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.).

We've often stayed in this comfortable hotel; it's not huge and impersonal but on a human scale. The location is ideal: it's close to the excellent public transport and an easy walk across the river to the city or around Kleine Basel. The staff are friendly, helpful and efficient, the breakfasts are excellent and provided in a very attractive, light and airy dining area opening on to the gardens. There is a range of good facilities.

ItalyLike other hotels, the room has no air conditioning, but only a fan, which is not very effective in cooling the space. The only source of ventilation is the window, but with temperatures around 30°C, it can be difficult to sleep without suffering from the heat. Therefore, in summer it is advisable to stay only for short periods.
Hotel in a central location, convenient for moving freely around the city. The property offers a space where guests can use the coffee machine free of charge, as well as full access to the minibar in the room. The professionalism and courtesy of the staff, along with the cleanliness, were much appreciated.

LithuaniaNo air conditioning, it was a hot day, so a fan helped just a bit. Opened windows are OK, when traffic is low (during the night).
Lovely hotel with very helpful and friendly stuff. The location is great, almost next to bus/tram stop. Handy free Basel card - for free public transport and discounts for some museums. I had a room with balcony, so spent my evening there with a nice view.

United KingdomOnly minor comments. The room had no air con so it did heat up during the day but temperature was acceptable at night. Limited selection of cold meats at breakfast - somewhat unusual for a central European hotel in our experience.
The hotel is located a 5mins walk from the Rhine and next to a busy road but the hotel was surprisingly quiet and peaceful. Trams are nearby for transfers across the city e.g. across the bridge over the Rhine to the old town. Our room overlooked a quiet, shady garden that offered very welcome relief from the hot weather. Free tea and coffee was available at all times and could be enjoyed when relaxing in the garden. The room had good facilities: an enormous bed, good lighting and a fully equipped bathroom (but no bath). Good buffet breakfast with plenty of fruit, bread, cheese and pastries. Some cooked food too. Other facilities: Kids play room (very good for families with small children) and small gym available. Staff very welcoming and pleasant throughout our stay.

HungaryNo AC in room, the street traffic and the fan provided is too loud to sleep when windows opened. This only counts on hotter summer days - otherwise it is not a problem at all.
Breakfast, location, free coffe & refreshers, game room, nice and peaceful garden, cleanliness, friendly staff. Worth the money.

United KingdomThe room was really warm in summer. There was a fan and the window opened quite wide but it was stuffy weather so the fan was just blowing hot air around. I imagine the insulation would be good in winter.
The staff were really friendly, we were able to check in early when we initially arrived to drop our bags off, which was nice. The hotel and room was clean and spacious. The free drinks and coffee were a nice touch and the complimentary drinks in the room were good, and also replaced during our stay. The bathroom was clean and the shower pressure was good. Location was really close to transport links and getting around the city and to/from the airport was easy. The area felt safe.

FranceThe only negative point was when we went to the car park to leave at 4:45 am for our flight, our car had been blocked by another car that had been allowed to park in front of us. That made us very stressed so I want to thank the security guard for moving the car quickly and allowing us to leave on time
We only spent one night there but as we arrived early, the woman at reception upgraded us to give us a room straight away, so thank you for that. The room and staff were lovely. We had a nice stay.

United KingdomAll we needed for a 2 night stay. Comfy, clean and walking distance to the town centre and the river. They even gave us free public transport passes as part of our booking so we could use the trams or buses. Would definitely stay again. Staff were always friendly and helpful, and we were even able to check in a bit earlier after requesting it.
