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.).

AustraliaPretty much perfect in every way. Nice large comfortable room and no stairs. Linda was a wonderful host. We were able to leave our car and utilise the buses to access Edinburgh which was a bonus. We would highly recommend this guest house to anyone lucky enough to get a booking. 10 out of 10 for us.

United StatesThings that could have been better- 1. We prefer going to a breakfast room but if you prefer in room service then this place is for you. Lynda served it herself (with a smile!) 2. When we read cooked breakfast we thought it was things like eggs and bacon. (A full British breakfast) It wasn’t. We had cereal and toast. They had croissants and pancakes too so I think the “cooked” was the pancakes. 3. Having a breakfast table and chairs in the room took up space but there were only two of us so it was ok.
Positives - 1. Parking right outside our room. 2. Lynda met us on arrival and is super friendly. Knowledgeable about the areas and gave us a lot of good information. Easy check in. 3. Room is nice. There isn’t a breakfast room. Breakfast is brought to your room. Lynda leaves good tea/coffee makings and snacks. Nice bathroom and shower. 4. Buses run nearby to get to the city. It’s about a 25 mins ride to get there.

United StatesThis is NOT A DISLIKE! Ingleneuk is a 20 minute express bus ride from Edinburgh city center, so be prepared for that. It's a 5 minute walk from the bus stop, so make sure to add in travel time for anything you've booked in Edinburgh. I was glad to be out of the bustle at the end of the day.
Wonderful place to stay! The owner, Lynda, was delightful, the breakfast was lovely with a nice selection (you choose your options daily), the room was large, more like a suite with table, chairs and sofa, very comfortable and quiet. The garden/wilderness with a little arched bridge, wildlife (squirrels, fox, pigeons) off the garden door was a lovely restful place to relax or look out at over breakfast. I would stay here again if I went back to Edinburgh.

Cannot fault this property! Friendly, polite and helpful staff and the best night sleep I’ve had away from home in a long time (and I travel a lot). Thank you Alan and Lynda for being such lovely hosts. Wouldn’t hesitate to stay again.
