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.).

NetherlandsThis chain is known for being rather basic. There are no hooks or places to put your things during your stay except for the few hangers that are attached to the bed and wall. There is no closet. There is no luggage rack in the room. There is coffee and tea in the room, but it’s one of the few hotels that doesn’t have a little Scottish treat as well. There is no USB plug in the room. (They are common and most other hotels in Scotland, even in small villages.)
The location of the hotel makes it ideal for exploring the city. It is on the main shopping street and around the corner from the tram stop that goes directly to the airport. It’s also across the street from the train station. There are plenty of delicious restaurants in the area. We had the hotel breakfast one morning and found it plentiful, although my partner went elsewhere as he wanted a hot meal. The second morning, I joined him at the snack bar around the corner, which serves a delicious breakfast for half the price. The room is a good size and comfortable.

FinlandThere was some construction going on near the entrance, but it really didn't affect our stay in a meaningful way.
Location is perfect. Staff was helpful. Room was clean and stylish. I asked for a quiet room and was surprised that it was actually calm and quiet despite being in the city centre. We enjoyed our stay and will definitely use it again for our next trip.

AustraliaAlthough the room was very good in most ways, and reasonably sized, it felt somehow claustrophobic. I don’t think I would want to stay there for more than one night. That’s just me and other people may feel differently, but I have stayed in hotels with nicer rooms in Edinburgh and those hotels were also cheaper and had free breakfast.
Very convenient to transport. Very clean and well appointed, although there is no wardrobe as such (but there is a hanging space. The bathroom was excellent and had one of the best showers I’ve had in a Scottish hotel. The room itself was spotless but very bland and almost clinical.
