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.).

Czech RepublicThere was a slight cigarette smoke odor in the room upon arrival despite the fact the hotel rooms were non-smoking. When communicated this to the administration via WA, they did not respond.
The room is centrally located and easy to walk to/from. It's basic but met the expectations based on the photos provided. The communication with the administration was solely via WA, but they responded quick and gave the right check-in/out instructions. It was a lively and somewhat loud neighborhood - we didn't mind but something to be aware of. Basic accommodation but overall a good value for the money.

BrazilThe service left much to be desired, as there was no one available to assist us on-site. We tried to connect with customer support through chat, which is advertised as 24/7 and immediate. However, I ended up waiting about 30 minutes to speak with someone. At least I was able to reconnect with a representative to discuss issues and clarify information on the website. Their support system could definitely use improvements to make it more user-friendly and easier to communicate with. Overall, they could streamline the check-in process, as it felt inefficient having to go through so many steps and waiting at the door. There is definitely room for improvement in that area.
The room was decent, but there was no AC, so you had to rely on the fan for ventilation durring summer. The building it's actually quite old, but the overall settings were acceptable. The pricing site was definitely the highlight. It was somewhat worth renting a hotel instead of trying to get a locker at the train station with my luggage, and that's why we chose to do it. The location is near Center and the Old Town of the ciry. It’s not the typical old gold village you might imagine, but it has its own charm and style. Basel isn’t that big, so getting around was manageable.

United StatesLoved the room with the balcony. I spent much time out there relaxing. The bed was comfortable and while the shower/toilet were a bit tight, it was nice having them in my room. The location was great with the tram 8 just around the corner that got me downtown in a few minutes. But it was also a nice walk too. Cafe Fruhling four blocks away has delightful bake goods, coffee and tea

Estonia- big rubbish bags (full) right next to my room… not very welcoming - the water in the wash basin was getting stuck - no soundproof walls, on the opposite - I heard pretty much everything my neighbours were saying and doing (and they weren’t noisy!) - a bit loud outside at night - no cups (just the small coffee ones - they’re too small for the biggest coffee size!), no tea (only coffee), no cutlery available - no fridge :( - I only received the Basel card at the checkin time which means I had to pay the full price for the attractions I purchased before checking in on the same day…
- smooth checkin experience, clear instructions - bathtub in the bathroom - cosy common areas, books in multiple languages available - decent coffee (worth the 1chf ;) - location - walkable from the city centre and main attractions in Basel - fan in the room (made up for no AC!) - great value for money if you need privacy - the price is comparable to hostels and you get the whole space for yourself - clean
