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 KingdomNeeds more furniture: like trash bin in the room (only bin was in the bathroom with no bag in it! Not hygienic), side tables for bed, small mirror next to table, we needed a fridge since the room was little hot and they had the heating system on and it was a little warm outside and inside, they provided a fan but didn’t switch the cool system it gets hot at night since our room was on first floor and the window opens to a skylight
The location is great and very clean. Staff were very friendly. Comfortable and size of room is great.

United KingdomThere was no phone in the room to contact the reception. We had to call on hotel number for every small thing. It got extremely hot in the night and thermostat did not work. No coffee in the room, only teabags were available Breakfast options are only cold breakfast. But there are many restaurants just down the hotel so this was ok and manageable for short stay
The location is really amazing. Tram and bus stop are just two minutes walk from the property. All the major attractions are easily accessible by foot.

United KingdomThe room was a little small and it could have been cheaper but I appreciate that is what you pay now for this size of room in this location.
I loved that when I phoned to ask if we could drop off bags prior to check in, the staff member said yes and that we may be able to get accesss to our room early (which we did). Also I loved the little magnifying mirror in the bathroom. The location was fabulous. The bar was very nice.

United KingdomRoom does not match those in advert. The room is similar to those of premier inn/travelodge. No where to sit and apply makeup or straighten hair etc. Can do it standing in bathroom but it's a nuisance when other person wants shower etc and obviously can't use straighteners in bathroom.
Wonderful staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. Location could not be any better. Room was spotlessly clean.

PortugalThe location is extremely central, especially if you're arriving by train. The hotel is just a short walk from Edinburgh Waverley station. It's also a quick and pleasant walk to the Royal Mile. The room was spacious and clean and the staff was very friendly. I will definitely stay again if I'm ever back in Edinburgh.

United KingdomTiny window with no view but we were only there to sleep so it didn’t really matter.
Very central and easy to get to. Room was very basic but very clean. Staff were really friendly and helpful. Hotel kept our bag for us after we checked out until we were ready to get the train later in the afternoon so we didn’t have to take it around the city with us. Would stay here again. We didn’t try the food here so can’t comment on that.
