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 KingdomThe only thing we didn't like was the carpet in the room - I picked lots of hairs. Not sure if they didn't hoover prior our arrival or their vacuum cleaner is not powerful enough to lift balls of hairs from the carpet.
Nice place to stay for a short trip. Staff was friendly, big and clean bathroom. Very handy that the bar is open all night, in case you want to get down and have drink.

Staff very friendly and helpful, our room very clean and comfortable. Breakfast was what you would expect from a low cost hotel and plenty of it. The location was fabulous you walked out of the hotel straight onto the bus stop which took you right into the heart of the city.

IrelandProbably a separate reception for check in, it's a bit unclear when you arrive where to go. You can see that the bar staff (who were excellent btw) running check in while also running a busy dinner service is not ideal.
Very clean and comfortable. Staff were excellent. Having the carvery is a great option for a quick meal.

United KingdomWas looking forward to the little body lotion toiletry (smells lush) usually get them at innkeepers lodge but not at this one. The bed was closed in and next to the wall - which means you have to wake up your partner to get out and obviously no side table to put a drink on. Still fine for one night though - the friendly staff made it worthwhile.
The staff are lovely. Very friendly and festive! The room was clean, comfortable and warm. Easy to get into city centre with the bus stop being right outside. The food at Toby Carvery is delicious.

United KingdomOn a couple of days we were back to the hotel early and wanted to just relax with the tv on and it was lacking the majority of basic channels. This is more of a nit pick and not the end of the world
The room was clean and well laid out. The staff were very friendly. We saw Angela and Simone every morning for breakfast who weee both very nice and welcoming. Kieran made the check in procedure quick and easy. The property was close to the zoo which is also a massive plus

United KingdomEverything was fine for me.
I am a returning guest and know Edinburgh well. The Toby location is ideal for public transport to get into the city and onward public transport needs eg bus connections, tram stop and train station at Haymarket. My room was comfortable and I was issued any extra or other items that were available eg extra pillow, towels, cofffee mug etc.. I did not eat breakfast at the Toby this visit as ventured into the city for 'haggis rolls'.

Czech RepublicI do not recommend room 206. there was an irregular noise during the night probably from the air conditioning room adjacent to the room. It wasn't that loud, but disturbing in the stillness of the night.
Perfect place for sightseeing in Edinburg. Excellent rooms. Perfect breakfast. Free parking.
