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 KingdomThe bathroom is pretty small in comparison to the entire flat. The carpet had some stains, and the sofa bed was a bit dirty.
The location was great. The flat had all we needed for 3 nights. Instructions very clear, easy check in. Kitchen had all the appliances needed.

United KingdomThere was only one wine glass and one teaspoon - we contacted the owner and he brought more spoons along with a broom and dustpan and brush the next day (as we didn't have these either). There was no vacuum cleaner which would have been handy as we were there for a week. But these did not deter from our week which was great, Would still recommend this accommodation.
Great location, mostly well equipped kitchen , good bedding, very clean, pleasantly surprised by the lovely fresh flowers, milks , orange juice and biscuits (very nice touch). Also plenty of hot water for 4 people. There was toilet paper ,a tea towel and kitchen roll as well as bin bags and cleaning supplies.. Good sized towels for everyone too and a hairdryer. As described on the website.

AustraliaNo washing machine. Parking difficult, however this is to be expected in the city.
Spacious, clean, well equipped, warm and welcoming. Had everything we needed (except a washing machine). Location was close to Old Town. The local area had lots of restaurants and food stores. There was no street parking, however, so we had to park the car about a 5 minute walk away in a paid carpark.

United StatesAlthough the apartment is located on a sidestreet similar to an alley, the street was quiet. And, best of all, it was the closest we could get to the important sites in Edinburgh for the least cost per night. We felt safe in and around the property.

United KingdomSofa bed could do with upgrading as it was starting to lose its springs, other then that only a front and back door mat to protect the lovely carpets.
The location was really good,walking distance to most attractions so no need to use a car at all. Apartment was clean and very well equipped. Would definitely recommend staying here.

United KingdomYou can sum up the feeling of being at this property by saying that they limit the supply of cheap Aldi toilet rolls provided to two per stay, and they left us with a cracked toilet seat held together by sellotape. In fairness they replaced the toilet seat when we reported it, but this was just the tip of the iceberg. The property is cold, with no obvious way to turn on any heating. The kitchen was left in a barely cleaned state, and the carpets could use deep cleaning. The bedding consisted of thin, summer weight duvets. We were all shivering at night. The tiny, mouldy bathroom is equipped with a mediocre shower, with a shower-head pole that's just about managing to remain attached. It's a part of town where there's no chance of parking, but to be fair, we didn't expect to be able to park there. Overall, the property is very oversold. Some of the listings suggest it has laundry facilities, which it doesn't. This pales into insignificance compared with their claim that the property could house 6 adults. Not a chance. There's a master bedroom with a decent double bed. Then there's a second suite that comes off the master. Cosy. This has a "double" bunk bed. That's a three quarter sized double-bed-sized high-rise bunk. Our two children, 8 & 10, had to sleep head to toe in order to fit into the bed, and our 10 year old couldn't sit up in bed as she'd bump her head on the ceiling. Fitting two adults in that space to sleep would be a push. Then there's the worn, uncomfortable, and very grubby sofa bed. It's a three seater sofa that folds out into a sofa bed. We didn't try it. We doubt two adults would be able to use it, unless they happened to be especially well miniaturised. Space in Edinburgh is at a premium, and these old buildings are hard to heat and hard to prevent from getting damp. This building is at the bottom end of welcoming places to stay. We were very relieved to leave.
Location is pretty useful for getting to most parts of the city. There is adequate TV and WiFi.
