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 KingdomThe coffee machine in the room which doubles up as a water boiler supplied lukewarm water. Needs replacing. Parking is tricky but there is an underground car park nearby where you can leave your car in a safe environment for €20.
The room was perfectly comfortable and impeccably clean, Close to the centre. Peaceful room. As far as the price level I thought considering we were close to Basel centre the price was good. Staff were very efficient and helpful with a smile.

United KingdomThe hotel rooms were very hot at night and we couldn't find a way to turn heating down. But really thats all that was an issue with the hotel.
The hotel was very clean, and staff very friendly and helpful. We arrived slightly early and they managed to get one of the rooms ready immediately ready for us so we could put out bags in.

SwitzerlandBreakfast option is too expensive (like in many hotels): I only need coffee&croissant in the early morning and I will not spend 18 CHF on that.
Nice clean room including tea&coffee. Location is fine, in just a few minutes you are in the city centre.

FranceIt was a little bit warm in the room and not a big deal but a a larger shelf for the toiletry bag would be more comfortable.
The room was really good and looks cosy.

United KingdomOur stay here was to allow us an extra day in Basel prior to boarding our Viking River Cruise. The staff was very helpful and allowed us to leave our suitcases when arriving and departing. This allowed us to explore the city by foot and public transport. BTW - public transit is paid for by the taxes paid with the room.

I had a great stay at Bloom. It is a lovely boutique hotel and very comfortable. It's nice and quiet, private, has friendly staff and is simple and stylish and has a nice atmosphere in the rooms. The room is very clean and has everything you need to retreat to after a long day.

My stay at Bloom was comfortable and enjoyable due to its cleanness room and excellent location, near to the tram station and easily accessible. However, the absence of slippers was a minor inconvenience. With a simple addition like slippers, the hotel could enhance its guests' overall experience.

NetherlandsThe pillows were very uncomfortable. I had neck pain in the morning. Another problem I had was in the shower. The water was suddenly turning extremely hot, burning my skin.
The receptionist was very helpful and very nice. The hotel room was very clean and they also accepted us early earlier than the usual time. the location was great, and it was definitely value for money. They offered coffee and tea to us, which was so nice. Overall, it was very enjoyable.

United StatesThe room had an additional bunk bed above the main bed. this would be a cool feature for a couple traveling with a child. We found that we had to be extra careful to not hit our heads. (We almost succeeded.) The room was super clean, but a bit small for two people and our luggage.
The staff was wonderful. They were super friendly and helpful. They gave us cards that let us travel on the city trams as much as we liked. The hotel is a short, pleasant walk to the center.

TurkeyThere is no close city parking around the hotel. Thanks to staff they provided a parking RFID key from nearest parking house but it was a bit expensive and not so close considering luggages and baby car.
We really enjoy staying in Hotel Bloom. We requested a baby cabinet and it was already prepared in the property. So thank you for that. Cleanliness and distance of the city center was OK.
