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.).

The price was too high for this kind of location of the hotel (looks like a social problem quarter).
The room was quite big, everything was clean, hotel parking in a Garage closed by, very friendly staff. The breakfast was very good. And the hotel Restaurant seems to be good.

UkraineA few downside: The room didn’t have air conditioning or disposable slippers, but a fan was provided. My bed creaked a bit. Dark room
The hotel room was quite standard. Most of the photos on Booking show rooms that look very bright, but ours felt a bit dark in comparison. It seems that either we were given a darker room, or the photos were slightly enhanced. Since the hotel has many rooms, the one you get might look different from the pictures. On the positive side, everything was clean — fresh linens and towels were provided.

Switzerland⸻ I had to change the first room we checked into. It was on the second floor with a back view, and although I had booked a room with a large king-size bed, we were given two separate beds instead. The receptionist was kind and offered us a nicer room—smaller than the first one but with a spacious balcony facing the city street. Unfortunately, it still didn’t have a king-size bed. Later that night, just as we were about to sleep, my wife found a cockroach crawling on her body. We were shocked and panicked, as we didn’t expect such a low level of cleanliness. Although we were very upset, we chose not to file a complaint out of consideration for the housekeeping staff. However, I still feel very disappointed with the hotel’s management for allowing this to happen
Location and the price for one night was really fantastic

United KingdomCompared to other hotels on our 32 night road trip , this hotel didn’t have a good breakfast , it was, in our experience, quite basic and not good value for money. The car parking is in another street and underground which wasn’t too convenient for us with quite a lot of luggage.
Good location for the city. Provided us with Basel Pass which was great for free transport and discounts in museums.

United StatesA few minor downsides: the shower stall was quite small, and the doors were tricky to keep closed, causing some water to leak onto the floor. The two twin beds were pushed together rather than having a proper double bed, and the comforter was a bit too warm for the weather.
Stayed for one week during Eurovision. The staff were very friendly—special shoutout to Soraya, you rock! I was upgraded to a larger room with two twin beds and a fridge, which was a nice surprise. The location is fantastic: just a 1-minute walk to a grocery store, 4 minutes to the Congress Center, where the EuroClub and EuroVillage were held, and conveniently next to tram stops. The room and bathroom were clean and comfortable, and the Cailler chocolates at reception were a delicious touch.

United KingdomThe window could not be completely closed, so you're experiencing Saturday's night life until very very late.
Friendly and helpful staff, very close to the Messe and the old town at walkable distance. The single room is almost as big as the bathroom, a bit claustrophobic, but it was clean. Bathroom in particular was almost like new and in very good condition. Breakfast choice was very limited, but the scrambled eggs and bacon were more than enough for me. You can ask to leave your luggage if you arrive before 3pm and also when you checkout if you have an evening flight and want to walk around Basel a bit more.
