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 KingdomProperty’s a bit run down in some areas, like my bathroom. Room was a single-single, which was OK, but the bed was way too wonky for a good night’s sleep. Not bothered with the size of the room but for the price I paid, I would expect a comfortable bed at least.
Great location and a grand property. Very friendly staff

United KingdomOnly 1 radiator was working , which made the room chilly all night. I used the extra blanket but woke up cold and sore. I decided to make good use of a hot bath before I left. The bar was shut during my stay but the reception staff did allow me to purchase a cold drink. I would recommend that a staff member be available at the property during the night. There is no staff available on site at all after 10pm if I recall correctly. This leaves the owners open to serious issues of neglect of duty of care and prosecutions should something occur over night and resident/s hurt.
The hotel is in a wonderful, quiet, clean and friendly location. It was an easy walk from central Edinburgh. The room was changed to a lower floor with access to a large bath , to allow for increased comfort and accessibility whilst I managed a broken leg and back. The suit was clean and the bed was comfortable. The window let in a wonderful amount of light and the flag billowing on the balcony made my stay all-the-more cheerful !!! The staff were extremely friendly and helpful.

AustraliaBathroom really needs an update, it’s very tired & hot & cold taps in shower were in reverse. We were on the 5th floor & it was difficult getting heavy bags up without a lift.
Excellent location, charming traditional building, well-sized room & large bed. Several staff members were super friendly & helpful loading our car.

The staff were so friendly, especially Andrew who worked the morning shift. He was so helpful, suggesting different things to do and see in Edinburgh. Breakfast was a continental buffet breakfast but so filling and replenished regularly. The room was stunning, huge ceilings and antique, beautiful furniture. We loved our stay here.

BelgiumOn the first day, we noticed that the sink drainage in the bathroom was slow to absorb water, and we informed reception, but it was never fixed. We stayed for four nights without the room ever being cleaned or the garbage being taken out, even though we requested it from the staff.The bathroom towels are simply not bath towels; they are very small. There are no bathroom amenities, only a dispenser with soap.
The location is excellent for exploring the city. The area is peaceful with beautiful Georgian houses. Very close to public transportation lines, tram, train, and bus to Glasgow and the Airport. The main road, Princess Street, is a 10-minute walk from the hotel. The staff at the reception were kind and helpful.The room was comfortable with all the basic amenities.

United KingdomSeemed disorganised at times Breakfast was chaos, staff disappeared to make toast for residents but in doing so often let the tea, coffee, milk and juices run out. Why not let residents cook their own toast in the dining room so the staff member can work on keeping the breakfast topped up and clear the tables? Some areas of the property were very worn and needed upkeep, even simple stuff like replacing spent lightbulbs. Cleaning wasn't great, no towels left, hot drink supplies not replaced or refreshed each day. Grout in the bathroom needed bleaching due to mould and mildew.
Great location. Staff were very helpful and welcoming, they made our experience and distracted from the negatives. They are the best part of this establishment. Large, comfy beds. Rooms were large and a comfortable temperature. Hot shower, easy to operate.

The hotel is located in a safe location and is easy to find. The staff were all very friendly and helpful with offers of towels, weather updates and help with bags. There is no lift here as explained and the walk to the top is invigorating. Lovely views of the castle.

United KingdomTV didn't work, not a huge problem for me; wall heater was inefficient (again, not an issue for me as I was barely there). Notwithstanding, these issues would not prevent me from returning in future.
Super period property. The two staff I met - Andrew, and his colleague, whose name escapes me - could not have been more helpful. Good continental breakfast.
