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 KingdomWhen we made the booking, breakfast was included, which we needed for the kids. but when we arrived, we found that due to a change in management, breakfast was not avaliable and there were no partial refund.
Great location, standard rooms but comfortable and nice staff when needed. Keypad to enter rooms was good, as it eliminated the need to carry keys around whilst out and about.

United KingdomNothing
Comfortable single room with all basic amenities at very reasonable rate booked long in advance to attend Edinburgh Fringe events. Very clean shared shower/toilet. Quiet, no street noise or from other guests. Bus stop nearby but easy walking distance along a main street with interesting shops/cafes into city. Felt safe to walk back alone the 20-25 minutes in the middle of the night after my Fringe events. Would book again.

AustraliaThere are quite a few stairs to get up to the rooms and down to the car park so not ideal if you have mobility issues or very heavy luggage.
Nice room with tea/coffee facilities. It came with sink inside the room which was great to brush teeth, refill water bottles ect. Instead of having to use the shared bathroom. The bed was comfortable and there were two little stools to sit by the window. Bonus that the place comes with car parking facilities.

IrelandNothing to complain about. This guest house is more like a motel, you do not meet anyone at reception and entry is done anonymously via codes for the door. It is a bedroom with shared toilet and shower. This was not a problem for me.
Great location, about 20 min walk from centre of Edinburgh. Spotlessly clean and nice bedroom with a lovely comfortable bed.

United KingdomNo visible staff or reception room. Good text/email service and plenty of contact information available if required, so remember to keep your phone on you! No longer does breakfasts and no fridge available for own food.
My room was clean and comfortable and had all facilities i was expecting. Small shared shower room and toilet across hall but I didnt see anyone else the whole time, don't think anyone else had used it and it was always free and clean with shower gel available. Different pin codes on both external and bedrooms doors so need to remember them, or carry phone at all times as no staff around at all. If you got locked out with no phone, you would be stuck. Parking for around 8 cars at the back. I felt safe and comfortable there and would stay again. 10 mins walk from Queens Hall or a bit further to the city, lots of shops on the way.
