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...).

CyprusThe noise from restaurant was very bad on our 2nd night stay there, the restaurant was full with lots of people using the restroom which is next to the apartment and shouting and laughing until late. The pillows and beds are awful, the lighting is very dim and the floor boards creek a lot. There is no elevator. We were with children and the layout as described in other reviews is not suitable, as two beds are by the main entrance not a room, and the toilet is in the one bedroom, so if anyone needs to use the toilet at night everyone gets woken up. This is a great option for a group of adults for a night or two stay looking for simplicity to enjoy the city.

SwitzerlandIn summer, it was a bit too hot, but again, the accommodating host provided us with a fan. The apartment is set up more for dormitory sleeping accommodations, which was great for the 5 of us (including dog - pet friendly!), but there's no living space (couch, chair, etc.).
Arriving with a car made it a bit challenging to find, but host was so accommodating via phone and whatsapp to provide step by step instructions. Location for loading and unloading a car not ideal, but for touring the city, you couldn't be any more central. Ideally located for seeing the sites. After a two week holiday of tour biking, this was a perfect break from hotel living and camping, this apartment was perfect for a group who just wanted to chill at home, have a home-cooked meal, not have to out and about and RELAX.

New Zealand- We knew there would be no air con but it was very hot. We kept the windows open which meant there was city noise till quite late - is just a trade off for the great location but did make sleep quite disturbed - The apartment is old and very basic. The windows / shutters don’t all work, there is a toilet pipe that runs across the bedroom ceiling, the floors / beds are very creaky noisy etc
- Fantastic location - Excellent communication from the host throughout eg. for check in, arranging Basel cards and checking our stay was going well - The apartment is quite large

United KingdomWe would have loved a sofa, instead of a bed/s in every room. It was quite basic. We thought if there were 6 adults it would be a struggle to share the one tiny bathroom. Having read the other reviews my expectations were not super high, so overall very happy with our stay. Tourist tax is payable on arrival. Having been to Switzerland a few times we knew this, but others may not and it should be clearer on the booking.
We were right in the centre, fantastic location. Our hosts were lovely, really helpful. The apartment was spacious for the three of us and clean.

SwitzerlandBeds and matresses are very cheap. Very bad pillows. It's not a three bedroom apartment. There's technically only one bedroom. But beds are located in the entrance room, living room and in a bedroom with a double mattress in the back. To reach the bedroom in the back where also the only bathroom is located you need to pass through all rooms.
Great location & spacious apartment.
