How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Would have preferred a super king sized bed, rather than the king that was there, and it was too soft for my preference.
Great food, and very friendly efficient staff. Stockbridge is a really interesting area, so there were locals and tourists in the hotel bar, with a very warm vibe. They brought 2 glasses of fizz to the room to celebrate our wedding anniversary, which was lovely.

United States5 reviews10“The best hotel we stayed at in Scotland”- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Standard Double Room
- • Stayed 2 nights
It would be nice to have more "basic" dining options on the menu. Everything was very "fancy". Sometimes you just want soup and a sandwich, you know? Or maybe just a plain salad without chicken, salmon, etc. To be fair, this seems to be the norm in Scotland, and is the same feedback I'm giving to most restaurants. Not everything needs to be haute cuisine, fit for a cooking show.
The shower was the best we've had in just about any hotel in the world. The veggie Scottish breakfast was superb. The staff were very welcoming and accommodating and professional. Really great. The beds were very comfortable, better than most in Scotland.

No significant quibbles with any aspect of the hotel, bar or restaurant.
From the moment we were upgraded to a sumptuous de luxe room to the morning of check out we could not be happier with the Raeburn. Set in one of our favourite urban villages, Stockbridge, we were able to enjoy the best of the many independent shops and cafes in the area and relax in the lively bar and restaurant area of the Raeburn in the evening The young staff were exceptional and the reception staff especially so. The decor in the room was wonderful and the bath and shower area superb. I can't recommend highly enough.

Have to say couldn't find fault with the hotel
The room was excellent, well appointed and had everything required. The location was great as we had a reservation at a restaurant across the road. The staff were great, couldn't be more helpful and this created a great buzz in the hotel

We had a perfect room - so comfortable, clean and well-decorated with a large and beautiful bathroom with free-standing bath. The room service meal was delicious and we will be back to eat in the restaurant based on that! Stockbridge is a fabulous place and only a short walk from the city centre. Highly recommended.

The room was uncomfortably hot at night, we couldn’t figure out how to turn down the heating so had to sleep with the window open. Not a huge problem but noticeable.
Our room was gorgeous and the bathroom was incredible!

Could do with more car parking spaces but I'm sure this can't be helped.
A fantastic place to unwind and the staff were extremely helpful. We had the front facing deluxe room which was really spacious with a spacious bathroom with a big shower and bath, there is also a bar and restaurant within the hotel, the bar had a very relaxing atmosphere with a decent variety of beers on tap. We walked from the hotel to the Royal Mile which only took 25 minutes so is in a good location, there are also great independent shops and restaurants in the vicinity of the hotel. Overall we were very pleased with our stay and will definitely be back
