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.).

SpainOn a noise street, on a Saturday night, you will need the provided earplugs! The open layout of the bathroom is for very well acquainted people. Also the entrance and elevator is direct street access so anyone can access without a key, it felt a bit unsafe, but then again it’s Basel..! 😅
All clean, central location, amazing breakfast 😍

SwitzerlandThe terrace was a lovely addition, providing a nice spot to relax, even though we did have a minor view obstruction due to a building renovation nearby—something beyond the hotel’s control.
I recently had the pleasure of spending 3 nights in a junior suite with a terrace at the Art House Hotel in Basel, and I'm recommending it. The location is perfect—situated right in the heart of Basel yet in a calm area, allowing for a peaceful retreat after a day of town exploration. Plus, it's just a 2 minute walk from a parking facility, which was very convenient. The room itself was modern, spacious, and very comfortable for two people. We truly enjoyed our time there. The terrace was a lovely addition, providing a nice spot to relax, even though we did have a minor view obstruction due to a building renovation nearby—something beyond the hotel’s control. We also enjoyed the rooftop area, which offered a nice terrace and a very good selection of wine. If you're looking for a well-placed, comfortable hotel in Basel, I highly recommend the junior suite at Art House. It provided everything we needed for a very nice stay.

SwedenThe only thing that I didn’t appreciate was that the cleaning lady entered the hotel room 10 am twice which was too early. This was a minor thing though and overall this is a great hotel.
Allergy friendly mold free hotel which is key for me with mold allergies. Really lovely helpful staff and perfect location. Would highly recommend this hotel.

United KingdomThe only thing that could be an issue, and I did not know of when booking, is the lack of air con as per local environmental legislation. The room in early March felt a bit warm and stuffy and I would prefer a colder room to sleep in. I imagine the room could be baking hot in the summer!
A stylish and comfortable hotel in a central location. Rooms are spacious, stylish and have everything you need. Very comfortable bed, good shower and even a free minibar (mainly soft drinks). Buffet breakfast was exceptional and served in the rooftop bar, which is a great place for a cocktail too. I stayed during the week and it was quiet, although I can imagine at weekends the bars on the street would be loud.
