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.).

TurkeyAt day everything is fine but at night location is becoming low life profile. Other guest were really loud and walls are really thin. We didn't feel safe. If you are not with family and looking for place to just for sleeping and nothing more you may choose it otherwise nor recommending.
Rooms were alright but little bit narrow yet clean enough. Location was good close to train station walking distance to city center. There are no reception at hotel but there is a self check in machine which is easy to use but only card to pay, no cash. There are free wifi. At room free basel card were preapered and ready to use which is amazing to have, duration of staying it is free to use the public transportation and some discounts. At entrance there are free coffee and tea.

SwitzerlandThe room smelled of old smoke so I had to keep the window open. The area gets quite noisy early in the morning. The card reader to enter the hotel is unreliable. Still, value for money was ok for me.
The place is ideal to crash for one night - next to the train station and the bus from the airport. There are food and drink options nearby. Our room was clean and the electronic check-in straightforward. The bathroom was small but nicely done. There is free coffee and tea downstairs. Lighting of the room is good.

United Kingdomafter self checking in, which was around 7.45pm (so it was dark outside) I went to look for my room. there’s no instruction to say you have to turn the lights on manually for the stairways or the hallway. I was going up the stairs, in the dark, with all my luggage and it seemed really unsafe. I got to the hallway and that was really dark as well. I couldn’t find my room and ended up going up another flight of stairs, only to find that those were other rooms. I came back down to see if I could find someone, but there’s no staff members there at any point of the day. I eventually found my room, but it’s not straightforward as the receipt said ‘A’ on it and when you look outside all the doors you’ll only find a ’B’. but eventually you realise that’s the hotel logo, not ‘floor B’. Another issue, which stuck out for me, was that there’s only one push button on the door that acts like a lock. the chain lock has been removed for some reason, so it didn’t feel secure enough. other hotels I’ve stayed at always have had 2 or 3 locks on the inside (chain, bolt, turn key).
the location is literally right next to the station. perfect if your arriving late and you just want to get in and rest from the days travelling you’ve just had to do.
