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.).

United KingdomAlthough we booked a premium room it was quite dark with a view over a concrete roof and other windows of the hotel. Having said that it’s a city centre building and it was at least quiet.
Convenient location for main railway station. Good choice at breakfast.

ChinaIt would be great if the personnel told us of the city tax situation during check-in, was rather unpleasant hearing about it for the first time during check-out (first time Switzerland goers might benefit from this info). The gym is quite small but supposedly sufficient.
Very nice selection of continental breakfast, fantastic swimming pool facilities and super clean rooms. Beautiful and spacious room (especially the bathroom)

SingaporeHousekeeping missed cleaning our room twice and we went those days with no replenishment or tidy. I’m also certain house keeping kept my shampoo, which I came back to claim but no one could locate . I stay in hotels often and the few times I’ve left something , I can come back and the item is in lost of found. While I take responsibility for leaving an item behind , it’s dishonest to keep something that isn’t yours.

AustraliaFor a "chain" hotel this absolutely met all my expectations. Hey the room may not have been as quaint or as well decorated as other smaller hotels, but it was large, functional and as pictured. The breakfast was excellent and staff very helpful. Location is great - right next to a tram line down or walking distance to lots of attractions.

NetherlandsDouble rooms have two separate mattresses, and the thing they bring to merge them creates a bump, which makes things even worse..
The stuff is very friendly and helpful. Rooms are clean and have all you need. We had a wonderful quiet room facing the courtyard, so no view, but waking up to singing birds was so nice :) Breakfast is amazing, fantastic location. Really recommended!

United KingdomThe toilets in some of the rooms are (almost) open plan. I had not stayed I such rooms before and it was a bit of a shock. If privacy is important to you, please ask for a different room.
The breakfast was great, the location is excellent, the Zoo is nearby and so is the art museum. We love the hotel and come back to it when we need to stay in Basel.

United KingdomThe room was really hot, even with the air on cold it was hard to sleep with the heat in the room. We visited in March and it wasn’t even that hot outside. Not sure if it was because we were on the top floor or that the hotel is always really hot.
Excellent location, large room and friendly staff

SwitzerlandToilet was blocked on our arrival. Offered a repair the next morning (not an appropriate solution) or a room change. Went to reception to change keys, was offered no apology for the inconvenience and kept waiting for 10 minutes whilst the receptionist stared at his computer and helped his colleague with other guests. Felt this was a poor level of service and said I wasn’t happy, asked for an upgrade given the circumstances which was given gracelessly. Bathroom door in new room didn’t close properly and was right next to the bed - not very romantic for a couple’s weekend away! Generally felt the hotel needed to pay more attention to detail, it felt generally impersonal.
Walking distance to the train station, old town and zoo. Good selection for breakfast. Comfortable bed. Pool a good size and interesting if you like 70’s architecture. Enrico in the fitness area was friendly.

SwitzerlandThe room is a bit dark for me. The room that we stayed, the bathroom had a broken door but we reported it. There are few option in the breakfast buffet but I believe if you have preference you can order it ahead.
The location, the ambiance, the staff, the inclusion of the use of the facilities including the swimming pool of the hotel, and mostly the employees working at the hotel. They are all smiling and very welcoming with their guests.
