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.).

Hotel B&B Stossplatz was a wonderful place to stay in Appenzell. It’s located right near the train station so was easy to find when I arrived, and check-in was straightforward and quick. The rooms are clean, spacious, and the bed was comfy. I was so grateful that they served a fresh, varied breakfast so I could eat a big meal before going out hiking for the day! And the hosts were so kind and friendly; they chatted with me about hiking routes and were knowledgeable and enthusiastic about Appenzell. Also, they had free laundry machines in the basement and provided laundry detergent — which was so helpful as I was traveling on a long trip and didn’t often have access to laundry.

ItalyWhile not being a major setback, light condition could be improved in the room. There is only one source in the center of the ceiling, and nothing on top of the sink. Same goes for the shared bathroom. No deal breaker - but nice to have. The shared bathroom which served my room is not the one in the photos, but older and with a bathtub. The adv should be adjusted to reflect it - it disappointed be me a bit.
Super comfortable location, Monica was great in taking care of everyone. Breakfast is amazing with a wide choice of salty and sweet, fresh bread every day. The atmosphere is very familiar. Just 2 minutes from the train station - great if you stay here to hike around. But also, 7min walking distance to the city center. Lovely stay, very quite despite the closeness to the train station (you don't hear a thing). Comfy bed while the pillow is the classic huge and structureless that hotels love so much.

MalaysiaMy room was right above the outdoor dining seating area. At night, guests were seated outside till late, chatting away and smoking, and it disturbed my sleep. Recommend to ask for rooms that are not facing the outdoor seating area. Bed mattress was a bit soft for me, but it didn't matter as I was tired out at the end of the day, and it didn't affect my sleep!
Monica, the host was warm, friendly and informative. I felt at home the moment I met her. Breakfast was a good spread, the hotel was clean and at a great location, very near to the train station. I was sharing the bathroom with 2 other rooms, but felt like it was my own bathroom! Coffee, tea and fruits were available at all hours to guests and one can even heat up one's food in the microwave provided. They were a bonus. My room was neat and clean.

ThailandThe room rate was a bit high but of course with Swiss high cost of living which I could understood. Overall I was happy to stay here.
A small hotel run by the owner who took care of all. Of course Swiss hospitality is superb. The breakfast was more than plenty with surrounding that I felt like eating at home. The hotel was near the train station but no noise disturbed me at all during those 7-night stay.

NetherlandsLovely and friendly host that brightens up the start of my day, with delicious and surprising breakfast selection! Location is very close to train station, I can get out of my room 5 minutes before and be at the train before it goes. Staying three nights give me the advantages of Appenzeller Holiday Card. Enjoying all my hikes for sure! During my stay, I overheard people extending their stays at this hotel. Considering all the positive experience, I can totally see why. If I were to be back, I will definitely stay here again. Definitely recommend!

United StatesWonderful staff - very friendly and speak multiple languages. SUPER CLOSE to the train station, yet still quiet. (We slept with windows open and the trains never woke us up, and I'm the type that wakes up easily.) You check in at a little machine opposite the front door. It gives you your keys after you enter your information. There's a washing machine and dryer in the basement floor for guest use, free of charge, and they provide the detergent too. I'd suggest using the quick wash option for about a 30 min wash. Other selections take from 1.5 to over 3hrs. Learned that the hard way. Breakfast had a lot of great variety and you could also order fresh eggs made to your liking. Very clean in the rooms and everywhere. Pretty view of the green hillside out our bedroom window. No AC but for our time of year, it wasn't missed. Other nice features: black out shade; lots of shelves for easy storage in the room; small table and 2 chairs in the room. Beds were very comfortable - we prefer slightly soft but still supportive and that's what they were. (Too often, we find beds in Europe are extra firm...so happy these were not!) Pillows were down-filled, so they basically squished down to nothing. We'd prefer something thicker, but it was fine for 3 nights. Maybe they had other options, we never asked. Bathroom was small but that's normal here. Shower also small, with a fabric curtain. If you stay 3 nights in the Appenzell region, your hotel will issue you a special card and it comes with all sorts of awesome discounts, free gifts, and free transportation. Food nearby we loved - Donner Kebab. We got the kebab with everything and a side of fries 2 nights in a row because it was so good and a great price too. Highly recommend! If we ever go back, we'd stay here again. Rating 9/10 because I only rate 10's for places that blow me away. This place was still great!!!
