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.).

CanadaA more comfortable couch and an extra living room chair would have been nice. A few more instructions on the use of the washer/dryer would also be helpful.
I loved the proximity to local attractions and public transit, the quiet nights, and the cleanliness of the apt. I was also very appreciative of the owner’s kindness and understanding of our delay on arrival. I would definitely recommend this property to others.

United KingdomThe location of this apartment is excellent, within walking distance of many of the sites. Even though the apartment is on a main tourist street, the noise was minimal and we had no trouble sleeping. The bed was very comfortable, and the apartment was very clean and nice! We loved the decor and cozy feeling of the apartment. We would definitely recommend a stay here for a visit to Edinburgh! Both Amanda and Gary were great hosts, and Amanda met us when we first arrived to give us the keys and a rundown of the apartment, and was very accommodating with our early arrival time.

United StatesNothing, everything was absolutely perfect.
We loved everything. The host met us on location, and the flat was even more beautiful than we expected. I cannot think of a better location in all of Edinburgh than this place. The decor and attention to detail to make you feel like you were in Scotland was lovely, the amenities were everything we could ask for. I feel like we hit the lottery picking this place.

GermanyRecommend having lotion for guests. The shower curtain stops in the middle of the tub. It would be much better and a bigger area to shower if the current went all the way around the tub and not through the middle of the tub.

PolandThe apartment is wonderful, decorated with attention to every detail, in the Scottish style, so you can feel the atmosphere of Scotland. The apartment exceeded our expectations! It is incredibly located, close to everything. Just around the corner is Victoria Street and below there are Scottish bars with music, but the apartment is quiet. The owner is nice and helpful. I recommend to everyone!
