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...).

CanadaFor us, nothing!
The young lady at reception was incredibly helpful and spoke impeccable English (which we both appreciated). Our room was huge, with a double length balcony which overlooked a quiet residential area. The bed was very comfortable and a good size bathroom. A pleasant 15 minute walk to the Rhine and city centre.

GermanyBreakfast was good but in a basement without windows. Restaurant on ground floor where we had dinner was a bit creepy, with a solitary accordionist playing to a small number of diners...
Very well located for "Messe", but also old town (south of the river) is not far (15 minutes on foot, or one can jump on a tram/bus).

CyprusNothing! everything was great.
The hotel , even though a budget hotel surprised us with coffee capsules and water bottles daily. A lovely bonus when travelling, they also offered us the Basel card with museum discounts and free tram pass. An amazing bonus in a rather expensive city like Basel. The location is easily assessible by tram and you can walk to the old town is less than 15 minutes.

AustraliaI wanted twin beds and there was but they were right up against each other. We moved them apart slightly. But I was disappointed. Also on arrival, I was early and just wanted to leave my bags. I was greeted with an accusatory “you’re early, your rooms not ready!”rather than a friendly hello first. All other staff were lovely but I was not impressed with the first greeting and to be honest it impacted my stay in Basel.
Very clean and comfortable. The location was okay. Breakfast was superb
