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.).

Nice location. Bus service into Edinburgh stops outside. Easy walk to local restaurants. Comfortable beds. Reasonable value given proximity to Edinburgh, but room was very small.

GermanyNot much, i didnt see a lift- for disabled guests, and our water from the bar in the room did not work- not serious becuase we had a bathroom- with everything functioning properly.
After our first B+B this location was pure luxury. The room was large, had an ensuite bathroom ( not like our previous b+b), was very clean with 2 comfy single beds.Dinner was also great , good waiting, good food, also for a nice price- but when one is on holidays, one can afford to pay bit more for good food and service.Location was great , in the hills above the main town, a bit out of the way- with a car parking spot right outside the front door. Highly recommendable.

United KingdomUnfortunately the menus on line were not accurate. We intended to stay and eat in the hotel - but on arrival the menus were different and didn’t offer the vegan options advertised. Had to make last minute plans to eat out which was difficult being a Saturday night
Hotel was lovely, clean, spacey room. Shower was elite! Hotel staff were exceptional - especially El who helped get out luggage to the room.

United KingdomIt would be great to have a wider menu for breakfast, we missed scramble, hash brown. In our room the head of the bed requires renovation (attached photo)
We liked the interior, special thank for paintings on the walls in the corridor. Also the hotel has free parking with a lot of space.

United StatesThe property had great character, but was a little 'tired'. Some general maintenance (couldn't open windows, no window covering on bay windows) would have made it perfect.
The staff was super friendly and helpful. The restaurant had wonderful selections. The location on the fringes of Edinburgh was a great way to have some peace and quiet.

A bit out of Edinburgh but we stayed before an early morning flight - easy 15 min drive to the airport. Has a lovely outdoor deck - we ate inside and enjoyed our meal - also free parking on site!

United KingdomA slight gripe was our walk through to the function room as the shortest route to our room. No problem, except when there was a function taking place. We have slight health problems and were 'footsore and weary.' However, this in no way diminished the enjoyment of our stay. The breakfast buffet, whilst adequate, did not have grapefruit, However, it is appreciated that people on certain types of medication cannot have grapefruit so I can understand why this is not available. Braid Hills is a brilliant hotel, in a fantastic location. Some of the carpets in a couple of the connecting corridors may be a little tired but this is a busy hotel and that can be easily remedied when required. The public rooms - dining, reception area, toilets - are absolutely spotless and well-decorated. We loved our spacious room - again, beautifully decorated, and comfortable. The centre blind in the window was not working but we improvised with that. Ours was a short stay, for our granddaughter's graduation. We stayed at Braid Hills on the recommendation of our family and would, in turn, recommend the hotel to our friends.
The staff were exceptional. Wonderful, efficient, and friendly. A credit to the hotel. We would especially like to highlight our great receptionist, who was so helpful throughout our short stay. We had left a carry-on bag behind whilst going to board the taxi, and had started on our journey to the airport when we got a phone call from them and were able to turn back immediately, saving us a lot of bother. Please pass on our special thanks. Also to the member of staff who saw us, struggling, hot and bothered, to get our cases down the short set of stairs to the function room on our departure. The lady offered to help and sorted that for us. The cleaning staff whom we encountered were cordial and friendly.

AustraliaFittings in room and some furniture were quite tired and damaged, and generally gave the impression of poor quality, although bed was comfortable enough. Bathroom shower was a bit awkward to use for a larger person and slippery being in the bathtub.
Convenient to public transport into city and a decent sized room. Decent breakfast and generally a quiet location
