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 KingdomThe room was really hot, even with the air on cold it was hard to sleep with the heat in the room. We visited in March and it wasn’t even that hot outside. Not sure if it was because we were on the top floor or that the hotel is always really hot.
Excellent location, large room and friendly staff

SwitzerlandToilet was blocked on our arrival. Offered a repair the next morning (not an appropriate solution) or a room change. Went to reception to change keys, was offered no apology for the inconvenience and kept waiting for 10 minutes whilst the receptionist stared at his computer and helped his colleague with other guests. Felt this was a poor level of service and said I wasn’t happy, asked for an upgrade given the circumstances which was given gracelessly. Bathroom door in new room didn’t close properly and was right next to the bed - not very romantic for a couple’s weekend away! Generally felt the hotel needed to pay more attention to detail, it felt generally impersonal.
Walking distance to the train station, old town and zoo. Good selection for breakfast. Comfortable bed. Pool a good size and interesting if you like 70’s architecture. Enrico in the fitness area was friendly.

SwitzerlandThe room is a bit dark for me. The room that we stayed, the bathroom had a broken door but we reported it. There are few option in the breakfast buffet but I believe if you have preference you can order it ahead.
The location, the ambiance, the staff, the inclusion of the use of the facilities including the swimming pool of the hotel, and mostly the employees working at the hotel. They are all smiling and very welcoming with their guests.

United KingdomAir condition rather noisy at night, observed in all rooms (4). Balcony top floor unable to access, possibly because of healthy and safety issues! Despite that possible reason, the floor could be cleaned and weeded, possibly put some pots of trees, shrubberies in place to make it look nice and attractive! The present state of balcony floor looked filthy, unclean and derelict, in need of attention and clean-up! This doesn’t reflect the rest of the indoor cleanness and tidiness! Lift floor and corridor carpets may need revamping! This is just a constructive criticism, hope you don’t mind us saying!
Excellent breakfast, centrally located, close to amenities, could participate in carnival activities etc…

United KingdomWe arrived before the check in time and our room was not ready. I would have appreciated them sharing the Basel card and travel card with us at the point we arrived so we could use it for the rest of the day even though it was not possible to check in. The staff seemed a bit disengaged and distracted and not super attentive.

IrelandThe TV was old so we couldn’t connect our phone to the tv to watch a movie. And the shower was quite old and a tight squeeze so not massively comfortable.
Location was great from the airport and then super close to the city for site seeing. The pool and steam room was lovely and the staff there were extra helpful. The room was a great size and the bed was extra comfortable.

HungaryWe saw with our own eyes prostitutes entering the hotel in the evening, dressed rather poorly, while the receptionists hid in their offices. When I booked our room, I thought that this hotel was not a suburban B&B where you could rent a room by the hour, but I may have been wrong. I think this is extremely embarrassing.
The breakfast was very varied. I liked that there was also vegan and gluten-free food on offer.
