservation at booking.com did not match the lock box (might be it did not expected?) Furthermore, we got a PIN idea from a hotel owner via a phone, it did not match either. Finally, Ronaldo drove to the hotel and opened a box with a magnet key. Then, it was too late searching a nice restaurant, we only had chance to enjoy a "Half chicken" canteen style.
