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 StatesThere's no thermostats in the rooms - it's all central heating. It was quite hot at night, especially with the down comforters. We needed to keep the windows open at night - which caused us to wake up frequently when large trucks would drive by on the street, especially after 5am. When the windows were closed, though, everything was nice and silent. The wifi was good, and we were able to relax to a show before bed on a tablet, but there was no way to do anything with the TVs in the room. The system they have does not allow casting or screen mirroring, nor does it allow any apps such as Netflix, Disney, etc. As tourists who speak English, we didn't really watch any of the mainly Swiss German channels that were available through the TV. I'd recommend bringing a Chromecast or something that'll allow you to use your own apps or cast to the screen.
The view is unmatched. We had an upper floor corner view room and despite it being rainy for a few days, our view was spectacular. Breakfast was good with fresh breads/croissants, meats/cheeses, hard/soft boiled eggs, juices, fruits, yogurts, jellies, cereals, and more. Coffee and tea was also served. The property was very cute and had an authentic Swiss Alpine feel. The location was perfect, in short walking distance to everything including Grindelwald Terminal. There was no charge for parking. There's a game room on the bottom floor with books, games, billiards, a card table, and more. Perfect for a rainy day/night. The staff and the owners at the front desk were delightful and very helpful and accommodating.

United KingdomIt would have been nice to have a hot option for breakfast, but this was by no means a deal-breaker - what was offered for breakfast was very tasty and the breakfast room was gorgeous and cosy.
The room was exceptional and the staff were so warm and accommodating! Fabulous location at the quieter end of town which was so peaceful but everything was still incredibly accessible (we were only a 5 minute walk to the First cable car). We wish we had booked a longer stay!

HungaryThe waitresses were a bit "lost", and noone could make the drink we ordered from the menü. We were very excited about the dinner because it sounded so good on paper, it turned out okay.
The outside of the hotel is actually even more beautiful than in the picture! The room was nice, clean, and the bed was comfy. The staff was kind and helpful with our requests. Our favourite thing was the AMAZING view of the glacier from our (shared) terrace!

Absolutely wonderful stay. Loved the alpine feel. The owners were very attentive to our questions. Very clean. Nice breakfast with a good variety of choices. The fixed dinner was not our style but was good. The location was perfect and the view from our room was perfect. Could relax on the hotel front porch with a aperitif and relax. Would definitely recommend.

United KingdomMy bedroom smelt very strongly of fresh wood, which kept making me sneeze in the night! And the rooms were very expensive compared to other areas of Switzerland (I am guessing this might just be the way in Grindelwald) Otherwise comfortable and very quiet.
