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 KingdomIt’s obvious the Hotel has new owners and I think the standards have dropped slightly. The rooms we’ve had on our last few visits haven’t been as clean as previously. Although not bad, the breakfast hasn’t been as nice as before and the parking has crept up to £18 for overnight. It used to be really good value for money but not anymore.
Stayed there quite a few times over the years due to its location and parking facilities. Staff are polite with no issues at all with them.

MaltaThe continental breakfast was basic. Bread, tea, coffee and juices, yoghurt, jams, cereal, store bought crossiants and pastries. No cold cuts/cheese etc which would have been nice. The main concern was the first room, room 106. The bedroom had black mould. We had to stay there for one night and then they changed our room the next day. Obviously this is disgusting and dangerous. Luggage room is just a room which is accessible, it is not locked.
The staff is nice and accommodating, we had to leave early and their breakfast starts at 7:30am so they served us a continental breakfast earlier. They also solved the room issue right away. I also left my charger plugged in and realised a few minutes after checking out, they found it and kept it in a safe place for me. Cooked breakfast is good, especially the eggs benedict. Location is good, a 20 minute walk away from the centre but well connected via bus. Haymarket station is also close by (10 minute walk).

United KingdomIt wasn't clean, we stayed 3 nights and the coffee/tea wasn't replaced. Although you can walk to the centre, it is quite a walk and up and down hill. It isn't pleasant in the rain (this isn't the hotels fault). We had trouble finding the car park and when we did, we couldn't get into it and we had to park up at the side of the road to get instructions from inside. I think these need to be emailed before you get there. The staff left us a note with a blood stain on it. I gave it to reception, and I didn't even receive an apology. The TV didn't have signal so you couldn't watch TV. Thankfully the TV had netflix so I logged into my own account and it worked fine. We had breakfast one morning and got eggs benedict but my eggs were hard boiled.
The bed was comfy. The room had everything we needed. I liked how we could park underground as parking in Edinburgh is very expensive.

United KingdomIt's location
I think the room was smaller than expected and the bathroom not only had visible mould but it also smelt of mould. The bed looked as though it was going to be an uncomfortable sleep for 3 nights but it was actually fine, i don't tend to move much in my sleep but others reported that their beds had big dip in the middle. The location was great which is probably what we paid for. The staff were pleasant and accommodating. It balanced itself out so couldn't really complaine.

United KingdomThe only gripe was more about other customers rather than staff tbh , it seamed to be unorganised when it came to sitting down for breakfast, everyone got asked what time they were coming down so tables would be available but always seamed to have to sit in another room due to people just coming down at any time rather than when they said they were.
The location was ideal for everything we wanted to do , staff were polite and very helpful, rooms were very comfortable and ideal
