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 reviewVery friendly owner. Located in the center of Ellmau. With variable food on breakfast. Owner cares of your daytime and suggest to take a food in container to have a meal on the mountain. Very kind from them. Rooms have all necessary facilities for staying.
Only thing that could be improved is the internet connection. But maybe it is good opportunity to spend time with your family )

Verified review- very very very nice breakfast every morning, with a lot of options and delicios cakes :) - the room was spacious, with a nice view of the mountain - very friendly host, we got there pretty late due to heavy traffic and she found a solution for us to check-in late (we told her that we would be late) - the room and the bathroom have pretty new and nice furniture, it looks very modern
- parking was not granted, if you could find the parking spot free, you could park there, if not, you had to park somewhere else - the room was cold when we arrived, it didn't get warmer until next night when we got back from the slopes - the shower could use some improvement, as you wet the floor when taking a shower, and it damages the bathroom door as well - cash only payments - the "good" thing is that next to the pension is a bank with an ATM

Verified reviewSonja was a wonderful host ! The 2 bedroom apartment was perfect for my family for Christmas. It is very close to a ski bus stop and all the stores.
Maybe some bins to separate the trash and recycling would be good! :)

Verified reviewThe hotel has a great location. The biggest advantage is that the bus stop is right next door, so it was easy to get to the main lift with the kids. Another important aspect is that there is a children's ski school nearby, so we walked the kids. The room was spacious and had a balcony. There are even several cafés nearby.

The ski storage room could use some renovation. It doesn't fit all the boots ...

Verified reviewA loved Pension Rainer, Andrea, Gabriella were excellent hosts, welcoming, friendly, so knowledgeable and helpful in ensuring we knew what facilities were available at the Pension and the Ellmau Ski Resort. The breakfasts were the best we have enjoyed anywhere and we would highly recommend staying here. We would definitely wish to return. Everything was spotless, the rooms were a good size, comfortable, excellent bathroom and stunning views from our balcony, the facilities for skiers were fantastic and our week stay was absolutely perfect in every way. Although in the centre of Ellmau which made it easy to explore, it was lovely and quiet so a good nights sleep was always had. Many thanks to Andrea, Gabriella and Ramona was making our stay so very special.

Verified reviewLocation is perfect right in the middle of town. For the price (we had 3 in a large room) it was very good vfm. The bus stop is a 30 second walk and ski shop right underneath the block.
The wifi could do with an upgrade in order to stream movies.

Verified reviewStaff were lovely, the location is central to the town, with only a 20m walk to the ski bus which was every 15mins. Very convenient for ski hire and storage.
The booking description said washing machine and dryer, but these were not in the room. However, a washing service was provided on request, by the very helpful onsite staff.

Verified reviewThis pension is right in the middle of town, we had loads of space and it was so well equipped. There is a ski bus stop right outside and a supermarket next door. The owner is so lovely and we felt really cared for by her. There is ski storage at the pension but we chose to hire a locker by the gondola to save carrying everything on the bus, worked well for us.
While the pension is a short walk from some ski lifts these are not the main ones, just some nursery slopes. The gondola is a ski bus ride away (6 buses an hour) which is fine but not what I expected (poor research on my part I expect!). The location is excellent, right in the village but this can mean there is a bit of noise early in the morning.

Not very clean, the lady that ran the place was rude & angry, we asked for fresh towels after 4 days as they started to smell !!! Almost WW3 🤦♂️
Dear Robert, Thank you for your review, which we were expecting. You've already threatened us with that. You already told us that we would receive a better rating if we matched your price. But we don't want to buy a rating. It is a pity that you try to make cheaper holidays in this way. You have booked a self-catering apartment with your 2 friends. The initial equipment includes towels and bed linen. However, no daily change is provided. Despite this, you received new towels EVERY DAY and we cleaned the apartment EVERY DAY - unfortunately the smell was not from the towels, but from the excessive parties of you and your friends. However, justifying yourself on your review is a waste of time. We have never had such aggressive and extravagant guests. Normally you could expect some basic hygiene from 3 adult males. We wish you all the best and hope next time you find accommodation that adapts to you and your behavior. Greetings Sonja Rainer
