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.).

South AfricaWe enjoyed our stay at The Hedges. Paul and Yvonne were very friendly and responsive, and provided all the information we asked for, as well as some extra tips about the city. The room was very clean and comfortable. We also appreciated the little Scottish extras (whisky and shortbread) that were waiting in our room! We were able to store our luggage at the property as our flight only left in the evening, which was also appreciated.

United KingdomHosts Yvonne and Paul were wonderful, so kind and diligent. Our room was lovely and the property is stunning and well looked after. We slept so well in the comfy bed, enjoyed teas and homemade shortbread, with refills! Bathroom facilities all great. The Hedges is only a 15 min walk from central Edinburgh and the station, so a great location. We would definitely stay again and recommend to friends.

United KingdomNo faults - only that we couldn’t stay here for longer!!
The photos don’t do this place justice; our room was beautifully decorated and spacious. Paul and Yvonne kindly left us some welcome treats, including mince pies, gingerbread men, ferrero rochers and more, which made our stay even better! The location was perfect - I’m a very quiet area, but close to the city centre. It was a short walk into the centre where we spent our weekend. Our room was lovely and warm, which after a very wet and cold weekend, was exactly what we needed. We hope to come back to Edinburgh in the future, and would love to stay again. Thank you for making our stay so great!

This property was exceptional. It was warm, cosy and welcoming. There was everything you could possibly want, from white fluffy towels, lovely soaps and lotions and the lavender sleep spray next to the bed. There were home made shortbread biscuits and an assortment of teas. The bed was super comfy and a lovely garden view from the window. I also loved the fresh flowers on the mantle piece. The property was in a great location and an easy walk from the station.

Forgot to mention ... their attention to detail was wonderful. They added lots of little extras (whisky and shortbread for example) which was lovely. Great atmosphere and the owners were lovely too.

United KingdomThe location was great - between 15 and 30 minutes walk into the town centre. But just out of the way, in a really lovely, quiet location The rooms were done very nicely and there were lots of thoughtful touches. Yvonne and Paul were such lovely hosts. Although we didn't interact with them lots, every time we did, we came away feeling well 'thought of'. There was a slight issue with the water heating, but Paul rectified this within about 10 minutes of us raising it to him. Things happen, but it's the responsiveness that's important. I would definitely return.

United StatesThe property is a little walk out of city center, which made it nice because Edinburgh was bustling with festival season and The Hedges was quiet, comfortable and within walking distance to most attractions. They provide some nice extra touches to make you feel completely at home and the rooms are on the first floor so required no lugging baggage upstairs!
