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 reviewCleanliness of the room. Perfect and silent location. The Basel travel card is offered to travel in OV for free during the stay. Early check-in at 2 PM was perfect for resting and working in the afternoon. Beautiful park around Close to Spalentor and Peterskirche
The AC was a big ceiling fan. I was quite surprised at the beginning, but it was doing an excellent job of cooling down the room. So not really a negative point.
Thank you very much for your kind review and your excellent rating. We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed your stay with us and appreciated the cleanliness, peaceful location, and convenient early check-in. It’s great to know that the Basel Travel Card and the nearby sights added to your experience.

Verified reviewNice building and setting in a park.
Breakfast was very limited No air conditioning in the rooms
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We’re happy to hear that you enjoyed the charm of our historic building and the peaceful setting in the park. We’re sorry to hear that the breakfast did not fully meet your expectations. We are continuously working on improving our breakfast selection and your comments help us identify where we can do better. Regarding the air conditioning: as our building is quite old, installing air conditioning in the rooms is technically challenging. However, we do provide fans in all rooms and are happy to assist with any comfort-related requests during your stay. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you again and provide you with an even more pleasant stay. Warm regards, Your Hotel ODELYA Team

Verified reviewLovely renovated rooms in a beautiful building. The buffet breakfast was excellent and the check-in staff were efficient and helpful. Our Basel cards were sent through by email before our arrival so we could use them as soon as we landed at the airport. The hotel is conveniently situated 5 minutes from the old town (at Spalentor) and on the no. 3 tramline.
There was really nothing at all!

Verified reviewIn general a good hotel and quiet / central place to stay. They were very helpful and have "fishbags" (clothing bags) available in case you want to enjoy a swim / float in the river Rhine. Good breakfast.
Nothing really. It was a bit warm in the room, but windows could be opened fully and a ventilator was provided.
Thank you very much for your positive feedback! We are delighted that you appreciated the charm of our house and the service we provide.
