Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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...).

FranceLack of air conditioning, although we did have fans available which helped a great deal. Unfortunately Europe was under a heatwave during our visit. But the problem was dealt with by the fans.
The location was really convenient, the host was very welcoming and offered us excellent advice on getting around Basel and what sights to see. The apartment itself was clean, modern and well appointed. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend staying here.

United StatesThe apartment is well located, super clean, and Loredana was incredibly responsive and helpful. It's worth noting that there is no a/c in the apartment (there were several fans though) but it sounds like that is how it is in Switzerland, unless you go to a hotel. So if it's midsummer and hot... well, it'll be hot in the apartment too. The only other thing that we didn't love (and this one is personal preference) is that the beds were not as comfy and we would have liked. But again, Loredana was super responsive when we wanted extra pillows and brought them over right away. And bed preference can vary from one person to another.
Location was perfect! Loredana was easy to communicate with, very accessible and helpful. She was waiting for us when we arrived, and came over to collect the keys when we left. She was a pleasure to deal with.

NetherlandsThere was nothing to complain about. We missed beer glasses but when we told that, Loredana immediately bought some. It's not cheap, but nothing is cheap in Switserland, except public transport with your Basel city card.
Loredana, the host, a Swiss/Italian lady, was very kind and helpful. Easy to contact via whatsapp or phone and always responded very quickly. She met us when we arrived. The apartment is spacious with three bedrooms (we used two) and two bathrooms. All very clean and bright. Lots of info in the apartment about Basel and things you can do (a lot, with beautiful musea). Free transport card provided by Loredana (Basel city card). A bit out of the center, but trams nearby, going to all directions. Bedrooms at the backside, therefore quiet. Convenient private parking place under the apartment.

Lorenda's apartment was perfect for our very short stay in Basel. It was only two tram stops from Basel SBB train station then a very short walk to the apartment. We will definitely stay here again on our next visit.

United KingdomLoredana was an excellent host. She very kindly greeted us with the keys at the apartment. She kept in contact and gave detailed advice on different transport methods to get to the apartment. The location was near the lovely old part of town, a few minutes walk or easily reached by tram. Loredana was very friendly and helpful, providing a detailed map with the tram numbers and had excellent local knowledge of the area. The apartment was spotlessly clean, well stocked with essentials, spacious, bright and quiet. Loredana went out of her way to help us and even left a welcoming bottle of wine when we arrived. Highly recommended accommodation and we would love to return in the future.

I would like to THANK Loredana for incredible hospitality, very nice and unforgettable staying in her apartment Upon our arrival Loredana met us, took us through the arrangements in the apartment, shared recommendations of places to visit. Everything, incl city tickets, were prepared in advance, we really enjoyed our weekend in Basel! From the first hour we were feeling like at home, it was the best travel with family and friends. Absolutely great location and opportunity to walk around the city. Grazie mille, Loredana!

United StatesGetting to the apartment from the train station was easy, and free! with Loredana's instructions. The apartment itself was so clean that I felt like I was the first person to ever stay there. Beds were comfortable, kitchen facilities were fantastic, shower was wonderful, neighborhood was quiet. The outdoor temperatures were quite high at times (I was there for six days), but the fan made it comfortable indoors and air conditioning wasn't necessary. Hearing that I had come to see the museums and learn about the history of Basel, Loredana provided a detailed itinerary and suggestions of what to see. The museums were just a 10 -15 minute walk away, so it was convenient to return home in the middle of the day for lunch. As a woman traveling alone, I'm always concerned about security issues, but I felt perfectly safe, both in the apartment and walking in the neighborhood.

Everything in walking distance (10 min from central train station, 5 min to Old Town, 2 min to tram stop or supermarket). From Basel it's only one hour to Bern or Zürich by train (5 connections per hour!). Additionally Loredana gave us some interesting recommendations - the small Rhine ferry was fun! - we enjoyed our time very much!
