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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta, Iceland, Australia, Greece, Brazil and North Carolina. For properties in these regions, 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.).

RomaniaEven if we booked a room the hotel parking was full and we had to park the car at the train station (few hundred metres from the hotel). This is incovenient when you have a baby and luggage to bring from the car.

United KingdomThe bedroom lacked a second chair and a second large towel. the breakfast area looked a bit functional and the breakfast seemed a bit over-priced. We opted to eat in the station while awaiting our train.
being so close to the main station made it ideal as a stop over hotel between train journeys

Staff are delightful and helpful. Location is excellent, close to the station but with a small gap for real life bars and restaurants. Area feels very safe. Excellent tram connections. Room at the back is very quiet. I’d be happy to stay there again.

AustraliaHotel room does not have fridge, kettle or microwave. Room was fairly small but fine for a couple of nights. Hairdryer unit on bathroom wall is pretty ordinary.
Excellent location, near the train station, close to restaurants, supermarkets, trams, and an easy walk to the Old Town area. Hotel is modern, comfortable, staff are helpful. It has a nice foyer with lounge areas, a small cafe bar, and a breakfast dining area. We were impressed by the room’s double windows and automatic external blinds. Reception staff will give you a pass for free travel on the trams & buses, really useful.

SwedenThis was our second stay at the hotel as we were now on our way back from France. A short walk from the station and on a tram route. Room was comfortable but we did not have time for breakfast this visit as we had an early train to catch. Again we had a meal in the evening and the dining area seemed popular for drinks for other guests.

United KingdomSome uncertainty and lack of clarity regarding early check-in (for which supplementary payment seemed to be required), staff - limited in number - seemed more focused on trying to sell Ibis club arrangements for discounts at other Ibis hotels than in accommodating the immediate needs of guests.
Ideal location close to Basel main station and airport bus. Guest card providing free local transport provided, old town centre a few tram stops away. The usual basic Ibis facilities provided in a very clean and modern building. Luggage storage available.
