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.).

PortugalClose to the centre with plenty of transport options, but if you want to walk from the centre to the accommodation it's also easy (we did this both days we were in town). The house is very spacious, ideal for groups (ours was 6 adults). The accommodation is clean and very comfortable. The host is very willing to help with any questions that may arise. It has an oven, so if you want to make pizzas and other quick meals you have that option. There are lots of shops (pubs, supermarkets, pharmacy, etc) within a few minutes' walk.

United KingdomThe stairs need a bit of care but that's just part of the layout
The property was wonderful. We were a party of four adults and four children and found it a perfect place to stay for a three-night visit to Edinburgh. It was a quirky layout, but in a good way. A lot of care has been taken to make it comfortable. The proximity to the tram stop and shops really helped. The owner also sent a lot of really helpful information before we arrived.

Had everything we needed, cups, plates, fridge. Comfy beds and very spacious. Great location for trams and buses to and from Edinburgh City centre, as well as the airport. Would definitely recommend to friends and family

United StatesThe bathroom needs a refresh and is expected to get one soon, I believe.
The location is ideal! We were able to take the tram from the “foot of the walk” stop nearly every where we wanted to go to in town. The owner also smoothed out a few bumps during our trip by being available by phone and attentive to our needs.

Good location if you don't mind a quick bus/tram ride; super quiet rooms; extremely helpful and friendly host; fully equipped kitchen; plenty of beds and space. There is also an Enterprise branch a short walk away if you're planning on renting a car for trips further afield. No reason not to like, really!

PolandOne bathroom, quite small but the landlord informed us about it upfront and in the end it was not a big problem.
Very good option for bigger groups (6 persons - 3 separate bedrooms plus living room with kitchen). Apartment at the second floor in the tenement house. Quite though 2 minutes walk to tram and buss station. Great pub nearby (the Central Bar - karaoke on Sunday evening - don't miss it, even if you do not sing yourself;))

United KingdomLovely clean apartment, not far from all the shops and attractions. If you don't like walking so much the is lots of transport options to get you to the old town but the walk is lovely and lots to see on the way. Lots of space to relax in the apartment and everything you need to cook if you didn't want to eat out. The host is in contact from the start to make sure your stay is as comfortable as possible.couldnt ask for more. All had fresh bedding and towels when we arrive. The was nothing I felt we needed extra. Car parking was available on the street at no extra charge. We had a lovely stay, and would definitely book this apartment again.

United Kingdomnothing to note
The property is located 10-15 minutes from Leith shore with plenty of good cafes, restaurants and pubs nearby. Walking into the city centre takes about half an hour. There are good bus services. We were a group of four so two people had to share the twin room which was fine for 3 nights. There is one bathroom and one sofa which was manageable for four but might be more difficult for larger groups.
