Only a customer who has booked through Booking.com and stayed at the property in question can write a review. This lets us know that our reviews come from real guests, like you. Who better to tell others about the free breakfast, friendly staff, or quiet room than someone who’s stayed at the property before?
We want you to share your story, both the good and the bad. All we ask is that you follow a few simple guidelines.
We believe review contributions and property responses will highlight a wide range of opinion and experiences, which are critical in helping guests make well-informed decisions about where to stay.
Contributions to Booking.com are a reflection of the dedication of our guests and properties, and are treated with the utmost respect.
Whether negative or positive, we'll post every comment in full, as quickly as possible, after being moderated to comply with Booking.com guidelines. We'll also provide transparency over the status of submitted content.
Once a review has been submitted, you can modify it by contacting Booking.com customer service.
We will use the same guidelines and standards for all user-generated content as well as the property replies to that content.
We will allow the contributions to speak for themselves, and we won’t be the judge of reality. Booking.com’s role is that of a distributor of feedback from both guest and property.
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...).

NetherlandsCasa Esperanza is in a great location, very easy to reach from Basel Airport (or from the Basel main station). The accommodation is very clean and comfortable, with all the necessary facilities at hand, and I was given a warm welcome by Bea, who explained everything, and gave me advice on how to take public transport the following day. Casa Esperanza is in a nice residential street, but close by tram and bus stops, supermarkets, pharmacies and bakeries, and a 5 min walk away from a delicious Vietnamese restaurant called Saigon Moon.

TurkeyActually almost everything was perfect so it is hard to say this could be better in this way.
The house was well equipped, even the small things which might be needed were taken into account, it was pretty clean and comfortable. The owner of the house was so friendly, kind and helpful. The house was located in a place which was close to the center and tram/bus stations, there were different markets arounds, going shopping was not a big deal.

Me and my family were welcomed by Kai when we got to the apartment and he explained all the facilities and arrangements in detail. The apartment is only 15 mins by car from Basel Airport and the nearest tram station is just less than 10 mins walk. You get a mobility ticket for the days you stay in Basel hence you get to travel for free on the buses and trams! The apartment itself is really clean and well equipped. Definitely recommend you to stay with them!

The family running Casa Esperanza were absolutely lovely and went out of their way to creat a lovely and relaxing holiday for us. The beds were very comfortable, there was plenty of tea/coffee supplies, they even provided us with all the tools to make cheese fondue free of charge. There were some plates and cutlery provided so that we could make sandwhiches etc (we stayed in the double room with no kitchen). Transport was easy and close. Would definitely stay here again.
