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, Iceland, Australia, Greece, Brazil and North Carolina. For properties in these regions, 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 KingdomThe accommodation was beautiful, it had everything we needed. Communication with Sally was great and it was lovely to arrive to a few treats. Very good location too, around a 20 minute walk to the city centre. Would recommend.

United KingdomWe can't think of anything, we loved our stay
It was the little touches for us, the irn bru and the milk in the fridge, snacks and coffee, even a dram of whisky! Very comfortable bed, clean and neat surroundings. The garden was beautiful, lots of ambience and chill vibes, especially the outdoor bath which was needed after a long day spent walking around Edinburgh. Very private, felt like we were miles away despite being in the middle of a city. The shower was amazing and a very nice clean bathroom with all the amenities provided. Also the TV was great, virgin box set with all the channels and apps with access to netflix etc, with amazing internet speeds too. Overall the accommodation exceeded our expectations and we would definitely return again should we re visit Edinburgh. The host was lovely and provided a very in depth and detailed welcome pack, with all the information for everything we needed. If you're looking for somewhere intimate and romantic to stay in Edinburgh, the garden rooms is the place for you!

United StatesA shelf for one's shampoo in the shower? (Just kidding).
Amazing location (we love the Botanical Gardens) and unique garden layout. It fulfills a Japanese design idea of erasing the boundary between indoors and outdoors. The whole effect was relaxing and exhilarating at the same time. The garden was laid out beautifully with effective lighting.

United KingdomNothing not to like.
My Fiancé and I booked the Garden Rooms as a little getaway to celebrate our anniversary and my birthday. We absolutely loved our stay. The room and garden were perfect, so quiet and peaceful. The room was spotless. And the Garden looks beautiful with the lights on at night. Sally left everything we needed for the weekend, including a welcome package, beverages, and whiskey. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and will return again on our next trip to Edinburgh.

Great location, right next to the botanic gardens which are well worth a visit and a short but strenuous walk to the centre of the city. The room was clean, comfortable and had everything we needed for a great stay. The communication from the host was excellent, they made us feel very welcome. Lots of lovely extra touches, we enjoyed sampling the whisky and irn bru. Would not hesitate to stay again.

Such an amazing place to stay not to far from the town centre as bus available around the corner or if you want to walk around 20 mins, loved the garden the outdoor bath and the accommodation was fantastic inside, how they brought the old and the new together was amazing and the welcome pack they supplied explaining it all was lovely oh and we can't forget the decanter of some whisky 🥃 too even though I don't like it my friend had some and loved it. There was milk, juice, coffee and tea along with much more I would recommend this place to anyone and on saying that I mentioned it to my taxi driver tonight who took note of the name and said he was definitely going to look into it

United KingdomThere was nothing to dislike.
The location was excellent for both the city centre and the Stockbridge area, which also has really good restaurants and bars. It’s a quirky room with all the facilities needed to have a comfortable stay. It feels very private, even though it’s a stone’s throw away from everything going on in the area.

United KingdomNo complaints.
Excellent location for visiting the Royal Botanic Gardens - the appartment is a 5 minute walk away from the entrance (and actually backs onto the Gardens). Well appointed apartment - clean and well maintained. Excellent to have use of a garden. Walkable to a variety of good places to eat and drink - the hosts give plentiful recomendations. Walkable (30 to 40 mins by foot) into the city centre - although due to short stay and local entertainments, we did not visit the centre this time.

United KingdomExcellent stay. We arrived in Edinburgh by train on a cool summer evening. The garden was a 25 minute walk from Waverley station. Turning the latch on the patio door we were welcomed by a toasty heat, which felt great. The garden was absolutely perfect for the sunny weather, and we were able to enjoy some drinks outside with family. All the appliances and utilities were clean, modern and easy to use. The instructions Sally provided were clear and extremely helpful. We would love to stay again, and would like to thank Sally for hosting us. Sean & Laura

The Garden Rooms are really great - excellent location, great neighbourhood. Nice and quiet which was surprising as corner can be quite busy but apartment is well insulated. Good recommendations from host. Nice and easy to gain access. Sally was so helpful especially re parking-which was easy. The bed was very comfy, the linen really nice. Very clean and lovely design. Felt very modern and luxurious. We visit Edinburgh quite a bit so hope to get there again-if it’s not all booked up!
