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 price per night was quite high compared to eg Spain/France but it’s comparable with Swiss prices so not a complaint. Worth it as the hotel and staff were really lovely.
Loved this hotel. Our room was amazing (21) and the hotel location was great. Staff so helpful-we had booked a car parking space and they drove with us to the car park to make sure we got in ok. Highly recommend this hotel.

Amazing stay at historical Basel neighborhood. Fantastic service, location and quality. We could not be happier. From check-in to comfortable and clean rooms, to great food options and friendly service. This hotel has it all. Hospitality at its best.

United KingdomFor anyone with problems with their walking there were a few steps & levels to negotiate.
The hotel is in an ideal position for exploring Basel. The excellent tram service stops right outside the door. The staff were very friendly & helpful. The breakfast was excellent with a good choice. We ate in their restaurant next door which was also very good.

CanadaShower and toilet set up was fine but shower curtain could have been prevented from flowing with draft due to convection with hot and cold water but a minor issue.
Location, location, location for a decent hotel that was not expensive and right beside the old town. Excellent choice for anyone wanting to see Basel for the first time and have a great impression. Everything withing walking distance including the SBB Hb train station.

AustraliaThe shower head didn't stay fixed in position and slid down and into the corner so had to be held which was a slight bother. Also, the Nespresso machine on button was impossible to find so some instructions would have helped. Decaf pods or English breakfast tea bags would have been great but not a big deal just a preference. The biscuits and chocolates were presented as being gratuitous but were on the bar menu so luckily we checked.
Very clean, spacious modern room (felt like a small studio) with nice decor, cleverly designed

GermanyWe got 2 single beds although that was not what I booked. Pretty expensive for what you get.
The place is simple and clean. I appreciate 2 kinds of sockets in our room so you don’t need an adapter. There are some nice details (we stayed in the new/renovated part). The location is great, it was also quiet. The hotel is good for a one night stay.

United StatesLike most higher end hotels in Basel, the room was decorated in a highly minimalist style, spartan and a bit lacking in warmth, though executed in materials of excellent quality and appearance. A carpet would have done a lot to warm up the feel of the room. Bedding was the inevitable down comforter which all higher end properties seem to have defaulted to, and as usual, much too warm, unless the thermostat is dialed way down.
Nice large room in brand new building, facing away from street, very quiet. Very comfortable bed. Nice system of shades, one for privacy and the other to eliminate light, which worked well. A high end Nespresso machine and pods was also provided.
