Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United KingdomCould have done with a full length mirror, the one on the wardrobe was in the corner with chest of drawers in front so not useable. Wouldn't normally be a problem but I was going to an event and trying to decide on an outfit.
Location is ideal and on a very good bus route. Everything was clean. I thought it may be noisy as on a busy road, but I was mistaken, once the window was closed you could hardly hear the traffic. Room may have been a bit small for two, but ideal for me as I could use the bed to put my suitcase on.

United States of Americawhen booking I didn't realize how far out of downtown Edinburgh the booking was. It was not easy to find a place to eat close to the house.
I was excited that they were able to offer breakfast. The rooms were lovely! the couple who run it were very helpful in giving us information about bus schedules and getting to the airport.

GermanyThe room was perfectly fine for the two of us. Traditional, very nicely choosen furniture, a very tasty breakfast in the morning with various options and extremly friendly and helpful hosts. Even though the B&B is not directly in the city centre the next bus stop is just a few meters away and the bus brings you into the city centre in about 10 minutes. The bus to the air port also leaves there and takes 16 minutes to get there. So perfect in the middle. We would definitely reccommend this place and stay there again the next time we are around.

PolandThe room is very cute, and despite being "far" from the city center you're actually very close, aa the bus stop is right outside the building and every bus stopping there goes to the city center, bringing you there in 10-15 minutes.

United KingdomExcellent transport link (buses) to city centre or to the airport - the bus stop is right outside, and buses are frequent. The room was clean and quiet (double-glazed window isolates street sounds well). Bathroom modern and well-equipped. The shower can be adjusted to any water temperature, even very hot, and maintain it without fluctuating (once it's reached, which may not be immediate, but will happen). Beds comfortable and warm, with extra blankets and pillows. Room temperature adjustable and comfortable. Chest of drawers was available in addition to a wardrobe, practical hangers in the bathroom (plenty of space to unpack clothes etc.). The owner was friendly and welcoming. Overall impression very positive.
