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 KingdomToiletries are not luxurious as they mention. In pictures are shown Rituals toiletries but they offer a different brand and just a tiny ampule of shower gel and shampoo. Mini bar was not re-stocked every day as expected and mini fridge was not cold at all. TV offered local channels in languages I do not speak. New generation of clients (Hyperion's future) expect smart TV with Netflix/HBO/Prime (we are in 2022). Robes and slippers at reception upon request should be placed in room by default (no one reads Hyperion's service book and cannot be aware of the services). Gym is very limited and cannot help clients with their workouts. Housekeepers should be available for late shifts without request in reception. My room was not cleaned as requested after coming back at night.
Hyperion is well located and connected with multiple trams. It is very quiet and well maintained. There is free mini bar included.

Modern facilities, comfortable bed. Excellent shower! Friendly staff. The view from the rooms are great. Free minibar is good, as is the nespresso machine.

RomaniaThe hotel is very close to the main areas of interest. It has a tram stop right in front of it and one more at a minute walk away. Check in was easy at the front desk. We were asked for a deposit of 50 CHF that was reimbursed to us when we checked out and out of which we were held the city tax. Large lobby with a bar, lovely amenities. The room was cozy and modern, with a lovely view from the 9th floor.

RomaniaMan at reception had a bad attitude and didn't even gave me the Basel Card. I asked his colleague later. I wrote a preference when I booked (room with a view) and wasn't taken into account, so I had to change room. Room was dirty(hair on bed, garbage in trash bin, garbage in bathroom, bed linen stained). I asked to be cleaned again and they inly took the garbage from the room. Deposit demaded( not even mentioned in Booking that this is the procedure. THE DEPOSIT IS STILL NOT RETURNED AFTER ALMOST A MONTH!!! I have to beg, apparently, every day, and they come up with excuses every time.

MaltaThey gave us a room smaller than the one I had booked. It was much smaller than the one I had chosen, and paid more for. I had to fight hard to get a bigger room. I was not looking for an upgrade, just the size of room I had booked.. There was one receptionist that sorted it out efficiently, the others were not interested. It was a shame because that mix up and spending the first night in the small room, spoilt our first impressions.
The location was perfect for exploring the city and the travel tickets given were very beneficial. The breakfast was very good and the dining room staff were very efficient and friendly.

United StatesThe room was incredibly dirty and with previous guests crumbs and hair found throughout. I asked to have it vacuumed, they assured me they would, and it was never done. Toiletries were not checked or filled and I had to call the front desk on three different occasions to ask for shampoo and body wash, finally receiving after 12 hours and my 9:30 pm call. Housekeeping just kind of haphazardly threw the bedding on to make the bed, which honestly was the actual least of my worries. There were stains on the walls that could have easily been wiped off after the room changed hands and dirt and sticky residue in the mini bar. Would recommend staying in the Marriott, which is a few blocks away, if you want to be in that area, and of similar pricing.

The matress was very old and we couldn’t sleep on it- pillows very poor quality too. The carpet was also smelling very bad. Restaurant not cozy at all ( train station atmosphere).

SwitzerlandWe came over Xmas period, 22-24.12. We found almost no Xmas mood and deco. No festive effort on room neither breakfast. Quite disappointing. The cleaning lady wake up before 9h to clean the room. We asked 15min delay (in order to wake up and go to breakfast) , at the end the cleaning lady never came - needed to ask to clean the room at 15h. We found breakfast less rich - no fresh and various bread, no salmon.. something that you expect in 4*. Also the room was quite small, although « standard » for 2, with only one night table. Not sure that I’d consider to come for the third experience.
Nice location, the hotel provides local travel card, easy to travel around the city. It’s my second stay. The first time we find the room excellent- spacious , comfy. The second stay was less exciting and excellent

Quite hitech,especially the use of lift and nobody explained the use of it.Housekeeping was not good.No cups left for coffee, glasses not changed ,no bottle opener for mini bar !Hairdryer did not work. Towels were changed once and only Left 1 set.There were 2 of us. Overall a big disappointment and a very expensive breakfast.
The tram was literally outside the hotel,so easy access to old city and train station.
