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.).

BelgiumIt appears that, unlike on the hotel's page, at the booking.com site it is not possible to select backyard rooms. The street-view rooms are sound-proof, but it is not possible to let the window open during the night - the street noise is too loud. Thanks to the staff, I could get for a half of my stay a backyard room, but for the other half I had to move to the street-view one, with a less comfortable sleep as a result.
It is a very conveniently located (close to the railway station and the city center) hotel. Rooms are comfortable. Staff is helpful. Very good breakfast buffet (including my favorite porridge). Good wifi connection.

United KingdomWe struggled with the plug. It wasn't very secure in the wall!
The staff were superb. We want to particularly thank Samuel who served us our complimentary drink at the bar and was an interesting chap who told us a little about Swiss life. The record player in the room made us smile, and though we didn't use it, it was a unique feature, a nice touch. We opted for breakfast in the gorgeous peaceful garden. It was the most glorious variety of food and drink - by far the best we have experienced around the world!

United KingdomWe had such a wonderful stay! The staff were friendly and helpful, and our room was spotless and well-organised. We loved the coffee machine, the fan, and the radio, not to mention the fantastic shower. They even welcomed us with complimentary drinks! We wouldn't think twice about staying here again. The location is perfect—just a quick 10-minute walk from bus 50 from the airport, or you can take bus 30 from the station, which is really close to the bus stop. Plus, there's a lovely garden where you can relax after a day of exploring. I highly recommend buying a dry bag to join the locals swimming along the Rhine and soaking up the summer sun. It's such a fun way to enjoy the area!

UkraineThe bathroom was rather small. I found the breakfast overpriced even for Switzerland, so I didn't try it.
I was quite satisfied with this hotel. The room was rather large, had a big bed, an armchair, a table, a TV, a wardrobe. Everything was clean and in good condition. Free WiFi worked well. It was sufficiently quiet at night. The bed was comfortable. The bathroom was small, but clean and functional. Air conditioning worked really well in the scorching heat (I visited during a heatwave). The staff was very friendly and helpful. The location is good, walking distance to both the attractions in the old town and to the train station. There are plenty of restaurants on Steinenvorstadt nearby. While the hotel is rather expensive on an absolute scale, this is Switzerland, so everything is expensive. It is quite reasonable compared to other hotels in Basel.

United StatesNot the hotels fault but was a little hard to navigate from the train station to the hotel. There's a lot of streets overlaping eachother which can be a little confusing if you're walking.
The staff was very friendly and let us check in pretty early. The location is close to the train station and close to the old city. There were food options close enough by. The free sparkling water tap was a nice touch. I think this is a swiss thing but the hotel had free publich transit cards to use. I believe you can also get these cards before you check in also which is nice if you're coming from the airport.
