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 reviewI can't fault this hotel. Huge room, lovely and clean, easy to find, easy access to trams and the old town just over the bridge. Coffee machine and other refreshments in reception was a bonus. The patio was great.
The room was so hot, no air con, but there was a large fan.

Verified reviewGorgeous hotel in an excellent location. We absolutely loved our stay. Our room overlooked the garden at the back of the property and we did not want to leave. The room was so clean and comfortable with lots of lovely little extras in the room including a free minibar. The bed was huge and the pillows and bedding were amazing. The breakfast was also very good and all the staff were friendly and helpful. Would definitely return!
Nothing negative at all to say about this place.

Verified reviewWe'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.
It was hot!

Verified reviewHotel 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.
Like 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.
Dear Filippo, Thank you very much for your kind feedback. We are pleased to hear that you enjoyed our location, coffee corner, minibar, and the service provided by our team. We apologise for any discomfort caused by the summer heat. While our rooms do not have air conditioning, fans, cool drinks in the minibar, and cooled bed linens are available on request. We truly appreciate your understanding and hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you back to Basel in the future. Best regards, Carolina Sosa Correa Assistent Front Office Manager

Verified reviewLovely 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.
No 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).
Dear Artiom, thank you for your kind review! We’re glad you enjoyed our friendly staff, great location, and the balcony with a nice view. While our rooms do not have air conditioning, we provide fans and cooled linen to ensure a comfortable stay, and complimentary cold drinks are available in the minibar. We hope to welcome you back soon. Best regards, Carolina Sosa Correa Assistent Front Office Manager

Verified reviewThe 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.
Only 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.
Dar Barry, Thank you very much for your detailed and positive review! We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed our great location, the peaceful garden, and our friendly and attentive staff. It’s wonderful that you appreciated the room amenities and the breakfast buffet, as well as our family-friendly facilities like the playroom. Regarding the breakfast cold cuts, we offer five different varieties of meat slices at the buffet to ensure a good selection for our guests. We appreciate your feedback and will continue to strive for the best experience. We hope to welcome you again soon for another enjoyable stay! Kind regards, Nicole Wernig (Front Office Manager)
