Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.

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...).

BelgiumNothing really, we were very happy. There was no parking spot available but there was (free) public parking very nearby so this was no issue. There seemed to be some bug in their online registration system when we were there but again this was absolutely not an issue as staff at the reception was exceptionally helpful.
Everything was top: friendly staff (the family room we initially booked was too hot without air conditioning so we got 2 double rooms with airco for the same price without even asking), very comfortable rooms, stylish design, perfect breakfast, romantic and very refined dinner outside under the trees, walking distance from the amazing Beyeler foundation.

United KingdomRoom was very small. It was rather warm and as usual the bed covering was too hot. The restaurant was expensive although we may have just been getting used to Swiss prices. We were overcharged at the restaurant. It was corrected with apologies but unclear whether this was a genuine mistake.
Beautifully renovated property, all fixtures and fittings were very high quality. Fantastic breakfast. Good location right by tram stop. Good restaurant on site. Excellent shower. Free tea and coffee available in common area. Welcoming staff.

United KingdomUnfortunately the only downside this property has is the location it’s slightly outside of the main city, which for some people may be a better alternative, there’s a train station a short walk away and trains run frequently into the city centre, with a journey time of around 15 minutes.
The property is beautiful and the rooms are incredibly clean, comfortable and spacious. The staff are fantastic and really polite as well as being helpful, the property doubles up as a restaurant but this really isn’t an issue the sound proofing is excellent and doesn’t interfere with your stay, I didn’t have the chance to eat in the restaurant however I heard nothing but positive things from guests.

IrelandWe were in the extra rooms across the small street. We found the noises from other guests on the landing very loud. Also there's a hairdryer in the room, but it has a German plug, not a swiss plug so we couldn't use it in the room though it was provided. One last small detail- at breakfast the cereal listed as Corn Flakes were not what I'd consider Corn Flakes, which are unsweetened, but they were Frosted Flakes which have a sugary coating ... In fact all the cereals were sugary cereal and a plain unsweetened cereal would have been nice. These 3 things were very small details and did not keep me from giving the accomodation 10 out of 10
We absolutely loved our stay. The newly renovated spaces are so warm and welcoming. The little touches like the great smelling hand soap and shampoos were incredible. We ate at the hotel restaurant one night and were impressed. The staff were all so helpful and kind. We loved the waterfall shower and the lovely towels. The added touch of the Basler Pass was incredible!

United StatesBased on the exceptional 8.9 rating by Booking.com I was happy to spend a bit more money to stay here. I selected Breakfast Included but it was an extra charge (20CHF) for minimal buffet. The sound was terrible, any little noise outside the room was very loud. Lightning in the room was very poor, too dark. The connection between the A/C unit and the controller was broken and took a while to figure out how to get it to work.
Staff was nice and helpful, location
