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 KingdomOnly problems we experienced were the shower being a bit small and difficult to get in aswell as it leaking. And the tv was placed awkwardly but could not be helped with the location of windows.
Nice clean room. Great location, 10 minute bus to and from the airport and 10/15 minutes by bus to get into the city centre with the bus stop right outside. Staff were great about our flight being delayed and us checking in at 1am. Food was lovely in the restaurant too. Overall a good little room for a 2 night stay.

United KingdomAlthough a carvery,would be nice to have a little more choice at mealtimes. If staying several days,don’t want same meal all the time. Perhaps a cottage pie,or a pastry pie would be good. Ditto with breakfast,seemed only full Scottish or cereal and toast.
Lovely relaxing stay. Everything fine. Staff helpful and friendly,especially Donna who always excelled. Buses to the centre of Edinburgh stop outside and very regular. Nice room,big bathroom. No need to look elsewhere for future visits.

United StatesThe toilet seat came off frequently. We were not told that the towels we got on check in were the only ones we would get for our stay. The shower design allows water to escape the shower, so we had to use our towels to dry the floor.
The neighborhood was lovely and the restaurant was fantastic.

South AfricaThe only complaints I have about the room is that the flush of the toilet was not really working. And a bit of a weird smell in the room, but you get used to it. Good value for money overall.
Everything you need for a short stay while exploring Edinburgh. It's a small room but clean, comfortable, and warm, and that's all you need. The shower had good water pressure, which we always appreciate. Friendly staff. Easy commute to city centre and the airport with bus stops just outside the hotel. Breakfast is also passable.

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.

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.
