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 KingdomThere was a lot of loud construction work going on that we were not warned about prior to stay. Not a huge deal, but it was quite loud and disruptive for a while in the evening after checking in. The room had no Kleenexes, and I understand they want to be “environmentally friendly” but tissues are kind of essential, toilet paper is not a suitable alternative. The pillows were pretty flat and hard and there was just a thin sparse duvet as a cover, so definitely not a comfortable bed.
Great location and beautiful inside, artwork and wall murals and decor throughout the hotel and room were modern and very unique. The staff were friendly and helpful, and provided us with all the information we needed upon checking in, regarding breakfast, checkout times, accessing internet, etc. Room was very clean and pleasant. Continental breakfast was perfect, great selection available, all fresh and delicious, and a kettle and selection of teas/coffee was provided in the room.

RomaniaThe old rooms that are not refurbished are far from what you would expect. Worn out and dusty. Cleanliness could be done better: there are a lot of hidden dusty spots in the room that would need a thorough cleaning. Prices are high...but considering Edinburgh city center...you have to accept it as default.
We had 2 rooms: the first one was an old one that didn't meet our expectations. The staff was great and supportive and helped us to change it with a complete refurbished one that made our 2nd night much more enjoyable. Overall, the hotel is good, perfectly located in Edinburgh center, with good refurbished rooms on the upper floor, and good breakfast options. Hotel staff deserves to be mentioned due to their support and customer focused attitude.

Able to drop off the bagage early in the morning. Very comfortable bed with a firm mattrass. If you like watching tv, then you are in luck, the room has a big tv.

IrelandQueen room very small .Limited space to move around and limited storage .Also a note re cost when I booked it was at a rate in Euro but when I went to pay on arrival as recommended when booking the cost in euro had increased .It should be made clear at time of booking that when guests pay in euro the rate of exchange at date of payment comes in to play .
Location .Quiet at night .Very good breakfast .Staff very helpful .

RomaniaNo complains.
Very confortable room , recently refurbished. Breakfast with many choices and of a good quality. Staff from the reception, breakfast room and room cleaning very responsive to the customers needs. We asked at the reception desk for an additional duvet and we got it immediately. The reception staff answered to all our questions regarding the important touristic sights to visit and how yo reach them. The hotel is located in a central quiet area, very close to many tourist attractions.
