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 StatesNo restaurant on site, but well stocked with a wide selection of excellent breakfast items available daily!
Hidden gem in a quiet neighborhood. Close to free (Basel Pass) public transportation, literally across the street. Close to historical district but far enough away from tourist throngs for a peaceful rest. Our modern room had all the amenities we've come to appreciate, including a coffee machine and electric hot water carafe.

TaiwanThere is no attached restaurant, only a bar offering simple hot food (such as pizza) and drinks. The hotel is located near the University Hospital of Basel, so when an ambulance passes by, it is inevitable to hear the sound. Nonetheless, the hotel windows are well insulated and I was never woken up during my stay.
The hotel is located next to the Old City Gate of Spalentor and the Botanical Garden of the University of Basel, with excellent scenery and good security. The staff's service is very good. Although the hotel is not big, the service is definitely four-star.

The staff were great, we arrived by car and needed to park, the young lady on reception gave good instructions on how to get to the parking. The hotel room was great, the bed was very comfortable and the facilities in the room were good with an excellent minibar. The hotel location near the centre of Basel was ideal.

Hotel Spalentor is a lovely hotel. The ladies working on reception were so friendly and offered us help with parking and also recommendations of places to visit in the city. Our room was really nice, clean, and modern and the bed was really comfy. The hotel was literally across the road from the city gates. We were only a 5 minute walk from a local bakery to get breakfast. Basel was also absolutely beautiful! We would definitely stay here again if we visit again in the future.
