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...).

BulgariaI recommend this place to have flexible late check-outs and early check-ins when available. The lobby area is also very comfortable, offering free Wi-Fi if you need to wait.
I was pleasantly surprised by the accommodation in this city, as it offered easily accessible and comfortable amenities. I recommend it to anyone on a short trip to Basel.

PolandIt can be noisy at night. I could hear everything from the corridor and the rooms next door.
The place is very well thought out and well maintained. It has all you need for a short stay on a budget. The room was clean and so were the public areas and the bathrooms. Very convenient location, five minute away from the main train station of Basel.

SpainThe rooms are poorly soundproofed so I woke up to the noise of someone using the hairdryer in the shared shower room at 7 am.
Great hostel. A few minutes walking from Basel SBB station. You can do the check-in online and they send you a message when your room is ready so you can enter. There's a kitchen, laundry and luggage room. I like the fact that they have single private rooms, so you can have privacy with the fun hostel atmosphere.

TurkeyThere’s nothing I didn’t like about the hostel, but I think it’s a lot of money for a city like Basel.
The room was very clean and the beds were comfortable. Everybody had their own large locker. Social facilities were good, it had a small garden and a large cafe/socialising area. The hostel was really close to the main train station and a supermarket. Also the staff were really friendly and helpful. Thank you Alex!

I like the concept of using Bluetooth for keycards. I didn’t even meet the reception during check-in and check-out. Great location which is near the Basel Main Station. Clean rooms and water closets as well.

United KingdomToilets felt a little dated but still satisfied.
Firstly, as a solo traveller the pod was great in terms of offering security and privacy while also being cheap. First pod I was allocated the usb charger didn't work - staff immediately swapped me to a new pod no fuss. I arrived late and left early but would happily have spent much longer at the accommodation.
