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.).

The atmosphere of being in a period property. The lovely decor which reflected both the French and the Scottish cultures. It had a warm, cosy vibe. Great location, not far from Grassmarket and The Royal Mile and handy for the Festival Theatre. The staff were really welcoming and added to the enjoyment of our stay.

Gorgeous hotel just a few minutes walk from the Old Town. Our room was really lovely as was the breakfast, really great choices of food and a decent coffee machine!!! We chose to not have our room cleaned for the time we were there and received drinks vouchers in exchange, what a fab idea!!! If you ran out of anything, so tea/coffee etc. you just asked reception, it was no bother, the staff were very lovely and approachable.

United KingdomCan't think of anything. The only thing I am not sure about is that I upgraded the room. It said that the de-luxe had a free standing bath - our room didn't but to be honest we wouldn't have had time to enjoy it!
Staff were very friendly and welcoming. We upgraded our room to include breakfast which was superb. Location was perfect. This was not the cheapest accommodation in Edinburgh but was perfect for our special stay. Thank you

Everything! The staff were friendly, helpful, available 24/7 and nothing was too much trouble - taxis on Christmas Eve, bed configurations, rooms together, center courtyard requests, menu choices for Christmas Day lunch. They made our holiday so personable and warm.

South AfricaI wish I could have been upgraded to a similar room I had before on my last visit, but that been said there was nothing that I didn't like.
I always enjoy staying at the Hotel du Vin. The staff are always friendly and helpful. The hotel itself is a lovely place to come back to after exploring the city. Dining in the restaurant is thoroughly enjoyable as meals are delicious and the atmosphere cozy and relaxing.

The breakfast was lovely, good choice on the continental and my husband enjoyed his hot food. We had the tasting menu one evening in the restaurant which was really good quality, excellent service and ambience. Overall I would highly recommend this hotel, it’s a perfect spot for exploring Edinburgh.
