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 StatesOur Room was very cramped - not that surprising for rooms in Hotels in European Cities everywhere. But lighting in the room was a bit weird and very poorly designed and particularly poor in the Bathroom. Shower Stall was incredibly tight. The first day, the drain n the shower overflowed almost flooded the bathroom floor. Took a look and the drain opening diameter was the size of a bathroom sink drain. Drain was cleared by maintenance. Room HVAC was inadequate. Layout of the room was poor. Breakfast food quality was mediocre.
The location of this property cannot be beat - in the heart of the Royal Mile. the Staff was mostly outstanding and very engaging and helpful

AustraliaAdequate just for sleeping. Small room and tiny bathroom for the price. Fittting in two cases was tight. We are a tall couple but not overweight. Having to juggle around the bathroom door to get into bathroom was awkward. Be hard for an overweight person. Cleaners may want to check under the bed for bits of rubbish left by others.
Staff and breakfast and room supplies were great. Comfy bed. Room and bathroom very clean.

BrazilIt's an Ibis, so you know it's not very comfortable, rough on the edges and "cheap".
The location is absolutely perfect for old town Edinburgh. You can hardly get better than that.

United StatesI normally don't like to spend this much money on a hotel room. The location is nice, but I still feel like it was a bit pricey for the room.
This hotel is located just off the Royal Mile on Hunter Square; close to many shops, restaurants, pubs, and other attractions. My wife and I arrived at Waverly rail station and were able to walk with our roller bag luggage to the hotel, although it was uphill the entire way from the station.

United StatesWe really didn't have any complaints!
The location is excellent right off the Royal Mile. The room was spacious enough and the beds were on the firmer side, which we like. The staff were very helpful in answering questions and even did it cheerily. Hunter Square is hopping so expect some noise at times - didn't bother us but the hotel will provide earplugs if you want them.
