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 reviewThis was one of the best hotels we stayed in on our trip. The family that own & run this hotel are just wonderful, some of the nicest people you will ever meet. The hotel was in a suburb above the town centre with great views of town & the mountains & was a very tranquil place to be, at the same time just a short downhill walk to town. Also this suburb has it's own train station for trips to the attractions around Berchtesgaden. Our room was spacious & very clean, it also had the best shower of our trip. We had a big balcony which was a wonderful place to sit in the evening. We also had the best breakfast of our trip here, we certainly looked forward to it each morning out in the garden. For a small hotel there was a really good choice. The super nice & ever smiling Ben would come & take our order for the hot dishes (made to order by the lovely Florian) & hot drinks ( Ben also makes the best coffee😀), this family are award winning for a good reason!! Bad Reichenhall is beautiful & a very leafy town not yet over run by tourism, it has a great shopping strip, beautiful gardens & lots of water features. Highly recommend this hotel & we would go back in a heart beat.
Everything perfect

Verified reviewHave to say, the stay overall was amazing. The Fuchs family were very hospitable and friendly, welcoming us and explaining about the place, activities to do around and more. The rooms are extremely spacious (thanks for the complimentary upgrade), quiet and comfy. Although this is a family run place, we felt right at home and there wasnt any privacy issues. Breakfast was lovely (Thanks Ben). Plenty of activities to do around (The fuchs recommended different things to do around) if you take a bus (nothing much near the premise except small hiking trails, or the town nearby) - Ask the team for the free bus ticket, they will issue it for you. Bus station is just 15 mins walking. Overall it was an amazing stay, and would definitely recommend it to others. (Note to the family, Thanks for the recommendation about Lake Chimsee, we went there and loved it).
Only thing I would recommend is to have bikes available at the hotel for easier mobility, could even be rented.
Dear Khaled, Thank you so much for your detailed and thoughtful review! We’re truly happy to hear that you had such an enjoyable stay with us and felt right at home — that means a lot to us as a family-run hotel.

Wishing you all the best and we hope to welcome you again soon! Warm greetings from Bayerisch Gmain, Your Fuchs Family

Verified reviewThe view from the room was marvellous, the breakfast was exquisite. The staff was rather friendly. One could get drinks in the evening and simply write down how much one had drunk in a list. The prices were around the price of the drinks itself, no extra charge.
We ordered a room for three with an extra bed. The double bed was good, but the extra bed had a very bad mattress. If we were just two, that would have been a 10/10, but the extra bed removed one star.
