How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewWe 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.
Nothing. Met and exceeded our expectations.
Hi Sharon, Thank you so much for the perfect 10/10 rating and your wonderful review! We're absolutely thrilled that we exceeded your expectations during your stay. It's fantastic to hear that you found our staff friendly and helpful, enjoyed the comfort of your room and bed, and made the most of our excellent location near the river and local restaurants. We're also delighted that our proximity to the Rhine cruise dock worked out so well for your travel plans. We completely understand why you wished you could have stayed longer! Please know that you're always welcome back at Basel Marriott Hotel - we'd love to host you for more than two nights next time. Thank you for recommending us to fellow Rhine cruise travelers. Your kind words mean the world to our entire team. Looking forward to welcoming you back soon! Best regards, Basel Marriott Hotel Team

Verified reviewThe location was great. The buffet breakfast was good too. The room spacious.
The smell of the rooms were awful. Perhaps there was an issue with the airfreshner used as it was very strong. It gave the impression that they were masking another odour?
Dear Alia, Thank you for your honest feedback and for taking the time to share your experience with us. We're pleased that you appreciated our prime location, enjoyed the breakfast buffet, and found your room spacious. However, we sincerely apologize for the unpleasant odor issue in your room - this is absolutely not acceptable for a hotel of our caliber. Your concern about strong air freshener potentially masking other odors is taken very seriously. We have immediately escalated this to our housekeeping management and facilities team to investigate our room preparation procedures and ventilation systems. Every room should have fresh, clean air without any need for masking agents. We would very much appreciate the opportunity to welcome you back and demonstrate the true standards of Basel Marriott Hotel. Please don't hesitate to contact us directly to discuss your next stay. Thank you for helping us improve. Sincerely, Basel Marriott Hotel Team

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
Upon 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

Verified reviewThey had 400kb/s wifi, I had to work on friday so I spent 4 hours trying to find a coworking space that will be open friday evening mid holidays, couldn’t find anything and I had to book raddison blu because that was the only place in Basel that has acceptable wifi speed apparently. Awful stay, my trip was throughoughly ruined, front desk stuff was totally useless and suffice to say I’m never staying in Marriott ever again.
Dear Mr. Dmirtrii, Thank you for your honest feedback. We sincerely regret to hear about the issues you experienced with the Wi-Fi connection and the impact it had on your work and overall stay. We understand how important a stable and fast internet connection is, especially when traveling for business or needing to work remotely. We’re very sorry that our network did not meet your expectations and that you had to spend valuable time looking for alternatives. This is certainly not the experience we aim to provide. We also regret that you felt let down by our front desk team. Your comments will be shared with the relevant departments for review, and we will take appropriate steps to improve our service and communication. While we understand your disappointment, we truly hope you might reconsider and give us another opportunity to provide you with the quality and comfort you rightfully expect. Kind regards, Stefan Vasianovych Duty Manager

Bedroom is very bad, cleaning service was horrible they wouldn’t remove dirty glasses or towels on the floor. Minibar was extremely poor and never replaced. Bathroom has no windows or good ventilation so it is always extremely humid. The hotel is very very expensive for what it is It feels like a 2 star hotel for the price of a 5 star hotel Never going back again

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.
Everything was good.
