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, Iceland, Australia, Greece, Brazil and North Carolina. For properties in these regions, 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 StatesA particular staff member wouldn't give you two words if one was sufficient to mislead you . He was gruff and unwelcoming and would not help us with our bags up and down the Escher-esque stairways. Other guests helped us. No lift, very cramped quarters. Place is overdue for a redo - which we were told is planned. Things are worn and shabby. We changed rooms on our return stay to ground floor but still had to go up and down stairs to get there. Fire exits plans were confusing. A difficult venue for a person with handicaps.
Food was good but breakfast not included, dining staff was gracious, helpful and welcoming. Pretty setting, beautiful public park down the stairs and across the road, quiet. They held our bigger luggage when we went on a coach tour of several days. Easy bus access to city center. Kudos to Robert of the dining staff for friendly hospitality and hard work. Good venue if you are driving.

MaltaVery welcoming reception staff and loved the resident cat which was super friendly! Very easy to get to Centre town from hotel by bus. The bus stop is right next to the hotel which was super convenient. The custard creams near the kettle in the room were nice with a cup of tea :) also very close by to the hotel is a nice big park you can go for a walk in.

Good location only a short bus ride to the centre. Nice hotel. We arrived on a sunny day and sat outside on the lovely terrace enjoying a coffee. Comfy bed and nice clean room. Cannot comment on food as we had breakfast and dinner elsewhere.

SpainI had not looked properly at the information and thought the hotel was closer to the conference center we were at daily, so walking there was not possible. Fortunately the bus system is very good, it would be nice if it ran a bit later though. There was not very many places to set things in the bathroom or in drawers
The view from our room, and the helpfulness of the staff.

If you are looking for a good accommodation away from the buzz of the city and have limited budget this is the place to go to although location is 30mins away from the central part of Edinburgh where most of the attractions are however location of the hotel is still very accessible, there are buses which passes by near the doorstep of the hotel, while there is also a 5 minutes walk options that you can take for a better multiple buses options. Indeed I would recommend this place looking for a comfortable place to stay. Unfortunately, there is no lift, thus, if you are a female solo traveler with heavy baggage can be a challenging. Also, receptionists are very accommodating and helpful and in fact upon request they have allowed to extend for an hour the check out time at a Free of Cost , depending on availability check out can be extended for an hour further at a cost.

United KingdomWater pressure in the shower and sink were poor until we found an "unknown" switch in the wardrobe! Turned out this switched on a water pump hidden behind boxing but we didn't discover this until leaving. Slight mix up with evening meal order but we saw the funny side and the food was good,
Upgrade to room and we loved the space and views. Quality of food was good and the portions a nice size; not full after the meal but not still hungry either. Lovely big bed which was very comfortable.
