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 StatesThe bathroom door was a little aggressive in how it shuts & couldn’t find something to hold it open when it would get a bit steamy after a shower.
The location could not have been better, we were able to walk to so much. The bed was most comfortable and made getting in it each night a dream! Everything else about the apartment was just the cherry on top.

United StatesThe process to retrieve the keys on check-in is bothersome. You have to retrieve the keys from a shop a couple blocks away from the flat itself. Depending on how you’re arriving it could be troublesome, especially if you’re on foot/ carrying luggage as you either have to go up & down stairs or go the long way around the block on the sidewalks.
The location is excellent, right under Edinburgh castle grounds and just a block away from the Royal Mile or the New Town areas. The flat was clean, roomy, well appointed, and comfortable. The area around the flat is very safe & well lit. Also, having a place to do laundry was wonderful.

United StatesWalking from the train station with our luggage and picking up the keys was more challenging than we expected. Edinburgh has some big hills!
Awesome choice! Great location in center of town with views of Edinburgh Castle. Within walking distance to great restaurants, shops, tour bus pickups, many top places to visit in the city. Luxurious king bed, fresh, new and well maintained.

United KingdomThe apartment is quiet in relation to other neighbours within the building but you do hear everything from the road outside. We stayed mid week so other than the odd drunken serenade and middle of the night bin collection it didn’t affect a nights sleep too much. I’m not sure if it may be noisier on a weekend though.
A wonderful spacious, clean, well equipped home from home in a great location. Just a short walk away from the old town it has amazing views of the castle. Entrance is via a secure lobby with a lift to the 2nd floor. It has absolutely everything you need to get started in your holiday.

United KingdomKey collection and drop off a few mins away with staircase - hard for some to manage especially with luggage If light sleeper may be disturbed by beeping from vans unloading and drunks passing by, although that is probably a problem all over the beautiful City!
Castle view Very little passing traffic Close to Old Town and 10m walk to main shops on Princes St 10mins to castle Large shower room Good quality crockery

United KingdomIt is important to pay attention to the instructions regarding key collection, which is via a local shop. The instructions provided are very clear so it wasn't a problem for us.
Lovely apartment in a great location. We particularly liked the colourful artwork which made the apartment feel quite special. The apartment is light and spacious with modern comfortable furniture. The kitchen is well equipped, the bathroom is very spacious. The inclusion of a washing machine AND tumble drier was much appreciated. We also really liked all the thoughtful touches like lots of coat hooks in the hallway and loads of hangers. Our (adult) son was very happy with the sofa bed in the lounge.

South AfricaThe parking garage was close by and easy to use - but very expensive (be warned). The wifi code and password should be in the information file or displayed somewhere!
We stayed in this beautiful apartment for two days. Check in went smoothly. This apartment is beautiful, spacious and has a superb location! The living area is spacious and modern and the kitchen perfectly equipped. There were some extra touches in the kitchen that made our stay very comfortable and memorable. The bedroom was equally spacious, lots of storage and we slept very well. We used the washing machine and the tumble dryer (which was a great help and benefit). The location is absolutely spot on. We highly recommend this apartment to anyone who want to stay in Edinburgh.

FranceI don’t have anything bad to say!
I absolutely loved everything about it! The layout, it felt very cosy and it had absolutely everything you could dream of for a trip. Amazing facilities like the washing machine and dryer (with washing tablets ready to use), a dishwasher, an oven, coffee machine etc. The view was amazing and it was very well situated. Would definitely stay there again! I would’ve loved to see some teabags as there was coffee but no tea but that’s being very fussy! Having the TV with Netflix etc with view of the castle just next to us was amazing. They really thought of everything, even all kinds of iPhone chargers. Really enjoyed it, and couldn’t have been happier with our stay, excellent value for money, really felt at home. Thank you!
