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.).

AustraliaNothing! All was fabulous
Lovely b&b with heaps of charm and character, staff were lovely, breakfast was great. They even have a bar if you're in need of a night cap. Easy to get to town centre on buses that were really regular. Only wish we could have stayed longer

United KingdomArrival - host on hand, very welcoming, quick and easy check in (stairs to bedrooms but not an issue for us). Breakfast - plentiful, eggs benedict were excellent, good choice of continental with yogurt, fruit, cereals, breads - and tea/coffee refills on tap. Attentive service. Accommodation - very comfortable and warm room (it's January!), lovely views from bedroom window. Bathroom modern and clean. Location - ideal for city centre breaks - street parking available, just off a main road into Edinburgh with numerous buses regularly. Quiet location.

United KingdomThere's nothing I didn't like!
Amazing welcome and fabulous stay over New Year! Everything you read in these reviews is true and then some. The room was great and perfect just for me. Lovely little touches with the whiskey and shortbread for new year. The breakfast was excellent (full Scottish both days) and cooked to perfection served in the lovely, light and airy dining room. I would definitely recommend staying here. Wonderful!

ItalyThe breakfast wasn't the best, I mean I'm vegan and they had one option for me. (i did text before going to the hotel about it) The continental breakfast had no options for me, (adding some lactose free yogurt or more vegan friendly biscuits would be great) also Maybe have soya/oat/almond milk for us to choose of the drinking.
I liked the bedroom and the bed was very comfy, The staff was nice and friendly. And the position was very handy, it's not in the city center but it has lots of buses close by, you can get them every 10/15 minutes even less. The building has a very nice, very homey vibe. They have a vegan option for the breakfast.

The hotel was beautiful, clean, lovely, and warm. All the staff were amazing and made everybody feel so welcome from the moment you came into the hotel. Nothing was too much trouble. The breakfast was beautifully cooked with a fantastic range of food and drinks. The bar area was a great place to spend a little time before going into Edinburgh or coming back after a busy day. Thank you, Kevin, Susan, and Kelly, for all the information we needed and being fantastic hosts.
