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 KingdomThe TV was difficult to use and kept disconnecting from the internet so it took lots of attempts to get Netflix to work. It would have been nice for more tissues and toilet paper to be provided.
Apartment was much bigger than expected! Everything, from coffee sachets to towels, was provided for us and it felt like a hotel stay. Very clean, comfortable and secure. Access to the apartment was incredibly easy with a code for the front gate and door provided before our arrival. Location was excellent - Edinburgh castle was visible from the end of the road and everything was within walking distance, including a Sainsbury’s Local. Also a 10 min walk from Haymarket train station and a 2 min walk to the nearest tram stop.

United KingdomI can't say i didn't like anything just a few flaws needed ironed out.
Given an access code for the front gate and the door to the apartment. So very easy and quick. The apartment was very good a few little niggles about that's all. First niggle was the fact that you were surrounded by offices which meant that everyone could see into our apartment as we could clearly see in to their offices in fact see what they were typing on their computers. Secondly the apartment had no dish drainer which you really need otherwise your work tops will get damaged. Thirdly just a tiny wee niggle but gotten sorted out with a quick phone call......we only were given 2 toilet rolls for 4 people for 2 night stay but as i say that was sorted out quickly. Other than that the apartments were clean and comfortable, just a hop skip and a jump to Princess Street and you were surrounded by pubs, bars and restaurants. Quiet and peaceful too.

United KingdomThere was nothing we didn't like. The apartment is just missing a handful of things that would be great: - somewhere to hang coats, either hooks or a coat stand - a non-slip mat in the shower, because the tray was a bit slippy - a towel rail by the shower - there's no obvious place to put your towel to easily grab it when you get out.
The apartment was perfect for a 3-night stay. It's in a great location, lovely and quiet but just a few minutes' walk from local cafes, restaurants and the start of Princes Street. We hadn't stayed in the West End before and we were surprised and pleased to see how much there is to do in that area. Haymarket station is also only a stroll away, which was handy for us as we took a day trip to Dundee and all the trains stopped there, so we didn't have to traipse down to Waverley. The apartment itself is spacious but cosy, comfortable and well-equipped. There's loads of storage and the bathroom is huge. There are big windows, so it's nice and bright when you have the blinds or curtains open. They do look across to other apartments or offices. But it is in a city centre, and unless you're standing right in front of the window, no one would be able to see what you're up to! The heating is very simple to operate - not always the case in holiday accommodation! I really like the no key entry - it's all key pads. No key to be carting around and worrying about losing! The communal areas were neat and tidy. We're definitely going to book the apartment again for a future visit.

Absolutely stunning apartment was completely blown away from the moment I walked through the door with the solid oak floor boards and wooden beams. Kitchen was well equipped, beautifully decorated apartment to a high standard. Perfect location, only a few minutes walk from the tram and 10 minutes to the centre of princes street and the old town.

United KingdomUnable to occasionally adjust the heating. Controller seemed to be locked. On a couple of nights the guests upstairs were noisy during the night; especially on the final night with lots of banging around until 4am as if they were packing to leave. Some guests need reminding that High heels on upper floors cause noise to carry.
Great layout and reuse of an historic building

From walking in the door the apartment was warm and cosy. There is everything you need and it was immaculately clean. A great location for walking to Princes Street and the added bonus of a pub on the corner that served delicious food. Will definitely be staying here again next time we visit Edinburgh
