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.).

IndiaCurrently, the tramlines in the area near the hotel were under maintenance for a couple of months. This was a temporary inconvenience. But alternatives were 4-5 minutes walk away
The location is convenient for reaching the train station and city centre areas. There are tram services just outside the hotel. The swimming pool is of a good size for a proper swim. The fitness centre is adequately equipped. The staff are friendly and helpful

United KingdomWe were very disappointed about the breakfast which was located in some sort of conference room which reminded us of a large gym hall This was apparently due to some drag show brunch event. We were very disappointed as this ruined our whole hotel experience.

United KingdomThe property was ok but not exceptional, the disappointing aspect was the staff. On first arrival they were smiley happy and welcoming. Once checked, the staff never smiled or said good morning. It appeared that their training ( should not need training) is to welcome and then ignore guests. Oddly the cleaning staff were must more cheerful and friendly, always saying good morning etc.
It’s location on this occasion was just about as good as it gets

The main reason for booking this hotel was that the children enjoy swimming and exercising. We originally planned to relax and engage in leisure activities at the hotel. However, the water in the swimming pool was a bit cold and not temperature-controlled. Additionally, the gym staff informed us that even with parental supervision, children were not allowed to use the treadmill, making it the only hotel I've stayed at that doesn't allow children to use exercise equipment under parental supervision.

Staff were extremely friendly and helpful. The hotel was immaculate and very modern. Room was a good size. Extremely good location. Only a 5minute walk from Basel zoo (highly recommend) and you can be on the high street in a couple of minutes, altstadt not much further.

Turkeyfirst, we were mistakenly given a room that was occupied by other guests. then we changed rooms and checked into a room that had constant flow of room spray. We left the windows open the whole day, but the mysterious room spray kept getting refreshed. they couldn't find the source of that smell, but the whole room stank of cheap room spray. on the second night we asked to change room again, and we were checked into a room that had an unlocked door that connected to the adjacent room, so we had to wait for somebody to come and lock the connecting doors. the breakfast time was so crowded that it was hard to find a table.
