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 KingdomIts an old building in the centre of town, so the noise level at the weekend, late at night is quite loud. The windows are glazed, so there is little else that can be done.
Very friendly staff on arrival. Apartment was clean and comfy. Great central location.

United KingdomNo staff on site that we saw at all. There are 2 clubs nearby which were very noisy, especially in the early hours of the morning, so not great if you've got an early morning! The building was extremely warm, we had to leave bedroom doors open to cool them down -for too hot.
The apartment was clean and very comfortable. We only stayed on night so didn't make use of the kitchen facilities but it had everything you would need, if we had. The rooms were great and beds very comfy. Check in and check out was easy. Very close to all local amenities and tourist areas!

United KingdomThe only thing I would advise is that it was on a busy social street with a few bars. Nothing the staff can do about it and a small price to pay if you want to be in such a great location, with beautiful accommodation and for such a great price. In fairness anywhere in the city centre Edinburgh will have the same problem. It didn't really bother me as I don't mind the hustle and bustle, I was out enjoying it too. But if you want slightly quieter maybe ask for one of the apartments on the back end of the building away from the busy street.
It was super comfortable. Really clean and had everything you needed for a self serviced stay. The price for the location was exceptionally reasonable. So cheap for being right in the centre of Edinburgh, even though I was going in March so not peak times but when I compared to other places in the area of the same standard the prices were still a lot cheaper. Gary, the concierge, on the phone was very helpful and very friendly. The communication before the stay was very good and there was absolutely no confusion about how to get in to the apartment and easy to get a hold of if any problems. No stress at all. Absolutely loved it and felt like I had my own little flat in Edinburgh. Felt like a baller on a very reasonable budget.

United KingdomAlthough generally well cleaned, there was bit of dust not cleaned in corners of bedroom which was bit off putting. Toilet roll holder was also quite a stretch to reach from toilet and would have been great to have a hook or two in bathroom.
Location was excellent and space in apartment was great. We had an apartment at the top and it seemed nice and quiet over night which was great. Staff we met were all very friendly and helpful!!

IndiaThe biggest drawback of the apartment, in my view, was the cranking up of bottles at night from the bar next to it as it was really noisy and disturbing at the same time while we were sleeping.
We like the apartment as it was spacious and well maintained. Amenities were well provided in the kitchen, Overall Good experience. 👍

I made an email regarding one of the bulbs 💡 of the exhauster not being active (dead lamp). The lamp of refrigerator is not active, also Both lamps were not active when i did check-in on Sunday I worried that they would charge me. On Monday, i met one staff member, and I told him whatever happened. He explained to me politely that was caused by me. He is a good person. Room clean All facilities of kitchen set are very good 👍 Both of the bathrooms are clean. No bad smells Heaters are very good due to outside temperature below 7 degrees Celsius So the all room in warm. Wifi is super fast and stable InsyaAllah, next year we will come again

United KingdomThe en suit was out of order. I understand that this happens but there was no mention of this before we arrived and no apology or compensation when we had paid for a 2 bed, 2 bath apartment. It was also very noisy. Whilst we understand that this happens being in a city centre location, the window was stuck open when we arrived and so we just had the screen in front. This meant that there was a lot of noise on the street until we’ll after 3am. I am glad it wasn’t my children I was with.
Great location. We could easily walk to both the Christmas market and shops and also to the Playhouse as we were seeing a show. The beds were comfortable and a good space for our group of 4.
