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.).

AustraliaOnly 1 bathroom and the 1 toliet was in the bathroom. Not very convenient for a family of five but we managed. This in no way hindered our stay.
Place was clean, spacious and very comfortable. Location was amazing looking down on the beach. Close to shops and not far from center of Edinburgh. Perfect location for a family holiday. Highly recommend 😃

United KingdomThere's nothing we didn't like, it was a brilliant apartment and perfect for our needs. If there were small improvements then a better system for enabling seeing the TV/projector in daylight that didn't mean making the whole room dark to view it on the wall (or perhaps we just didn't work that out). A handrail in the shower and one on the the wall by the loo would help future occupants with a similar disability to ours.
Fabulous location, brilliant views directly onto the promenade and beach, lovely airy, spacious and comfortable apartment, easily accessible with a wheelchair via the lift, easy to collect keys on arrival, wonderfully helpful and responsive host answering questions beforehand and clear instructions in the apartment too.

United KingdomNot an apartment-related observation, that the beach/prom lacks the continental-style water-stations to de-sand your wellies & dogs; we use a car-portable Karcher, invaluable bit of kit. The otherwise excellent Sky/audio/projection system might baffle anyone unfamiliar with it at first sight, but persist!
When the description says Beachfront Seaview, and it really is that, why on earth do would one want to stay elsewhere in Portobello or even Edinburgh City? Easy cheap bus rides or car drive into Edinburgh, from your own parking space. Spacious, modern, well-equipped, quiet large flat, over the excellent Beachview restaurant and next to ''Espy's" (The Esplanade) restaurant amongst others. Perfect location for prom and beach walks with our two beach-loving poodles. Just don't tell everyone...

Nice Appartement on the nice Beach of Portobelle. Spacious Living Room and two Sleeping Rooms. A nice Bathroom with shower and bathtub. The kitchen was well equipped. Many shopping possibilities nearby, such as Co-Op, Sainsbury´s and some Cafes and Bakeries. Public Traffic 5min away. One private parking spot directly on the Appartement. Was really nice there.

GermanyWell, there are a few things that worked out somehow, but maybe weren‘t as perfect. As a first it is - from my point of view - quite important to mention (again), that there is a café u underneath, which opens quite early in the day. Whether it may be barking dogs or chatting people (guests and staff) that just come in loud - or simply look at your belly while rolling up those Rollos - it is a vivid place to stay at. People also tend to take the chance of the parking area, dark, behind the house, to make their businesses (whatsoever). Re the Apartment itself: we weren‘t too keen about the projector (too big and unclear) and obviously the Sonos Sound system, which regularly is not too keen on Apple-devices (we weren‘t able to connect, very propably our fault). The bathroom could offer some more opportunities to hang towels or clothes and the shower‘s light need a tiny refresh, but that is tiny bits. All in all it is a well-equipped and maintained apartment and we loved our stay.
Obviously the Location is just hilarious - right at the beach and you can hear the waves coming in and going out, if you let the windows stay open. The Apartment is quite well equipped, you are able to choose your preferred temperature, the kitchen is well usable and also the bathroom lacks of almost nothing. The host obviously made his (2nd) home a home. Everything about Registration, entering the house etc. was perfect. The apartment was clean and well-maintained, WiFi did perfectly well.

United KingdomNot much we weren't happy with, a part from the parking Space being taken up.
I loved walking into the lounge and seeing the sea straight ahead. It was clean and spacious with 4 adults. Have already recommended to friends and work colleagues. We found some lovely places to eat Passey's, Tge Forresters Guild and The Beach House downstairs. Everyone is extremely friendly and helpful. We used the bus into Edinburgh, can purchase day return tickets and use your card. We were lucky with the weather but definitely would stay again.
