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 KingdomExtra blanket available as discussed above.
Great. Very inexpensive. Just rather cold in bed. Probably due to the Baltic weather. Maybe an extra blanket in the cupboard. But no problem with cleanliness. Very accessible for the town centre, cafes, shops, buses etc. The main point is that it’s very decent and extremely cheap.

AustraliaThe walls are a bit thin and I could hear other guests. It was also a bit of a walk to Waverley Station (20 min).
The host was friendly and helpful and the room had everything I needed for a short stay. It was reasonably close to attractions, about 15 min walk to Edinburgh Castle and Grassmarket.

NetherlandsI had a very pleasant stay! Although nothing really so special I think the location is good, the room spatious enough and the bed excellent. You can walk into the city center in about 10-15 mins and buses from this area take you basically anywhere in Edinburgh. Very friendly and helpful staff.

United KingdomKettle was broken, bed was rock-hard, window didn't open, only a loud electric heater to heat to the room, no shower gel, tap water tasted metallic. Also no thumb lock on the door, which I believe is illegal and against fire safety regulations.
Easy to access with lockbox code.

The booking was incorrect as we were expecting a bed&breakfast. The host was more agreeable and understood our position. The issue was resolved quickly. Even if we did not stay, the host is the reason you should stay. This is the best host ever met.

Czech RepublicRoom 13 was freezing. ( 26 building) Even they give you electric heater - it helps only for the room. Private bathroom was so freezing. I basically was shaking from the cold each time I was going there. I had to change the room next day because of that.
Location is very good. There is TV , and kettle ( also coffee, tea, cookies). Room 7 is good one with modern bathroom. ( 24 building)
