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.).

Exceptional staff who welcomed us, even though we were 4 hours early, and gave us breakfast. Easy-going but very professional. Great atmosphere & decor well finished.

United KingdomThe first room we were shown to had a tiny bathroom and the sink was in the main bedroom. It wasn't the end of the world but I'm really glad we upgraded our room as It made the stay much more comfortable.
Stayed here for 4 nights and had a fabulous time. Breakfast was fantastic and the staff were always friendly and helpful. Great location, we got lucky with the weather and so walked everywhere from the hotel. When we arrived we had the option to upgrade our room, which we did and it was really worth it. I would absolutely recommend staying in one of the executive rooms over the superior rooms. The bed was unbelievably comfortable and very roomy. We had dinner in the main restaurant on our last night and the food, although pricey for our budget, was exceptional. Staff were also great with my food allergy and were very accommodating. Would really recommend staying at the Roseate, we hope to come back next year.

The dinner was very good, breakfast amazing, same for the bar and the afternoon tea. We will definitely be back, thank you all for a lovely and wonderful experience!

United KingdomRain shower was more of a rain drizzle. A hotel proclaiming to be, and charging as, a top tier boutique hotel they need to install a pressurised water system. I know it was the off season but there was a choice of only two main dishes on the evening menu and the dishes did not change while staying. The dish we did have was somewhat uninspiring. (This is Edinburgh so plenty of choice within easy reach).
A member of staff noticed out arrival and came out to the car to help with luggage. Check in was done after having arranged a drink for us and given us a seat. Unlike nearly all post Brexit experiences of Uk hotels it was well staffed with prompt service by experienced knowledgeable staff. Paid for large room which was adequate.

United KingdomThe only niggle for me was the size of the room key/ key chain was huge and difficult to pop in a small handbag for an evening out, but apart from that everything was exactly how I like it.
Very convenient location from the airport - 25mins, Murrayfield Stadium is a short walk and into town 15mins walk or bus less time - straight line on the 100 Airport Bus. Beautiful old building, comfortably furnished. The hotel smelt heavenly as one enters. The lounge and bar area is comfortable and cosy. The hotel room was a bit small but clean and well appointed, with plenty of plug outlets for charging and laptops etc. I slept very well. The hotel staff were very friendly and welcoming. I really enjoyed my stay and hope to come back with family and not just for work.

Warm welcome by hotel staff. We arrived very early in the morning, hours before check-in, but they let us rest our feet in the restaurant, which was very nice. The room was bigger than we thought, and well stocked. Probably one of the best hotel breakfasts I've ever had (the porridge was exquisite).

United KingdomDecided to dine at the restaurant as well as have a few drinks at the hotel in the evening. Find it slightly odd (especially considering the bill was around £100 at the time) that we were requested to pay while we were still ordering nibbles and drinks to our table.
Really nice staff, great service! Greeted with tea upon arrival, breakfast was prepared perfectly. Was booked as a birthday surprise and a little note along with a little treat was ready to greet us in the room, very nice touch! Nice decor and very clean and good location, not far from central Edinburgh.
