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...).

South AfricaNo twin beds in a bigger room with a toilet door- the person at reception had to make a plan for us. Think about catering for friends staying together who prefer privacy in the toilet!

United Kingdom- Room was on the smaller side, but this is common in continental Europe - Corridors could do with being slightly modernised, but were clean and well maintained - Around a 15 minute walk/ 7 minute tram ride from Basel old town, may be too far for some people - Coffee machine in the room was quite difficult to operate, instructions in English would have been nice
- Impressive building externally - Foyer area modern and spacious - Friendly staff on the front desk, with good English skills - Room itself was clean and had a fantastic view over Basel (south facing) - Hotel seemed quiet and peaceful, no noise issues - I didn't use the restaurant, but the food looked good and it appeared to be busy - Tram stop outside, with multiple lines in operation - Shops e.g. supermarkets within a short walk - Area generally safe, even later at night

United KingdomWiFi was a bit patchy and no opening windows in the room but understandable as it is a tall building. Difficult to set the ac to a good temperature. Room was a bit on the smaller side but was fine as it was just the two of us.
Staff were lovely especially the young man with the moustache who checked us in. Great view and clean room and it was in a good location everything within a 20 minute walk. Great clean bathroom.

NetherlandsInitially I was supplied an uncleaned room on arrival, which was quickly corrected by the staff by changing rooms. 25 euro for 4 glasses of tea and 5 euro for a small bottle of fanta is expensive, even for Suisse living standards.
Very polite staff. The view from the room over Basel is stunning. The view and sunset from the roof top bar is even more breath taking (you have to pay extra for access). The location is very close to the city center. It is a nice opportunity for a walk or using the included free public transport pass. The breakfast buffet is excellent and elaborate. There is an excellent parking in the basement.

PolandHowever, there was some confusion regarding the rooftop bar on the 30th floor. While it’s advertised as part of the hotel, it’s only accessible to special members, not hotel guests, which seemed a bit unclear.
Great location, just 15 minutes from the center, with bus and tram stops very close by. The hotel is modern and spacious, offering excellent service and a restaurant with tasty food. We had a large room with a big bathroom, fresh new towels, and a free minibar stocked with Pepsi, water, beer, juice, and even a pack of peanuts, which were replenished daily at no extra charge.

Excellent breakfast. Handy transport right outside the door.

PhilippinesThe hotel is very warm, on winter you would think it’s good but it’s TOO WARM even if we set the room temperature to 1°. We didn’t use our blankets and woke up a few times because it was uncomfortable. The staff is discreet I guess but they need more warmth I think. Also the pillows as others have mentioned, would go very flat.
Great hotel with a nice view of the city! Great selection for breakfast. Rooms are a little small but everything is new and maintained.

United KingdomThe pillows are awful, no support at all. Far too soft. I had to take painkillers for neck pain. Never got one good nights sleep. Inadequate wardrobe space…..unless you’re a man. I could hang jerseys, trousers, skirts ok but dresses? No. They had to hang with hemlines crumpled. Underwear? No drawers so had to be left folded in piles underneath everything on hangers but inevitably became strewed all over the place. Drawers were sadly missed. Nowhere to tidy your chargers and cables away when not in use. The desk just became a cluttered mess. Living in a hot sunny climate, I came to get the feel of Christmas, wintery Christmas, visit markets. Yet I stayed in a hotel that showed no signs of Christmas. How sad.
It was a short break but the hotel was modern and clean. Your staff were lovely. Food was delicious. Drinks were served as they should be. With care and attention to detail. Your barman (ground floor) was an absolute craftsman.

GreeceThe room felt overpriced for its size, and having only one bedside table was inconvenient. The check-in experience was a bit lacking, as the receptionist wasn’t very helpful, but the friendly staff during checkout made up for it.
I recently stayed at this hotel and was impressed by its prime location and amazing views. The complimentary card for Basel transportation was a fantastic perk, making it easy to explore the city.
