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.).

IsraelThey didn’t care to provide decaffeinate coffee Also I ask before I arrived and when we arrived they told me they are sorry but they do not have decaffeinate capsules. I had to buy my own as it’s a shame for every other hotel 4 stars provides for whom cannot take for medical issues decaffeinate coffee. Pillows weren’t good , too heavy and hard .
Functional, clean , good shower , bed was good ( pillows weren’t good ) .

United KingdomThe curtain that the bedroom occupant could pull back to see straight in the bathroom was a bit weird? I mean sometimes you wouldn't want your partner glancing at you when you are on the loo??
Lovely rooms, staff fired up the sauna (which our 11 and 13 year olds also able to use), looked like good gym although no time to use it. Quiet despite being near a large road, easy access to the main centre and the walk too and from the train station was fine. Loads of plug sockets (we had a mix of British plugs with adaptors that didn't fit. and Euro plugs which did fit fine)

Czech RepublicThe breakfast buffet was only okay. The cold buffet was fine but the hot selections weren't very good: the bacon was under cooked and the scrambled eggs were runny. The bathroom has glass walls next to the bedroom. A curtain gives the user privacy from the bedroom, but there is nowhere to hang anything on the glass walls. The narrow towel rack is inadequate to dry the nice thick towels if you want to be environmentally friendly and use them more than once.
The location is excellent. It's close to the Old Town but in a relatively quiet street and has a little courtyard at the back. The staff were very helpful. Our room was very spacious as was the bathroom with a large walk-in shower. We were pleasantly surprised when reception gave us a pass that included free public transport and discounts to several museums and boat trips. The fitness room is fabulous and the sauna is open long hours.

The hotel was modern and exceptionally clean. Proximity to Basel old town. Proximity to the SBB rail station with the bus stop just outside of the hotel. Just one stop and ran every five minutes. I arrived early and was able to occupy my room straight away. The reception staff were very helpful and friendly.

United KingdomVery comfortable, light and spacious room with all the amenities you could want. The room was nicely decorated and well laid out. The breakfast was excellent with a lot of choice and it was a special delight for me to have the choice of decaff coffee. The hotel was very central and just a 5 minute walk into the old town and restaurants. The staff were excellent, very helpful and kind. Added bonus was a free Basel card which gives you free travel on public transport and discounted prices to museums and other attractions. Will definitely use this hotel again.
