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 clean and comfortable. Small shower cubicle, but ok for me who is not very tall. The only reason not giving 10 for comfort is that one more pillow in the bed would have been good! Nice and fresh breakfast buffet.

Location was good and the hotel was so close to historical places that we wanted to visit. The lady welcomed us was very kind and helpful to us. Also all of the people in Basel were kind and we loved Basel much more than we expected by the help of them. Room was clean and adequate for 2 people. Bed was comfortable. We are planning to visit Basel and stay in this hotel again next year.

LuxembourgThe location, but I have to admit I made the mistake of not checking the map thoroughly enough. Although it is close to the city center, you still have to walk a bit and with all the tram-overpass-every-direction-traffic, it is sometimes a chore. Again my mistake, but something to consider for next time.
I loved the room, even tho it was small, it was cosy enough and more than perfect for a one-weekend stay. Clean as it gets, so kudos for the team handling it. Staff was also kind and helpful, even made the effort to re-print our BaselPass, for the last day, went the extra mile to help us out, very pleased with their effort and help.

CyprusA beautiful little hotel with polite and helpful staff. Clean room and had all the facilities we needed. Very close ( walking distance 10-15 minutes) to everywhere in the city station, river and all the sightseeings. Christmas markets and nice restaurants were only 10 minutes from the hotel. Love our stay at Birsighof and will definetely recommend it and also stay again next time we are in Basel. Forgot to mention the little magnets from different places of the world on the lift door that give the place a home away from home touch 😊

AustriaWe were maid to believe that there is a free breakfast (it says so on Google and also Booking didn't mention any options of choosing with our without breakfast, just that the hotel offers a good breakfast). But the breakfast was not free of charge which could have maid a difference when choosing the hotel. Parking is almost impossible in Basel, so that was a challenge also at the hotel.
The little garden in the back was very pleasant. Also toys for our daughter were available. Good location, tram station is nearby, also the Zoo is just a 3-5 minutes walk away.
