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 KingdomOur room was warm, comfortable and clean. We had a view over the city and could see the castle in the distance. The staff were helpful and efficient. We had a nice meal in the bar in the evening and a very good breakfast the following morning.

United KingdomRoom, although large and comfortable, was a little tired and had a view of bins. Ask for the 2nd floor if you want a better view.
Location ideal for a bus into city centre. Breakfast was good and staff very friendly.

United KingdomRoom was private enough if you kept the blind down. Considering how cheap the room was we expected a lot less for the price we paid.
Perfect location for peaceful break. Not too far from city centre but far enough away to enjoy both sides of Edinburgh . Breakfast highly recommended as well.

United KingdomI feel more staff could have been available on reception desk when times were busy and we waited for a long time because a customer in front was taking so long. Also didn’t like the bar nibbles of bread and olive oil because this felt like leftover toast from breakfast. I was excited to have some quality bread. Was also sad my chocolate strawberries I ordered weren’t available when I got to the hotel but I hadn’t been informed.
Convenient location close to bus stop and easy access to city centre. Breakfast was good with a selection of cereals, pastries, yoghurt and cooked breakfast. Liked the king size bed and spacious bedroom. Staff were helpful and friendly, making our trip run smoothly.

United KingdomThe bathroom ceiling had cracks, and the paint on the walls was flaking off, most likely due to moisture. Before advertising the room, these things should have been maintained as this is a hotel and not an airbnb.
I liked the architecture of the building and the victorian style, the interior design was nice as well with the Christmas decorations. The bus stop right outside the hotel made the transportation easier.
