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.).

Very good location, close to train station and tram stop. 15minute walk to city center. Room very spacious and clean, but not luxurious. Breakfast good in both quality and quantity, however not a big variety.

BulgariaI rented two rooms, one for me and my bf, and one for my parents . Ours was very cosy, their, however, felt excessively big. So, their feedback: brown headboards were a bit overpowering in the whiteness of the room, there was no rug under the cute round table with chairs to bring cosiness which also led to scratched floors. My parents loved our room with the statement wallpaper and art over the headboard, but disliked theirs as it felt big, white, empty. Just feedback, nothing major to complain about. Personally, I would recommend putting a silicone thing on the shower cabin floor, it was slippery. And the breakfast utensils downstairs could be handled in a more undisturbing hour, like after 8am or before 10pm. We could hear the cling-clang noises.
I wanted to stay at a little more traditionally-decorated place, and the Haymarket Hotel totally had the vibes - high ceilings, high windows, chandeliers, big bed headboards, etc. Tea, instant coffee in the room, iron, hair-dryer, everything needed. The location was convenient - close to the train station and tram, and bus stops. Overall, I would stay there again. I liked my stay.

United KingdomQuite a lot of noise from the other guests throughout the night which disrupted sleep a lot. Because it is an older building the sound is clearly audible and travels throughout the building. The room was also very hot and would’ve benefited from some ventilation. It was very expensive for what you get but it’s Edinburgh so probably not unexpected.
Nice location, good amenities in the room and clean. Close to the train station. Offered to look after my luggage for the day while I was out exploring Edinburgh which I really appreciated.

Hong KongThe room shown in the website pictures looks much more classical and high quality. But the actual condition is a little bit different from my expectation.
The room is large with high ceiling, The bed is large and comfortable. The windows are large and high. But there is no table for dinning or desktop working. You can only put all your belongings on the bed. Although the hotel is not at the city center, it is only a 1-minute walk to the nearest tram and bus stops. There are only 1 tram stop to the Dean Village, 2 tram stops to the Princes Street, and 3 tram stops to the central train station. Therefore its location is still convenient if you do not have to live in the city center. The breakfast is good, and the reception gives satisfied service. The customer service team also gives fast response to my questions raised through booking.com
