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.).

AustraliaNothing. Met and exceeded our expectations.
We loved this hotel, very friendly & helpful staff. The room was superb and the bed & pillows so so comfortable disappointed we only stayed 2 nights. Only ten minutes to the river with a free concert on the Saturday night, Also some great restaurants nearby. We’d happily stay again and can recommend this hotel especially if going on a cruise down the Rhine as the dock is a 20 minute walk or a 5 minute taxi away.

United Arab EmiratesUpon cleaning the number of bath towels left were incorrect but this was quickly resolved. Having Lock on the bathroom door would be a good addition
Excellent breakfast , Great location with walking distance to the centre and tram services opposite the hotel. Welcoming staff. Club room access was an extra bonus offering refreshments and a few snacks and sweets. Basel card was great with half price of admission to places like the zoo and free public transport

IndiaEverything was good.
The location was excellent because it was right next to the Congress center where my conference happened - Wordcamp. and it had restaurants nearby which was very helpful for my team dinner. Also, it had good breakfast and an excellent Gym which helped me a lot during my stay. Room was neat and clean and had everything i needed. Plus I got a good room where sun light was falling through the windows which was excellent.

United StatesIt was a little expensive. We did not get the breakfast at the hotel but found cappuccinos and pastries etc. close by for much less.
Independently booked a night in preparation for a Viking Cruise with our friends. There was a Viking desk that just happened to be there which was helpful to find our dock. It seems Viking uses this hotel for the pre cruise package. Comfortable bed and nice bar/ lounge downstairs. They held our luggage since our room was not ready. Concierge was helpful and quite friendly. It is close to the Convention Center and Sbahn stop.

United StatesView was somewhat limited though a "port hole" style window and view as of convention center; interesting architecture, but not a splendid city view.
Very nice room and well-functional bathroom. The room was spacious, bed was comfortable and everything functioned and was easy to use. Just a few steps from the local trolley that's free with hotel-provided City Card.

The breakfast was very good, well stocked, all tastes and diet needs catered for. Caring staff. Bed was a little firm, and pillows soft. Very glad we stayed there and would stay there again. It is a little further from the old town but a tram is at the door and the hotel gave us a free tram pass.

SwitzerlandRoom was slightly overheated (can be adjusted) and the heater (fan) made some noise during the night.
Hotel is conveniently situated next to the messe and tram stops. The tram brings you to the city center in a few minutes. A stay at Marriott grants you the Basel Card (free public transportation + 50% off activities such as museums). That was a huge plus. The room is spacious and clean. Modern room + bathroom. I appreciated the kind gesture of a hand written note and chocolate cake for my birthday.
