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 StatesNothing comes to mind. Except get your steps in before you go! Lots of hills and stairs.
This location is fantastic! Couldn't be happier with the area. Where Victoria Street meets Grass market. Everything...is all around you! The Castle is 5 minutes walk. The Royal mile is around the corner or through the 'close" then cut up the stairs and you're there. Check out the restaurant outside the front door! "Dunedin Kitchen" Tell Mehmet "hello from Phoenix" for us! The staff is like a small family and they are all wonderful!

United StatesThere were many keys on the key rings, all of which did not seem to fit the door locks. Entering and exiting was a bit tricky at times. Keyless entry would be a huge bonus.
Location was terrific! The apartment was very spacious and was well stocked for a short or long stay. We were promptly greeted by delightful Louie, who welcomed us and acquainted us with the apartment.

NetherlandsThe location is outstanding! It is right in the buzzing city center but in a quiet courtyard. The communication prior to the stay was excellent. Upon arrival date, we were very kindly greeted by the host. The kitchen is very well equipped and they provided oil, salt, vinegar and pepper, as well as dishwasher tabs and washing liquid. Very considerate,

AustraliaStaff from restaurant next door smoking in close and fish boxes - however recognise that this is part of the character of the location. Collection of keys from host was not easy - difficult with many instructions on contacting them 1 hour before arrival.
Location in Grassmarket was perfect for a few days in Edinburgh. Ground floor unit was good however the ability to open windows for fresh air was difficult for security reasons. Facilities great with everything you need. Large unit for family holiday and guests of 6.

CanadaThere was a washer but no dryer, so our clothing was hung throughout the apartment to dry, some of which took a day or two in the damp weather. Maybe a laundry rack would be useful there to hang wet clothing. The second bedroom was really small, but it was not a big deal, there just wasn’t really any room to put any luggage without having to step over it. These things would not be a reason to prevent me from staying there again or recommending it to others. It did not affect our stay in a truly negative way.
Location was excellent. Everything we wanted to do was within walking distance. It was really awesome being right in the middle of Edinburgh. Minutes walk from the royal mile, the castle, the train station and an endless list of places to eat or shop. The apartment was quite spacious, we had plenty of room for a family of four (mom, dad, two adult children ages 18 and 20). Everything was clean. There was lots of tea, sugar, and coffee. Having two bathrooms was awesome. We all really liked the place, it was a pretty cool spot. And it felt safe, as access to the close was behind a locked gate, and another gate at the entrance that wasn’t locked but would prevent passers-by from just wandering in.

United StatesWe suggest any yanks to be sure to get explicit instructions from the welcoming staff on the laundry machine and the heating. We had a devil of a time figuring it all out. No dryer. Note: The access is a courtyard shared with many other apartments & the rears of two restaurants (with heavy smoking staff). This would be a disaster during warm/hot days for you’d need the doors open for any ventilation.
A very roomy apartment with comfortable beds, a large & comfortable master bed w/bath, well appointed kitchen. great location! Is really great for families!
