Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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 Wifi. 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 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...).

United KingdomThe breakfasts, to my mind, didn't live up to billing. Not as impressive as we had expected from what we'd read on the website. We've had worse but we've also had much better. The other thing was that breakfast was served in a fairly compact area, which at times became a bit frenetic when a lot of guests arrived at the same time. Staff struggled to clear tables and ensure that products were topped up.
The hotel is in an excellent location, less than a 5-minute walk from the river Rhine and the riverside paths and cafes. It's easy to get there from the airport using the efficient and very regular public transport. The number 50 bus from the airport takes you into Basel SBB train station and there is a regular tram service directly opposite the station. Very convenient. Despite the breakfast comment, we wouldn't rule out another stay. It's worth mentioning that you can show your hotel booking details to enjoy free public transport from the airport. The hotel will issue guests with a Basel Card on arrival. This offers free transport throughout your stay as well as discounts to several attractions such as the zoo and some museums.

AustraliaWoken up by staff + guests speaking loudly outside the room. I was quite jetlagged but it was after 9pm as that is when I fell asleep.
Convenient location next to the tram stop and bus stops. Also close to the river. The room is clean and comfy. The bathroom was also clean with a large shower. I liked that the window opened so you can get a fresh breeze through the room rather than have the air con on.

NetherlandsThe breakfast is out-priced. The choice is very humble, but the price matches the price of a good dinner in the Italian across the road. The hotel breakfast of that quality should maximum cost € 10, but definitely not € 30 per person.
Rooms are tidy, comfortable bed, good bathroom.

United KingdomRoom was quite small and the bathroom very small. Shower was cosy and had a tendency to put water over the floor. At check in we were asked if we wanted a breakfast (27 Swiss francs each!) we said no yet breakfast was put on the bill which was then taken off at check out. When we checked in 150 francs was taken off my debit card which we were told would be deducted from the balance at check out. Then at check out we were told we had to pay the full amount and wait for the 150 francs to be credited in 15 days time! After a short debate the 150 francs was taken off the bill.
Very good location on the tram 11 stop (from the station only 10 mins). Helpful staff. Rooms clean. Bed and sheets very comfortable and plenty of wardrobe space.
