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.).

Impeccable The service stellar ! Best hotel and staff . The meals were wonderful. I am considering hosting my retreat group here next May 2025. The location was within walking distance of St Mary's cathedral, which took my breath away as well as other sites. I stayed an extra night and received a phenomenal upgraded room with a beautiful view. Loved it all!

This is a special place to stay. It’s in the elegant crescent of the Georgian town houses. When we arrived, we were instantly wrapped in luxurious atmosphere. It may be a bit far from the central Edinburgh, but actually it is an easy walking distance. We enjoyed staying in this lavishly and tastefully furnished hotel. Both restaurant and bar were very good, too. We will definitely go back there next time we go to Edinburgh.

LatviaThe only bad thing that comes in mind is that there was no closet in the room where we could hang our clothes so we had to put everything on chairs.
Very clean. Great staff. Nice drinks. Great breakfast! Great location! Overall really good experience. The staff provided us with late-checkout for free, because we needed some extra sleep.

MexicoService in bar area, at times very slow, and did not match the friendliness of the front office. Could be more pro active with greeting guests and acknowledging their presence, even if busy, a recognition is always appreciated. Tables slow to be cleared while eating.
Front desk staff were fabulous. Told us a lot about the history of the property.

United StatesWhat a beautiful hotel! Everything, and I mean everything, was excellent. The breakfast was amazing each morning. The room was spacious and elegant. Everything was clean. The staff were friendly and helpful. And the location was perfect - out of the busy areas, but just a 10-15 min walk to the castle. Can’t wait to come back.
