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 StatesSo much room for a family. The beds were amazing and comfortable. James was amazing and had so much information at the house for us. We ate at the local pub and tea room that were walking distance and they were great. It’s an easy commute into the city if you want to drive, take the bus, or get a taxi. Definitely recommend staying here.

United KingdomRoslin Self Catering is located in a village 8 miles from Edinburgh. From the moment I arrived, I was captivated by the beauty of the surroundings and the warm hospitality offered by James. This Weekend truly redefined the meaning of a perfect getaway. The accommodation itself was a delightful blend of rustic charm and modern comfort. The accommodation units were impeccably clean, exquisitely designed, and equipped with all the modern comforts you could wish for. The attention to detail in the decor and amenities highlighted a thoughtful touch that elevated the stay to a level of luxury that exceeded my expectations. The bedroom and living room have been elegantly furnished, offering a perfect balance between comfort and luxury. What really set this accommodation apart, however, was James' exceptional hospitality. From the first interaction, it was clear that his dedication to ensuring a memorable stay was unwavering. His genuine warmth and willingness to accommodate any request made us feel like valued guests rather than mere passing travelers. His local insights and recommendations for exploring the area were invaluable, enriching our visit with hidden gems I would have otherwise missed. In addition to outstanding accommodation and outstanding service, James' dedication to sustainability and responsible tourism was truly In summary, our two-day stay at this Roslin accommodation was very magical. The harmonious blend of charming surroundings, impeccable hospitality, and the personal touch of James made this an experience that will be etched in our memories forever. If you're seeking a retreat that transcends the ordinary and offers an unparalleled connection to the heart and soul of a destination, look no further – this accommodation and its exceptional owner will capture your heart and leave you longing for a return visit. :)

United StatesJames (the host) was AMAZING! Not only did he give us a complete & thorough tour of our accommodation, but he provided insight on all of the best things to do in the area, explained how to use the local public transport, and even offered to help us if we found ourselves in a bind during our trip to Edinburgh! If you have the opportunity to stay here, DO IT! Bonus: gated parking & access to building. We were on a mother/daughters trip and felt beyond safe here. Worth its weight in gold.

Really lovely place. The rooms were spacious, clean, modern and the beds very comfortable. James was an amazing host. We ended up arriving a few hours later than the normal check-in hours and James accommodated our arrival without any hassle. He went over and beyond to help make our stay enjoyable. You will find everything you need here, from a Mac Pc to an umbrella for rainy Scotland. It was just a great experience. I highly recommend Roslyn Self Catering to anyone visiting Edinburgh. Wish we weren’t just passing through!

A superb holiday house with two floors in the grounds of a larger house. A spacious open plan lounge and dining room, and separate small kitchen and toilet on the ground floor. A large bedroom on the first floor with two double beds and a separate bathroom with shower. All beautifully decorated with excellent quality furnishings and fittings and everything we needed for our two night stay. Great wifi. A welcome pack of essentials and lots of information on the area were supplied. The host, James, greeted us and explained everything on arrival and was extremely friendly and helpful during our visit. Parking in front of the house and a private pedestrian gate. The location is convenient for the chapel and there's a nice local pub, plus a regular bus service to Edinburgh. It could not have been better for us.
