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.).

United KingdomFirst time at a 100% self service hotel but it all worked very smoothly indeed. It was easy to access via tram from the main station. Outside of the city centre but still lots of shops etc. Area felt very safe. Great find. My only critic was the bed was firm. My personal preference is a softer one. But for one night it was fine. I was that tired after exploring wonderful Basel I'd have slept on a park bench!

IsraelA hotel that doesn't care about is guests, the way to the service center is through the digital WhatsApp email, the response is answered after 50 minutes, this phone answer is a voice message , nothing can be understood, the rooms are freezing in night ,there is no heater electric or gas, the radiator doesn't do the job, anyone who comes to this hotel for is simplicity and minimalism is invited to this horror

SwitzerlandWe are traveling as individuals and as a family for more than 2 decades, yet WHAT Ernesto is delivering as a host and HOW wonderfully he has welcomed us at his house boat was unparalleled. Our entire stay was nothing short of amazing. or to quote my 7 year old son - "best nights ever, daddy"!!

LatviaInterior in photos was nicer than in real life. Everything felt cheap, bathroom interior terribly dated with bathroom floors being stained and looking unpleasant. Although towels and bed linen were clean, some had some stains that’s cannot be washed - not pleasant to use. Floors were cleaned just in the area easily reachable, but heavy layer of dust below the bed and corners. There’s no sound insulation thus - everything happening around is well heard in the room! Be it neighbours coming to their rooms, late night loud talking and laughing or morning sex of someone next room - you hear it all!!
Although it is a self-check in hotel and no staff were present onsite, the ladies at the 24/7 chat were great - prompt responses and solutions to issues.

PortugalIt was way to basic for the price £150 a night I paid and it felt like a hostel No reception or anyone around to provide any help No facilities in the room like tv or coffee maker The room was super hot even I turned the heater off I had to open the window at night ( in February) It had a gloomy feeling
The chat worked well, and I was able to check in earlier

FranceI didn't find any drawbacks in this hotel. I consider it the perfect combination of price and quality for the city of Basel.
I find this hotel very respectable. I liked the location. There is a street nearby with shops and restaurants. The 8 tram stop is close, which can take you to the Old Town in 8-10 minutes, and with the Basel card, transportation is free. The rooms are clean, with comfortable beds, a clean bathroom, and good toiletries. I should also mention the staff, who were available 24/7 and assisted with all inquiries. The room is bright.

SwitzerlandI had a very disappointing stay at this hotel. First, I never received an email with instructions on how to self-check-in, which made my arrival unnecessarily stressful. The common areas were dirty, and my room wasn’t much better—there were stains on the bedsheets, which was completely unacceptable. To make matters worse, the noise insulation was terrible. Every time the person above me flushed their toilet, it was extremely loud and disrupted my sleep. The worst part was at checkout. Despite following the instructions and leaving my key in the safe box as required, the hotel falsely accused me of not checking out properly. They even threatened to contact authorities, which was completely uncalled for. I would not recommend this place to anyone. There are plenty of better options at this price point.

SwitzerlandI'm absolutely thrilled with this hotel and highly recommend it to everyone! The room exceeded all my expectations: The spacious layout and stylish, modern design create a feeling of home A huge, comfortable bed with premium bedding – I slept like a baby Panoramic windows with stunning views of the city or nature (depending on the hotel's location) Impeccable cleanliness throughout the room Thoughtful details: plenty of outlets, excellent lighting, a comfortable work area But the main thing is the exceptional service. The staff anticipates all desires and resolves any issues instantly. You really feel like an important guest. The hotel's location is also ideal – just a stone's throw from all the attractions and transport. Over the years of traveling, I've stayed in many hotels, but this is definitely in my personal top 3. I highly recommend it to anyone who appreciates comfort and quality service!
