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 KingdomFrom the outside it looks like it's going to be dirty and unmaintained, which just makes the guest second guess their choice.
The value we got for the price is amazing. Will definitely come again.

United KingdomThe shower pressure wasn't great, and the bath was missing its plug. For the number of people staying there, I'd say it lacked a single shower room. Maybe add a few extra coffee cups and glasses.
It was spacious, had a nice kitchen/diner, and had a great balcony. Washing facilities where there if needed. Wasn't far from Aldi, Sainsbury's, and tram stop at Murrayfield stadium.

United Kingdomentrance to building needs to be sorted yes its a block of flats but the stairways are not the best not the owners fault dont be surprised when you get there.also we encountered a young lad one night who was at the top of the stairs who was just about to do drugs,i did inform the owner who came down straight away and we had a chat as it looked like someone had left a door open to let this person in the building , this does need addressing as i had a 3 year old in our party and not good if he were to touch any used drug items .. inside the apartment place needs to be cleaned better ,ok bedrooms towels clean.kitchen needs more attention ,old food in frezzer,cooker needs a good clean info on how the hob works ,bin the out of date products bathroom black mold around bath nothing a bit of bleach would sort out and defo needs a plug ,be handy to have more bin bags and loo roll . but all in all once your in the apartment it was nice .
ok apartment was large enough for the 10 of us ,the bedrooms all ok .large kitchen but looks like some work has been carried out as walls were needing a paint .shame we were not advised before our arrival.some attention needs to be done to keep the apartment updated .but all in all was ok .10 min walk to tram station to go into the city

United KingdomThe entranceway and stairs is quite messy, but that's down to the neighbours, not the host.
The flat is very spacious, with a large dining kitchen, two separate sitting rooms, and an outdoor roof terrace. The views across Edinburgh from the terrace are exceptional. Kitchen has some very posh appliances and plenty of utensils etc. There's a supermarket a few minutes walk away, along with some reasonable takeaways. Tram and bus stops are quite close by too, so getting into the centre of the city isn't too difficult.

United KingdomYou can tell there are some rooms still to be updated but it's not a problem. I'm not a huge fan of carpeted bathrooms so that is something maybe to be changed. There is a back door leading onto a roof/garden area that the door doesn't shut properly. It's not really an issue as you're the top floor and I doubt spiderman will be swinging to say hi! The patio area may also need some work as the turn laid is rolling up and we tripped a few times. The let down is probably the building itself, which is not the hosts fault. Its on the 6th floor and the elevator sometimes decides you're at max capacity and will beep, despite only 2 people in. Also, there was a man casually taking a shopping trolly from a stack that had been abandoned, so the outside area is not nice to look at from the back, unfortunately.
The apartment itself is gorgeous. The location is very close to numerous attractions and only around a 10 minute drive from the centre. The host was very accommodating and showed me how to work all the utensils. There is a private roof top garden area with seating.

United KingdomWhile the penthouse was exceptional, the building itself was rundown and the neighborhood didn't seem overly safe. But, if you can get through the building and up to the penthouse, you're in for a lovely treat!
The penthouse had everything we needed for a comfortable stay with easy access by taxi to the Royal Mile. The host was incredible and walked us through the amenities and even helped us find the location easily. The building has obviously been recently renovated and was very lovely. Everything we needed was provided for a comfortable stay!

United KingdomThe apartment was lovely. It was spacious, the kitchen was amazing and it had good size double bedrooms for all rooms. The view of Edinburgh from the apartment was stunning. We managed to park for free directly outside of the apartment and got the tram into the centre so it's situated well. Joseph checked us in and made sure we had everything we needed. Great stay, thank you!

United KingdomInitial look on arrival outside and the stairwell was a little intimidating we arrived when it was dark so that didn't help. No light when we came out the lift to go up the last set of steps. Bathroom could use some upgrade carpet in the bathroom is an unusual choice.
The apartment was so big we were so surprised. The kitchen was lovely we spent most of the time in there. Beds were really comfortable. So much space.

United KingdomEntrance to the apartment was not nice at all. Large sitting room was very cold, didn't really matter to us as there was plenty other space to sit but not useable if it was needed. An additional shower would have been handy as only one shower for 9 people wasn't very convenient.
Perfect location for Murrayfield. Nice apartment with plenty room and very well equipped. Very good value for money. Would definitely book again.
