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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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.).

Very convenient location, right by the station. Although it was a 15 minute walk to the Altstadt, the hotel gave us Basel Cards which included free travel on the trams - this was great as we got to see a lot of the city. Although the tram stop was right outside the hotel, it was not noisy at all. The room was large and comfortable - although I have never had an exercise bike in a hotel room before! We chose not to have a hotel breakfast, and went instead to a local bakers.

United KingdomVery friendly and helpful staff 24/7; lovely rooms - perfectly clean and quiet with the windows closed (the rooms are airconditioned). If you like to hear the music and the trams from the street that's a treat too. Perfect location next to the main station and straightforward access to the Airport. Good breakfast buffet; breakfast is also available in the rooms.

United StatesWe were so pleasantly surprised at how wonderful this hotel was based on the price. It was one of the most comfortable hotels we stayed in during our visit to Switzerland and provided everything we needed and more than expected for such a reasonable price. And the location was absolutely perfect - right next to the train station and bus stop which allowed us to get everywhere we wanted to go quickly and conveniently. We also found the staff to be extra friendly. We can’t recommend the Hotel Schweizerhof highly enough.

Convenient to SBB Basel Bahnhof, Tram Station. Easy walk to Old Town and financial and business district. Very comfortable bed and cozy room. Very nice staff. Good breakfast. Excellent Swiss hospitality. Nice little bar for evening drinks before or after dinner. Two nights or more gets you a pass for local cost-free transit.

There is a bottled water and ice station which the hotel provides for free. Beautiful rooms with hardwood floors! The staff was extra kind.

Fantastic greeting by reception staff made us feel instantly welcome. The room was very clean, quite spacious and with a comfortable bed. The location is perfect. Maybe 20 metres from the stop for the airport bus at the station and with trams to all parts of the city directly outside. Free soft drinks and ice available along the corridor. What's not to like? Check out process was rapid and easy, again with friendly and efficient staff on reception. We didn't use any of the facilities as it was a late arrival and a mid morning departure but would opt to stay here again for convenience, great staff, cleanliness and comfort.
