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.).

New ZealandAs we were travelling around the UK by car, parking was not that easy. There are a few metred spaces in front of the building for unloading bags, but you have to find the closest parking building (30€) overnight.
The location was excellent and our room was comfortable and well furnished. It was relatively easy to find, as everything was contactless with staff you just followed the instructions. Highly recommended.

Superb location. Very smart apartment and very quiet considering location. Had everything we needed. We were on 5th floor and there was no lift. Not a problem for us, but worth noting. It does state it in the details.

United StatesThe apartment building didn’t have an elevator. It had everything needed for cooking, except salt and pepper. It would have been great to have salt and pepper to not have to purchase this for a short trip, since we only cooked a few meals.
Loved the location less than a walk away from the train station! It was also the perfect place near restaurants, bars, and quick walk to the royal mile. The apartment was also very comfortable and quiet. We loved that we were able to store our luggage before and after check-in. Great communication as well - Would definitely stay again!

MalaysiaSoundproofing. We could hear the conversation between the pedestrians across the street (just opposite the Edinburgh Dungeon). Literally each and every words that they said. But it's understandable because of the location.
The location is just strategic! Opposite Waverley station. The studio is just across the bridge and you can see Scott Monument from the bedroom window. Easy to find and getting into the building is just by using the code that was provided 2-3 days before arrival.

The location was AMAZING! It couldn’t have been more perfect! A minute walk from the train station, and close to shops and restaurants. Totally loved the place and would recommend it to everyone! The apartment has everything you need. The room was really clean. The staff were really helpful when I called to ask about things a few times. What a perfect stay :)

United StatesIf you have mobility issues, ask for a lower floor. I was fine though. Also a little hard to find, but generally straightforward too. Just pay attention.
Excellent view! Really a great place. A little small but good for a solo travel. Would stay here again.

United KingdomThe location is perfect. Right next to the train station but so quiet you wouldn't realise. I travelled with my 6yr old and having accommodation close to the station / central point was key especially with the use of the luggage locker before check in. I especially appreciated the call centre that picked up calls promptly and dealt with all my queries. A great stay. Thank you so much!
