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...).

AustraliaThe bed was good quality but too firm with springs. It would be nice if they offered memory foam toppers. They are not expensive to buy and can make the world of difference for us more senior ppl with hip and back issues. There is no air conditioning allowed in the old town, and hotels are very heated in winter. Even though I had the heating turned off, I had to open the tiny windows in my room. Just something to be aware of in summer.
Location is great. Good restaurant downstairs too. The room size was good, but I did have to book a more expensive room to get a decent size. I was there for a 3 day event, and like all hotels, the price did not reflect the standard of the hotel. Just the usual ridiculous price hikes. Really good choice of restaurants that served local food within close proximity. Shopping in the area is fantastic. Good quantity and variety of local quality shops. Basel is a beautiful little city.

KazakhstanWe stayed at this hotel for four nights. The room was good and clean, which we appreciated. However, the room service definitely needs improvement. I ordered twice through the digital concierge (which is a nice feature), but both times there were issues. The first time, they forgot one of the burgers. I requested it again, waited 40 minutes, but no one came, so I had to cancel it. The next day, we ordered room service again, and once more, they forgot the French fries and a glass of wine. When I mentioned this to the staff member who delivered our order, she didn’t apologize and simply said, “The kitchen is in a hurry.” When I pointed out that this was the second time it had happened, her response was a dismissive “Yeah, okay.” That’s not the level of service you expect, especially when you’re hungry and just want to enjoy your meal. Later, a young man did come to apologize, which I appreciated. My recommendation would be to improve service efficiency and train staff to be more polite and attentive to guests. A little courtesy goes a long way!

SpainRoom was a bit colder for us, we come from southern Europe. Temperature can only be controlled +/- 2 celsius degrees over the stablished temperature by the hotel. We would like to have a wider control. Anyway, hotel provided a heater, so we could improve confort.
Nice rooms, completely renewed with a contemporary style in an historic building. They are big for a couple, with enough space to feel amplitude. Lot of room for clothes and baggage. Nice bathroom, with separated wc and shower. Really liked a lot our room. Staff was kindly. Also, the Bohemia restaurant is also a very good option. Lot of people not staying in the hotel, as it has good food, ambient and staff with a rasonable price.

United KingdomOur room was on the second floor overlooking the street. It was very noisy, there is a nightclub just in front of the hotel with noisy people entering and leaving. On our second night we asked for earplugs at the reception which helped a lot.
The hotel is perfectly situated to visit Basel, very central. Very nice design of the room and the hotel in general. Very nice sauna and steam room facilities

AustriaThe wifi, which is absolutely necessary as there is no LTE-connection, didn't work well, hence presently not suitable for work, at least in the suite we had.
Nearly everything was perfect! The personnel fulfilled every wish the friend I booked it for had and a hotel can organise. It's situated at an amazing location and there was a free upgrade to a large suite as well.
