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.).

United StatesLocation is superb. Short walk to most of the City’s major sites. Major tram lines converge and are just steps away. Hotel also provides free tram passes if walking is not your thing. Passes also good for 50 % discount at major sites. Room clean, large, well sound proofed which was good — major three day music festival was underway in the Plaza just steps away. We didn’t expect it, but loved it— great fun in Basil. Yes, my wife and I are both 80, but we loved that the hotel was so close to this festival. And fun too!

I had a really wonderful stay here in Basel - I only wished I could have stayed longer! The room was very comfortable, very quiet, and with thick curtains so I had a great sleep. The location was very central and perfect for exploring the city. Everyone working at the hotel was friendly and made me feel very welcome. You can also borrow dry-bags from the hotel in case you want to try a river swim!

NetherlandsMinor issues: The curtains don’t block the light properly, which is always a bit problematic for light sleepers. Most guests have to use tea tables for the breakfast, which is not very comfortable. Fortunately, the weather was great and we could sit outside.
Great location, at walking distance from all interesting places. Very friendly staff, always ready to help. Comfortable bed and pillows. Good breakfast.

United StatesLoved the outstanding staff, the location, the cleanliness, the outside tables for a late afternoon beverage!!! Loved the Basel pass (new to us but super helpful and easy) AND that the hotel was quite close to the tourist office. Our kids (in their 20s) picked up Wickelfish (sp?) and floated the river a couple of times. Great fun!
