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.).

GermanyThe quality of the room is very basic. Very old bathroom, bed isn't very comfortable, curtains were tied in a knot, so cannot just close them. There was a stain on my pillow. The toiletteries weren't refilled. No hair dryer.
The location of the hotel is very good and central.

United KingdomThe room is very simple but perfect for a short stay in the city. The check in process was unique but straightforward, and the location was very convenient. The room itself was warm, cosy, with a comfortable bed and functioning shower. WiFi was good but no tv in the room. The social areas downstairs were nice and spacious, however we had to resort to sitting downstairs to charge our phones as the sockets in the room were not suitable for our adaptors; they did not fit so we were restricted. The sockets downstairs were more flat so the adaptors we had could fit better. Overall, lovely room, lovely location, would come back again if for another short stay!

TurkeyThe location is excellent—just a 1-minute walk from the river. You can easily explore all the major tourist attractions on foot. The cleanliness is good. A special thanks to Aicha Kaafar for her support. She helped me with an early check-in, which I really appreciated.

SwitzerlandFound the check in process complicated, went back and forth to the emails and the booking to found out how to get in and afterwards do the check in. I would have also appreciated more information before hand, like there is a self service toilet paper closet ;) the bathroom cabinet and the shower holder is way too high.
Is centric, modern and minimalist deco.

LatviaInterior in photos was nicer than in real life. Everything felt cheap, bathroom interior terribly dated with bathroom floors being stained and looking unpleasant. Although towels and bed linen were clean, some had some stains that’s cannot be washed - not pleasant to use. Floors were cleaned just in the area easily reachable, but heavy layer of dust below the bed and corners. There’s no sound insulation thus - everything happening around is well heard in the room! Be it neighbours coming to their rooms, late night loud talking and laughing or morning sex of someone next room - you hear it all!!
Although it is a self-check in hotel and no staff were present onsite, the ladies at the 24/7 chat were great - prompt responses and solutions to issues.

HungaryThe walls are really thin, no good isolation you can hear talking in the next-door, neighbor, toilet flushing, but again it’s not in all room the same my friend stayed in the same floor different room. She didn’t hear any toilet flashing at all. I’d like to mention that there is no kitchen or there is but you need to pay extra value to get in for 25CHF. There is a living room where there is a coffee machine and cattle for the coffee you need to pay extra. I think 1 CHF.
The 24/7 online service is really great! Specially, Aicha was very helpful! They helped me to found the room for early checking my flight was in early morning, I received my Basel card via email prior my arrival I received the codes to my room via email in advance to my arrival for me was really great service! The hotel is well located, close to Claraplaz, there is close enough lot of small restaurants. There is Aldi, Mueller, Lidl. The room was clean and tidy, you have a bottle of water free of charge in the room when you arrive.. A little suggestion, how does it work to enter your room – you have a little box on the door please you need to scroll down the black window to pop up the code, when you enter the codes, there is a little button on the left-hand side. You need to push it down to open the box with a key. This is a very simple hotel for the price is good . Towels, toilet paper, washing liquids, hairdryer are provided I would suggest to bring your own cutlery, cups or mug. I had my own tea or coffee brought with me because they’re not free of charge here.

SwitzerlandI had a very disappointing stay at this hotel. First, I never received an email with instructions on how to self-check-in, which made my arrival unnecessarily stressful. The common areas were dirty, and my room wasn’t much better—there were stains on the bedsheets, which was completely unacceptable. To make matters worse, the noise insulation was terrible. Every time the person above me flushed their toilet, it was extremely loud and disrupted my sleep. The worst part was at checkout. Despite following the instructions and leaving my key in the safe box as required, the hotel falsely accused me of not checking out properly. They even threatened to contact authorities, which was completely uncalled for. I would not recommend this place to anyone. There are plenty of better options at this price point.
