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.).

United KingdomBare concrete walls, floors and ceilings may be a trendy design choice but it feels like holidaying in prison. Fortunately the pluses outweighed the minuses.
Good breakfast included and other meals of an equal standard Handy for the little ferry across the river. Very comfortable beds - excellent mattresses. Right next door to the Basel Paper Museum - an unlikely must see.

United KingdomThe exposed concrete is not my most favourite thing but it was beautifully matched with wood and steal so it wasn’t too bad 😆
I liked everything; it is by a stream, very close to the river; I loved sitting in that big window, bedroom was light and the big window was awesome

GermanyThe breakfast was a bit limited in my opinion and you'd always have to wait for all options to be filled up again. Also it could be mentioned that you need a 2 Franc coin for the lockers instead of a lock, because there's no bank or supermarket close by to change money.
It was clean, the staff was very nice and helpful. The hostel design is modern and minimalist. Also the location where the hostel is located is quite cute.

The hotel is in a very good and safe area - quiet and beautiful, next to the Rhin. The staff is friendly and helpful. The room has a minimalist style - I love it! Comfortable bed and shower with very hot water (which I really enjoyed).

FinlandToo far tram stop and you have to carry your luggage and pull them down the hill and unfortunately the road heading down to the hostel are under renovation. This is may 2024. And the hostel isn't easy to find as you have to enter to the church property and behind the area of the hostel.
The batrhroom were fantastic. Foods are ok. Ordinary breakfast. Quiet room i have had as i only stayed overnight.

ThailandThe fixing road and also the entrance with small stones made the 10 min walk a heavy job to carrying the luggage.
Facility and what youth hostel can offer is the best and reasonable price. Location is near the beautiful area + paper mill museum and Basel city wall. Not far from the river.

United KingdomYou need local currency coins to use the lockers, there are no tokens. The lady in reception told me I needed one coin for the lockers but the coin I needed for the locker in the room was a different value, she did not mention this thus I could not lock my stuff. It was ok anyway
I love the location, close to many things including the river. The hostel architecture is beautiful, the common areas are big and feels like a good place to be with friends. The room was cozy, lots of toilets in front of the room. The breakfast was excellent, good selection of food.
