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 KingdomThe shared shower (which we were aware of) was very small - but the mat you stepped out onto was dirty - would suggest a wooden slat thing to use instead. Mattress was ok, but soft and lumpy. The room was hot but too noisy on the street to leave our window open. Cooking facilities were OK- did what we needed to do. Lidl and Migros 5 min walk away.
Well placed on the main road in Kriens, just a short walk to the Cable car for Mount Pilatus. Staff member Apple was so lovely and helpful. Easy to get in and out of Lucerne - bus No 1. The hostel was very good at responding with me when I had questions before I arrived.

ItalyA bit far from city centre but still you can take bus 1 from Kriens stop for city centre and it’s about 10 minutes by bus.
The hostel is good if you want to live in Lucerne in an economical way. There is also a big is a kitchen for cooking.

SwedenThe beds were making sound if we move while sleeping in the night. I would recommend couple of more fans as one side of the room has no access to windows and could get hot during summers

AustraliaThe location is close to Mt Pilatus cable car station and not far from the centre. The size of the bedroom with two single beds quite big. It does not have a lift. There is a washbasin in the room. The heater does not work. There is a kitchen and an eating room. Breakfast is 10chf per person but I did not have breakfast at the hostel. Shared bathroom and WC is clean. In my third floor There is one bathroom and one WC for 6 double rooms. We were lucky, we did not wait to use them. There is a big locker for luggage near the receptionist. You can put one medium luggage or two small luggages. The stations of train, bus and cruise are very close to each other. There is a bus no. 1 stop A to Bellpark Hostel from Lucerne train station. It took us 10 minutes to the hostel. You need to stop at Hoffman Bellpark in front of the Hoffman and walk around 2 minutes to the hostel. No need to cross the road, you can see the sign of the hostel.

You can walk into downtown, but also can take the bus. There is a Lidl and a Kiosk nearby. There is a leisure room, with darts and foosball table.

For budget travelers and solo travelers, this is best place to stay, it's cheaper in comparison to other stays, it's location is fantastic as bus no 1 from terminal A of main bus station takes you directly in front of hotel, so no need to search the hotel in streets, Pilatus ride starts at walking distance Kitchen and sufficient dining space make it more comfortable

SwedenThe bathroom was common which was known but surprisingly it was being shared by people living in 6 rooms. This is insane as it creates delays due to 10 -12 people using the same bathroom with huge hygeine issues. Moreover, it was not clean.
