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 KingdomOverall, the room was a little tired. The bathroom extractor fan did not work so we had a sauna experience. Reported the fault but not remedied during the stay. Nothing else of note.
Free car parking for a good standard hotel is hard to come by, so is a definite plus. The staff were very helpful and always said hello in the passing. When we made a request to the front desk it was attended to within minutes, which was also most helpful. Hotel was clean and has a lovely waterfront location. Easy access to good public transport into the centre of Edinburgh. Comfortable bed and pillows.

United KingdomDinner menu limited and expensive. Taps wonky. Shower reluctant to deliver hot water, fixed shower head made it difficult to wash without getting hair wet. Lighting too dim to read, don't want low light all the time. View was a brick wall and scaffolding. Some ventilation fan noise through pipes from other rooms (long after my fan went off). Breakfast nice but fried eggs tended to have set yolks. Gym could have more varied equipment rather than 6 identical running machines. 1cm gap around bathroom window frosting. Decor too understated, particularly corridors. Frosted layer obscured corridor windows - any view would be better. Would be nice if bars could stay open after 11. These are minor points.
Good location, great helpful staff. Good and warm. Bar nice. 24 hour gym. Close to tram.

United KingdomThe rather tired, sombre grey/brown decor became a little wearing after a while. The flush on the toilet in our ensuite was so weak it carried nothing away. It was disappointing to find the floor lamp was non-functional which rendered the room very dark (see comment about decor).
The Malmaison Edinburgh is superbly located in the Leith Docks area. It has a good size car park and it was nice to be upgraded to a big room on checking in.

United KingdomThe extractor fan in the bathroom would not switch off; it ran for the entire period of our stay. The passageway to our room had a problem with squeaking floorboards throughout its length possibly caused by an exposed hot water pipe below?
Location overlooking the old harbour was a delight. Malmaison, though of Victorian origins is a well engineered conversion. The bar area is also well thought out and comfortable. The city tramway stop is close-by, an ideal way to travel up to Edinburgh.

IrelandSeems strange to need a passkey to enter hotel after 9 30pm. Also to have toiletries bolted to wall, so you couldn't use freely. Toilet didn't flush and staff kept saying maintenance would fix it, on our last night, I asked a manager to change rooms, which was done and he offered a complimentary breakfast. Coffee machine at breakfast only made 1 cup at a time, so long queues for coffee.
Gorgeous old building. Comfy beds, Food in restaurant good.
