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.).

I would like to THANK Loredana for incredible hospitality, very nice and unforgettable staying in her apartment Upon our arrival Loredana met us, took us through the arrangements in the apartment, shared recommendations of places to visit. Everything, incl city tickets, were prepared in advance, we really enjoyed our weekend in Basel! From the first hour we were feeling like at home, it was the best travel with family and friends. Absolutely great location and opportunity to walk around the city. Grazie mille, Loredana!

United StatesGetting to the apartment from the train station was easy, and free! with Loredana's instructions. The apartment itself was so clean that I felt like I was the first person to ever stay there. Beds were comfortable, kitchen facilities were fantastic, shower was wonderful, neighborhood was quiet. The outdoor temperatures were quite high at times (I was there for six days), but the fan made it comfortable indoors and air conditioning wasn't necessary. Hearing that I had come to see the museums and learn about the history of Basel, Loredana provided a detailed itinerary and suggestions of what to see. The museums were just a 10 -15 minute walk away, so it was convenient to return home in the middle of the day for lunch. As a woman traveling alone, I'm always concerned about security issues, but I felt perfectly safe, both in the apartment and walking in the neighborhood.

GermanyWonderful and spacious apartment, very well equipped, literally all you can hope for, very clean, good Wifi! Everything in walking distance (10 min from central train station, 5 min to Old Town, 2 min to tram stop or supermarket). From Basel it's only one hour to Bern or Zürich by train (5 connections per hour!). Additionally Loredana gave us some interesting recommendations - the small Rhine ferry was fun! - we enjoyed our time very much!

United StatesEverything was perfect!
This is one of the loveliest places we've ever stayed in Europe. Our host Loredona was delightful and welcoming. Our apartment had a fully equipped kitchen, elegantly furnished living room, two balconies and a comfy bed. The rooms were large and filled with light. It was a lovely neighborhood and Basel Old Town was only a short walk away. This was our second time staying here, and every aspect of it was wonderful. Highly recommended!

United StatesThe beds were reasonably comfortable but mattress was slightly firm for my taste. However, this is mainly a personal preference. Since the weather was quite hot and the apartment was without A/C (like most Swiss apartments), it was rather warm. However, the apartment was cool at night with the windows open. One night the neighbors were loud until late but we had to keep the windows open to keep the temperature reasonable.
The apartment was incredibly clean. Location was excellent - just off the Old City center but very close to a tram stop and to a Migros grocery location. We could be at the Rhine in about 15 minutes by walking. The neighborhood was a combination of residential properties and professional services (several physician offices in area). It was very safe and we all felt comfortable walking extensively even after dark. Loredana was an excellent hostess and went beyond our expectations. The kitchen was well supplied with dishes and utensils. Nespresso with coffee pods was provided. We mostly traveled using public transportation and regional trains. The main train station was 2 stops on the tram which was less than 1 block from the apartment. There were a couple of small restaurants close by including an excellent Thai restaurant just down the street. Loredana is able to arrange for nearby parking for a very reasonable fee if an automobile is necessary. I cannot say how pleased we were with the entire experience. This is an exceptional property for a family in a fantastic city.

United StatesWe wouldn't change a thing.
We have stayed at many Booking.com apartments in several countries and would rate this apartment as one of the best, if not THE best. Location, amenities, ambience - all are top notch. The kitchen is extremely well equipped, the rooms are spacious and tastefully appointed and we loved the balconies at the front and back. Loredana is professional, communicative and went all out to make our 8-day stay enjoyable. We have already booked to come back next spring and look forward to spending another week at Loredana's fabulous apartment.

United StatesNothing. Everything was great.
We were very pleased with every aspect of our stay. The hostess, Loredana, was at the property when we arrived to let us into the parking garage and to give us the keys to the property. She also gave us wonderful (and very helpful!) information about the city, its sights, and how to get around with the bus/tram system. Basel is definitely a place for walking, biking or using the mass transit. Without Loredana's help we never could have seen what we did. We were able to stay parked and move through the city quite easily. The apartment itself was terrific. It was very clean, quiet, and spacious. I especially loved the spacious kitchen, refrigerator/freezer and eating area, as well as the large bedroom, living room and bathroom. I was able to prepare all of our meals in the fully equipped kitchen with no problem. For us the location was terrific. We mostly walked into the old town and down to the river, but there were also a number of buses/trams that we could take to the various sites. If the chance arises in the future, we would love to return here for another visit. We had an overall terrific stay. Thank you Loredana!
