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 KingdomNo hot water in the morning. Staff unavailable on phone. Better communication. Stayed at the main hotel the the week before and the experience was so much better.
Room was good but was situated in a house across the road away from the hotel.

United States of AmericaRoom faced the main road Loud
Room was upgraded across the street so we felt very disconnected. This was a special occasion and had to wait til much later for our room When they upgraded our room they said oh you are across the street where your luggage is and breakfast is not covered in this reservation. So we sought other arrangements. The room faced the main road which was very loud and every day we arrived an staff had blinds open which was disconcerting on the main road.

GermanyThe hotel's facilities are less comprehensive than is to be expected at these prices. There is no reception desk so we wandered into the bar where we found a staff-member who called a colleague to check us in. Our rooms were well-decorated but low-ceilinged and very small; there was no mini-bar or fridge, and we had to cross a busy road to reach breakfast. The £20 surcharge for parking in an unsecured, open-air carpark in front of the hotel directly on a main road seemed excessive. Our dog could stay but was allowed neither to remain in the room alone nor to enter the restaurant.
A relatively high-end hotel with a nice cosy atmosphere centred on the bar/restaurant in the main building across the main road from our rooms. Breakfast is excellent and evening meals available in the same restaurant were very good.

Switzerlandthe room we stayed in was small (would have been OK), however the bathroom was beyond TINY. two people did not fit at the same time and even one person at a time was not "luxurious". Despite the great time we had at the Roseate, it was no where near a 5 star hotel.
Started with a very nice check in where we offered some tea and coffee. Super friendly staff, irrespective of whom you talked to, very nice and cozy atmosphere overall - truly what we were looking for in Edinburgh. Lovely attention to detail.

The hotel itself is beautiful. The room we received needs a deep clean, the carpet was dirty. The room is quite small, good to make a reference that this is not ideal for two people. fantastic location, walking distance to the train station and Edinburgh.

CanadaSuch a lovely hotel - beautiful rooms, helpful staff (who were happy to let us drop off our bags a few hours before check-in and later brought our bags into the room for us), very clean, and short walk to haymarket station.

United States of AmericaWe were there on one of the hottest days the city would get, unusually so. the room, which was otherwise very well appointed and comfortable, was warm, without air-conditioning. But the staff had provided a fan.
great location; close enough to the city center without being caught up in the tourist hustle. The staff, from the moment we walked in were all very friendly and accommodating. Delicious breakfast. We didn’t try the dinner, but maybe should have.
