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 entrance to the hotel was very welcoming, the staff were exceptional and I was welcomed with a drink and some chips which I took in the very pretty garden, which is why I chose this hotel. The room was clean and the facilities good. I did not take breakfast as I knew there were many places nearby for coffee and a croissant. The location was just right, one stop on the No 30 bus from the SBB, less than a 5 minute walk into the centre of Basel, be mindful there are a quite a few steps, but remember the No 30 bus takes you to the SBB (train station) where there are trams for all over the city. You are given a free pass for trams and buses and also discounted prices for museums and other attractions in the city. I would definitely stay again.

United StatesAlthough the rooms are small, they are well appointed. Excellent shower and comfortable bed. The staff couldn't have been nicer and more helpful and the breakfast was excellent. A short distance away there are very good local restaurants that are not too expensive and its easy to get to ArtBasel which is why we were there. Highly recommend.

SwitzerlandYou wouldn’t have wanted to spend hours in the room because it was pretty small.
Absolutely everything worked and it was super clean and really comfortable. Ingenious way of presenting coffee pods. Gorgeous garden view accompanied by bird song. Welcome drink of a good glass of wine. The loo and shower were in separate cubicles.

United KingdomMore storage space in the bedroom, eg drawers/shelves. Better plugs that allow converters esp from UK. Larger bathroom which was fine, but compact.
The location and ease of travel from the station by bus thanks to excellent communications from the hotel. The friendly staff, welcome drink, bottled water for onward travel, breakfast and peaceful garden. The proceeds from the hotel support several worthy charities.

United StatesNo washcloths and hand lotion bottle was empty.
The staff was amazing; greeting us outside and bringing in our luggage. I had an issue with checking in with the airport and they made multiple phone calls for me. Gave us good tips on how to get around and what to see. Unfortunately we had to leave too early for breakfast. The afternoon wine was a lovely touch. Another wonderful aspect of the hotel is the garden which is an oasis. Sitting there relaxing amongst the plants, listening to the water and the birds was a real bonus. One would never guess that you were in the midst of the city. So peaceful and relaxing - just what we needed!

GermanyHighly recommended. Our stay was incredible and we were surprised by hotel generously amazing room offer. Nice, friendly and lovely staff. Welcoming drink with chips and goodbye water made us feeling so happy. What can I say more. Our room has been designed kind of antique mixed with modern. We had a Gramophone, Radio and an arty sofa-chair. We loved it! That was the first time we stayed in a 3 stars hotel but honestly, this hotel should be rate as 4 stars. Thank you all for your great hospitality.

SpainWe were there for a long stay and we can't feel better. Alex received us with a warm welcome and he solved all our requests for the long stay as well as guiding us in our first visit to Basel. It was awesome, he left everything explained in their system and it was a pleasant way to get everything done and feel good. The hotel was really good, with a beautiful garden and very comfty rooms. It was our first time in Basel and this hotel is going to be our hotel next times. Thanks for everything to the entire team!

This is an excellent place to base yourself and explore Basel. The staff were outstanding... professional,friendly and helpful. They provided tips about where to go and how to get there. The room was immaculate. They are small, but perfectly formed to provide everything you need for a comfortable and quiet stay. Breakfast was enjoyable and the garden area perfect for relaxing.

United StatesThe front desk staff is absolutely delightful! Everyone is so friendly and helpful. The hotel is very clean, showers are great, and bedding is comfy. We had a 12 day stay in Europe in 3 different hotels, and this was our favorite. Small, comfortable, friendly, affordable, and easy access to restaurants, etc. They offer breakfast and the evening of your arrival offer you a complimentary cocktail. Busses are right down the street and the area is very safe for walking.
