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...).

Romaniabit noisy during nights, due to the placement, but this is something that is out of house keeper hands.
In the middle of the city, just across the City hall. Big rooms, comfortable beds. Basel cards were a nice bonus

ItalyI'd suggest a small bed table for the second bed with a small lamp , easy to reach from the bed. Head shower could be improved but actually those are more suggestions than critics
right in the city centre, public transport all around. the apartment has plenty of space, even for four adults. kitchen is very well supplied, fridge, dishwasher, washing machine and dryer all present. beds are really comfy and lot of windows guarantee the airflow

United StatesIt snowed the day we arrived. And although it seemed, there was some heat coming out of the radiators. The room was fairly drafty and cold. But then again we are from Florida so I would take that with a grain of salt.
Excellent location, very roomy and access to laundry.

This place is the best! The location - right where you want to be in old town, walking distance to everything with a tram a half a block away to get you anywhere else. The owner has an Italian restaurant on the second floor that is so delicious. And you get a discount for staying there. Friendly people, good location, balconies, I could ask for nothing more

United StatesFrankly it was a very nice place, perfect location and the owner was very nice and helpful. Don't hesitate to stay here 🤗
This was a large apartment in an older building in a perfect location in the old section of town. It was very comfortable warm great hot water and shower washer and dryer were very helpful. The owner had a restaurant on the first floor where he served a very good deal at a reasonable price (if anything these days is reasonable) and and he was very nice and very helpful. It was a 3 floor walk-up which is something older people might want to know. If I had to do it all over again I certainly would.

United StatesThe stairs would be difficult for someone with reduced mobility but the historic building made up for it. A electrical coffee/espresso maker would be a great addition to the house:)
The location and size of the property was absolutely perfect for a couple or small family on holiday. The two outdoor spaces was perfect for airflow and taking in the city views.

United StatesThe entire apartment needs a thorough cleaning and updating of basic stuff. The key pick up is a pain when you are arriving at night and in not so good weather specially when there’s no where to park. It’s a good three blocks maybe away from the property. You have to walk bc it’s impossible to drive to the key pick up if you are not familiar with the area. It will be a pain if you are lugging suitcases.
Only saving grace is the location

AustraliaAs mentioned in a lot of the reviews, the towels (one each) were atrocious. Clean (but smelly - left in a washing machine too long), but old and tiny. What are they thinking, that these would be a pass for the traveller. For the amount that we are paying per night, how hard would it be to buy new or even have reasonable towels to present to the traveller, especially when most reviews mention this. You would think that the owner would take note, and deal with this side of his business. The WIFI is hit and miss. Most times MISS, It is a good thing that we paid a premium to stream our own data fromm our homje town. When running a business while travelling, or for any reason, it is always an advantage to have a connection that always drops out. Just a small container of some milk would have been good to start us off.
The location was good for the two nights in Basel.
