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.).

Czech RepublicWe only stayed here for one night, but we were very satisfied. The owner was very nice, and accessibility from the city center was perfect even at night. Close to the beach as well (we recommend using the bus), which of course we had to visit. The breakfast was modest, but tasted very good, and, most importantly, it was delivered to the room :). We can definitely recommend this accommodation.

United StatesBecause we arrived a day early, the heating for the room was off and the staff also menti9ned it went off in the building at midnight. We froze the whole night even with extra blankets they had. That was the only challenge.
I accidentally booked the wrong night and the staff was wonderful in changing it to a day early - thankfully the room was available! Breakfast was sent to the room and somple, yet delicious. Beds were comfortable.

United KingdomThe price and value of this stay compared to anywhere else in Edinburgh around Christmas means I can’t have anything bad to say about this place
Great place to stay, perfect location just outside Edinburgh. Beds were comfortable, extra blanket was perfect and soft. Lots of facilities, kettle, fridge and good shower/toilet especially for the price. Continental Breakfast served to the room was lovely and fresh, Abe was a lovely man who seemed to genuinely care about his guests, very helpful and knowledgable of the city. We are coming back to Edinburgh and will definitely be staying here again!!

United KingdomThe window frame was not very clean. Almost the entire time I was in the hotel there was no cold water in the tap; I thought there was none in the city. But it turned out that the maid had the opportunity to turn it on. It was difficult for me to wash my face with only hot water.
The room has a refrigerator, kettle, shower with a working extractor, fire alarm, the room was neat. Possibility of room cleaning every day. Clean bed, snow-white linens. Breakfast is brought to your room, no need to fight for it in a line of hungry guests. Very nice, responsive and friendly staff. There is heating and it is possible to open the window for ventilation.

Everything!! It is even better than all the famous hotel chains I have ever lived in. Abe is so friendly and detail oriented. I need to leave early in the morning and he prepared the breakfast and sent to me at 6:45am, which is impressive and helpful for the full day travel. Hotel room is spacious and clean, you have everything. There is also a bus 44 right in front of the house, so quite convenient. If I come to Edinburgh again, for sure I will book again.

RomaniaPerfect place to stay in, I really loved staying there. The place is close to the Holyrood park which is so so beautiful and peaceful. Also, it has good connection from the airport. The room was so cozy, I felt immediately at home, and it was so quiet, so no problems with the sleep, also the bed was comfortable. Abe was so sweet and welcoming and I really enjoyed the almost "breakfast in bed" the next day😁. Not sure why people are complaining about this, cause I enjoyed having breakfast in my peaceful room and everything was so good, even great coffee! I feel so grateful and I cannot recommend the place enough:)
