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 use a weighted review system which means that 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.).

Perfect location, amazing breakfast, very clean, kind and helpful staff. The decor is very chic and cool, not at all boring or obvious.

SwitzerlandI thought that our room would have a view on the river, when it actually didn't, and this wasn't clear to me at the time of the reservation. Still, it remains quite a detail and did not have any impact on our well being in the hotel!
The staff was very friendly, welcoming, efficient and helpful. They are the ones who make the difference between just a stay in this nice hotel, or a stay that you enjoy and will remember. Breakfasts are very good, quite above any typical hotel-breakfast. Rooms are clean, spacious and confortable. The hotel itself is super well located both at the center, and nearby public transports.

Saudi ArabiaI was there in Summer, midst heat wave, which makes the room temperature very hot. Not all rooms have AC. Luckily my room was provided with a fan to reduce the temperature.
I like the legacy of the hotel, one of oldest hotels in Basel. Also, loved the view into the river , and the location, by the river.

SwitzerlandThe breakfast is not worth the Fr.29 and the service was a bit slow.
I love that it is so close to the Rhine. It is a nice property with coffee and snacks for the room. The room had big soft pillow, which is very uncomfortable for me, but they very quickly provided enough pillows.

United KingdomThe only issue we had was the heat. The hotel very kindly provided a fan in the room - nothing more they could've done to make it more comfortable but it was still 29 degrees through the night with the fan on.
The room was very spacious, the hotel itself is in an ideal location. They provided a waterproof bag so we could enjoy a swim in the Rhine - which was a lovely touch considering the heat in Switzerland during our stay. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Brilliant hotel and staff, would stay here again.
