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 KingdomMy only complaint was the WiFi didn't work. Not a huge deal but wasn't the best.
Staff were accommodating and friendly. The apartment was spotless and it was a lovely place to spend the night.

United KingdomShower was luke warm in morning .. maybe just bad timing on our part in terms of everyone getting ready to check out at same time but a hot shower is a bit of a must for me!
Clean, bright garden room on bottom floor. Location great ... very central.

United StatesToo many steps to go up with luggage but it was cute once in the unit. The microwave was strange and I never figured out how to use it. No stove in the little kitchen and the light in the kitchen did not always work. So loud at night on the street from people and something that cars were driving over. I had a horrible night of sleep. The drain or water in Edinburgh smelled stinky but it could be from old pipes. No parking anywhere in Edinburgh and really hard to load up a car with luggage out front anywhere on the old narrow streets.
Very convenient to Edinburgh. Cute old place.

United KingdomThe beds were a little firm. You could hear the noise of heating and running water of the pipes from other rooms over night but this is to be expected on the ground floor.
A lovely few nights of stay at the studio apartment with garden access. Room was very clean and and warmed up prior arriving in this winter season, excellent welcome to the property at check in. A very homely feel to the room, perfect for a solo traveler. At the heart of all the shops, cafes, pubs and restaurants with beautiful scenic views. Easy to locate the property.

Isle of ManIt got a bit noisy because u close to everything but not to bad. I also think it maybe because of the setup of Christmas markets.
Great apartment. Very clean and spacious. It's such an awesome location. Right off princess Street. It's a much bigger place that what u usually get.
