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.).

BelgiumIt was quite hot in the rooms, but we just turned off the heating and we were fine. The sofa bed was a bit worn with a torn fabric.
The room was nice and spacious. There was an excellent coffee machine. The hotel is 5 minutes away from the market place and is very centrally located. Super nice staff.

United StatesBreakfast was excellent, both the buffet items ( super fresh) and the cooked to order dishes. The bar is very inviting -you want to linger!- and the restaurant is superb. We dined there several times, even with the rest of Basel at our feet. The location is lovely, tucked away yet steps from the shopping and sights.

AustraliaNothing to not like.
The Hotel was in a great location, easy walking distance to everything we wanted to see and do. My husband and I shared a Family Room with our two adult daughters. The girls were on a fold out sofa bed in a separate room. Our room was comfortable and the whole space was large enough for the 4 of us. The bathroom was a decent size as well. We had dinner in the restaurant on the first night which was lovely, great service and food.

SwedenI could not get the coffee machine to work. I thought I booked a room in the historical building but it turned out the room was in a new building across the street. Very modern and comfortable, but I like the charm of historical houses. That was the reason I chose this hotel. I could at least enjoy the view of the old building across the street.
The room was fantastic. Bathrobe and kitchenette. Free water in the fridge. Lovely products such as soap, shower gel etc.

Good amount of space in our room, perfect for our 1 year old. Safe cot provided. Great location for exploring the old town. The staff were super friendly and helpful, and the travel card was a fantastic touch.

United StatesEverything was great.
We stayed here in December while we were visiting Christmas Markets and it was very centrally located and walkable from the train station. We stayed in the new building across the street and it was very comfortable. We had breakfast one morning in the restaurant and it was very good. The next morning we ate in the coffee shop/cafe for breakfast and this was good too.
