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 States5th floor with no elevator and no mention of this in the booking. The amount apartment on the top floor has sloping roof limiting tall people’s useable space. And it gets hot. It would be good to have little more information on how to contact the staff.
Lovely, clean, small 1 bedroom. Right at Waverly station.

United StatesThe HVAC system was bad. Never could get to work right and just left the windows open when hot. I knew there was no lift but narrow stairs and three flights with two fifty pound bags were tough. Lastly, the shower was slippery and a mat was needed - needed three big towels instead of two.
The view of the City was great. The room was nice and convenient to have a kitchen. Was glad there was a fan in the room.

United StatesSteps up to our unit with hand luggage. But took it in stride. I needed the exercise. Limited breakfast options near accommodations. A bit of a jaunt or into train station for bagel. Nothing negative for unit, albeit stairs up.
Location to trams, train, buses. Close to Royal Mile and city sites. The unit was immaculate. The stairs to unit a bit tough, but it’s doable. Slept well and very quiet. Was very pleased would recommend and stay again if I am ever back in Edinburgh from North Carolina.

United StatesCheck in was poor. Was sent a code when booking months ago - it had been changed, and no notification was given. Had to call office while standing on a busy street, in the rain, all our belongings getting soaked. Management company had changed the code. Thankfully while we were waiting to contact anyone about getting in off the street, 2 people came by and let us in. So much for security, but we were grateful to get out of the rain at least. A text came the next day, a full day AFTER check in with actual info on how to check in. Really poor job they did with check in.
Great location. Loved inverness. Room was great.

United KingdomI don't think there was anything extra we would have asked for/expected. Ours was just a short, 1 night stay though.
The location was absolutely fantastic. Apartment was nicely presented with everything we needed for our stay. Despite being very centrally located, noise levels (on the 3rd floor) were minimal.

United States5th floor was a bit of a climb while carrying our 2 year old (there is no lift) and the temperature for a bit hot at night but neither of these issues impacted our stay negatively. It is a beautiful apartment and great location.
Beautiful, clean apartment right across from a picturesque park and walking distance to all the main tourist spots in Edinburgh. We loved the windows that overlooked the city and how bright and airy the apartment felt.
