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...).

JapanI had not been told in advance that there was no washing machine in the room, but in the basement, so I did not use it. What a shame. The air conditioner was not a permanent installation in the building, but a portable cooler. It was insufficient for the recent heatwave, but I made do by taking showers and making ice in the freezer, so it was quite comfortable. I understand that in Europe it is difficult to add a wall-mounted air conditioner later, so a portable cooler will be required.
Communication with the owner was extremely smooth. The room was spacious and clean. The table was large and comfortable. The terrace had a nice view, there were no bugs, and I was able to relax and enjoy my coffee.

SwitzerlandThe communication with the host wasn't very smooth, however, in the end all was sorted out.
The apartment is very nice, clean, well equipped. I was very much satisfied staying there. I can recommend it, if you look for an option in this part of Basel.

IsraelThe neighborhood is rather dull, but there’s a supermarket right next door and a tram stop just a few minutes’ walk away. The convention center is also about a 7–8 minute walk. One additional point is the check-in process. The host does send detailed instructions, and if you read them carefully and attentively, there shouldn’t be any problem. However, it’s easy to get confused because there is more than one apartment under the host’s name in the building. Also, the city tax must be paid in cash only (or via bank transfer, which isn’t really practical for someone coming from abroad)
I was really pleasantly surprised. The apartment is very beautiful, comfortable, spacious, and clean, with a small and lovely balcony. It’s fully equipped with everything you need. 10/10. The price is very low compared to what you get.

GermanyThe communication with the owner was terrible, I had to called him several times to know how to check-in. I informed him about my arrival time but check-in remained at 7pm. The apartment looked clean but the bedsheets were stinking. I informed him about it.
The apartment looks exactly as in the pictures. It offers the basic features for a short stay. The best is the balcony.

RomaniaThe 19:00 check-in was too late, as we arrived in Basel in the morning. If even we asked the host to store a small luggage till 19:00, he refused us. Also, communication with the host was poor as it could only be done in writing, which was difficult.
Nice and clean studio, exactly as on the pictures.

North MacedoniaThe only negative thing is that when we checked in, there was no heating and we were freezing all night, but the owner of the apartment sincerely tried to solve that problem in the morning, which I hope will not allow such an unpleasant situation to occur in the future.
The apartment is modernly furnished, clean, has everything you need for a short stay. The location is great, close to the center.

PolandOur experience was unfortunately quite disappointing. We had no contact with the host at all, and even though we sent all our details in advance, we never received the Basel Card. This meant we couldn’t use any of the local discounts, which was a big letdown. The bed linen hadn’t been changed and had an unpleasant smell, the same with the towels – they didn’t feel fresh at all. While the place looked fairly clean at first, it quickly became obvious that basic things were overlooked. Some dishes were dirty, and it just didn’t feel properly prepared for guests. We were expecting something much better based on the listing, but sadly, it didn’t live up to it.

CanadaVery hot during the heat wave, and no fans in the apartment. The small AC unit we found tucked away had no instructions and didn't fit the window. Fridge froze our groceries!
Quiet, residential neighborhood that felt safe to walk at night. Amenities like a grocery and pharmacy close by, and only minutes from Basel Bad Bf. Great kitchen and bathroom, lovely small private balcony, and appreciated the building and apartment security. Excellent communication.

United StatesThe host was TERRIBLE with communication. I had a late check in of 19:00. That is the time you're supposed to receive the code to enter. I did not receive it. I contacted the host & she would either not respond, or say things like "have you read the isntructions?". I was sitting on the steps until after 20:00. I had read the instructions & the way the badly written instructions were written is that they wanted the passport details to get a Basel card for you (not to receive the code to the apartment). The host also did not reply when I reached out to booking.com to reach out to her.
Beautiful apartment & very comfortable bed.
