Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

GermanyBreakfast is traditional and good for meat lovers, less of fish products like salmon. Otherwise it's more than adequate. Coffee / tea in room with be much welcomed. The restaurant was close this time, but there is decent Italian place down in the village, opposite to monastery.
Location is hard to believe - full view of Ettal monastery with the Alps on the backdrop. One of the best views.. Rooms are traditional in overall style, yet modernized with fresh and bathrooms. Great water pressure and temperature, large balcony with seating area, fully equipped minibar - really the only thing potentially missing in the basic rooms is tea/coffee facilities. The breakfast is pretty good, with a few missing things maybe, but, you get a candle lighted on every table while the breakfast and this is sooo charming!

GermanyFantastic traditional Bavarian hotel, with a perfect location over a hill, overseeing the nearby amazing monastery and not close to the road to hear any noises. Good starting point for mountain walks as well. It has a good restaurant, nice service and a high quality breakfast. The spa centre is pleasant as well.

United KingdomParking is limited, I had to park to the overflow area. I liked the candle lit restaurant but to have breakfast between two candles was a little bit over the top
Nice area and the hotel was nice with traditional wooden features. Special thanks and praise to the lovely Bulgarian waiter.

GermanyThe rooms on the renovated side are a bit on a smaller side. I'd suggest removing the little table in the room to have more space to walk freely.
Killer view + nice spa area! The restaurant is also really good, no need to drive anywhere. The staff were all really nice except for one grumpy older lady at the reception.

United StatesLocated on the hillside in beautiful Ettal overlooking the Ettal Cloister and the valley. My balcony faced outward and I opened my balcony door at night for the mountain air and the sound of rushing water falls. It's like living in a fairy tail. The hotel itself is rustic Bavarian/Alpen style that is gorgeous inside and out. The breakfast was much more than expected. The food was delicious and well prepared and lots of it.

RomaniaI recently stayed at Hotel Blaue Gams, and it was a delightful experience. The standout feature of this hotel is undoubtedly the stunning views. Waking up to the breathtaking scenery was an absolute highlight and set a perfect tone for each day. The rooms were cozy, comfortable, and well-maintained. The decor was tasteful and complemented the natural beauty surrounding the hotel. The breakfast was excellent, with a wide variety of options to choose from. Everything was fresh and delicious, making for a great start to the day. I also had a very enjoyable dinner experience at the hotel’s restaurant. The menu offered a wonderful selection of dishes, and the quality of the food was impressive. The spa was another highlight of my stay. It was clean, well-equipped, and provided a perfect space to unwind after a day of exploring. The relaxation area, along with the sauna and other amenities, made it an ideal place to recharge. Overall, I had a wonderful stay at Hotel Blaue Gams and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful retreat with beautiful views, comfortable rooms, and great dining experiences.
