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.).

NetherlandsIt was a perfect place to be. It is a good base for hiking or exploring the area. Near all facilities like trains, cable cars or the village centre with shops and restaurants. The host, Marianne, is very kind and helpful. She knows the area extremely well, so she can tell what the options are for hiking or exploring. She even brings milk from their own cows. The appartment has everything you need. It's clean, cosy and has the best views of the mountains. Would definitely recommend this chalet.

FinlandWe had the absolute best time here! The house is wonderfully decoration, perfectly clean and in the best spot on the side of the hills right under the Eiger. So cozy with the wood burn fireplace and old farm house charm. We got to say hi to the cows and bunnies everyday and give them pets. The owner Marianne and her son Kasper were incredible hosts and made sure we had everything we needed at all times.

The apartment was nice and spacious for 2 people. We liked having the wood burning stove and full kitchen, and making friends with the orange barn cat. We would love to visit and stay here again someday!

IsraelComfortable apartment on the base floor with terrace. From the windows and the entire territory of the apartments, enchanting views of the mountains and snow-capped peaks open in all directions. Separated from the living room, the kitchen is equipped with everything you need, including a stove, a dishwasher, a coffee machine, toaster, etc. Hospitable hosts, Marianna is always in touch if necessary, helps to optimally plan travel routes taking into account the "Jungfrau Region" guest card, provided by the hotel, and is very attentive to all requests.

United StatesThat we had to leave.
Marianne and Laurence are very welcoming hosts. Being on a dairy farm with Laurence milking cows every day, we were spoiled to fresh milk from Swiss Simmental cows. The location was perfect. Planted right in the middle of Grindelwald Valley towards the bottom of the North slope, a manageable distance for most to walk to the Jungfrau cable car and train station. If you go during ski season, it is possible to ski from the slopes all the way to the house. Marianne was full of advice on traveling and even helped us book a paragliding excursion. I hope to travel back some day.

IndiaThere was some initial confusion with our booking. We were a bit annoyed with it, but then Marienne more than made up for this.
Anything less than 10/10 is a crime for this place. Such a beautiful Chalet. Stole our hearts the moment we saw it. This is the image of Switzerland I have had since my childhood. Absolutely enjoyed the stay here. The place is located in a scenic and peaceful part about 2 kms from the center. Buses come right near the Chalet. But keep in mind buses run only till 7pm and run only once every hour or so. But can be reached within walking distance from Grindelwald Terminal station. A small 10-minute hike that's all. If you are interested in skiing, Grindelwald Grund station with trains to Kleiene Scheidegg is also reachable by walk. They have plenty of parking space in case you drive. In winter better to not follow the shorter route suggested by Google maps and instead follow the bus route. The chalet is very well equipped with everything you need. Happy about it. Best part was the fireplace. Made it a cozy environment for our winter stay. Otherwise, no shops etc around. You need to plan your shopping for Groceries, but that's hardly an inconvenience. Most of all, Marienne and her family are the highlight. Best hospitality I have come across in Europe. She was always in touch with us to see that we were comfortable. Be it providing fresh milk from their farm, or dropping us to the station a couple of times when we were in a hurry, cannot thank her and her family enough. Would definitely visit again.
