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...).

United KingdomEven though there is a tram really close, hotel is a bit far away from the centrum which might be a problem for some people, we haven't found any restaurants near by, there is no direct connection from train station to the hotel - you either have to walk for min 15min or change trams midway. Room we had was very small. We wanted a twin room with selerate beds which we got but gap between those beds was so small that it didn't make any real difference than having a standard double (which again, in our case wasn't a big problem). Shower glass wasn't big anough for the shower itself so be prepared to have your bathroom turned into a basin
Hotel was very clean, really nice receptionists, hot water available downstairs in the coffee machine, good breakfast selection, kettle and board games available to rent (for a deposit in reception), close to tram number 14 that takes straight to city center, view was nice, comfy beds, air con, TV

TurkeyWe did not encounter any problems during the check-in process. We stayed for four days. The staff was very friendly. Our room was clean and comfortable. The number 14 tram stop was right next to the hotel. The only downside I found was that the housekeeping staff only made the bed. It would be much better if they also vacuumed when they came. Thank you.

Germany25' walk from SBB. Immediate environment doesn't have many shops or restaurants. no kettle for tea and coffee in the room (possibly at the lobby)
Room was relatively large and had a view (8th floor). Equipment was nice and in really good shape. Good bed. Rather spacey bathroom. Desk which allows to do some work. Lobby area rather nice. Tram stop very close to the hotel, so you get wherever you want to go in Basel rather quick. Despite busy street and rail really close, room was quiet as long as you have the window closed. AC available. Hairdryer in bathroom

GermanyThe Breaking is overpriced for what it offers. The dining options are limited, and the pizza is disappointing—both in quality and taste. Additionally, the parking fee is 25 Swiss francs, yet there seems to be no enforcement on who actually pays.
Fair Price. Room was clean and silente.

Austrianew towels even though they were on the rails for reuse (what‘s the purpose if the sustainability sticker?)
Location within walking distance resp. one tram stop away from the event venue St. Jakobshalle; you get a public transport ticket when paying the city tax. staff is very friendly and supportive; no checkout as there is a code to the door, no card; room is really quiet, windows super sound proof! Also no noise from the corridor or adjacent rooms (loved it!); bed was comfy and with huge blanket (big plus), clean and neat interior Would stay there again. Wifi works as expected. Didn’t have breakfast.
