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.).

NetherlandsThere were a lot of these electrical perfumy air fresheners and if you're sensitive to parfum like me that's a no go. The walls are very thin so you can hear your neighbours.
The location is great! Close to the old town and in the new town. Close to Stockbridge which is a really nice area. Jack is really friendly. Very simple rooms that are fairly cheap for the area.

United KingdomWalls are pretty thin so could hear noise in next room and in the common room but the group of guests there at the same time as me were quiet and respected reasonable quiet hours. I slept with earplugs and it was no problem. Not a con but just something to be aware of as I misunderstood and didn't come prepared- there is a place to leave luggage after check out for the day but it's a bike rack with bike locks so you can loop it through the handle of your luggage and leave it locked to the wall. However, this is openly in a hallway and very visible to anyone coming in. While it felt safe enough to leave there and be assured that my suitcase would've stayed attached to the wall, I didn't bring a luggage lock to make sure my backpack couldn't be opened. So, if you plan to leave your luggage after check out, make sure you bring a lock for the zippers.
The host was very responsive and very upfront about to expect here. The rooms are simple- I would describe them as similar to a uni dorm room but that's exactly what I expected and it worked fine for me for a 2 night stay. The location is good, not a far walk from the train or bus stations (although at the bottom of a hill so keep in mind if walking with heavy luggage). Great cafes around the area. Felt safe. Room was clean. Toilets were cleaned often.

United KingdomBack again for another midweek stay while in Edinburgh on business. I always appreciate the location of New Town Rooms - only a short walk from so many things, and also close enough to where I work to be able to walk in. Had to do some work in my room on this visit and the wifi connectivity was great - good speed and nice and stable. I actually quite like not having a window in the room as it promotes good sleep hygiene and I always sleep very well when I stay here as it's also very quiet.

United KingdomThe room was extremely small and the ceiling was really low. Walls were a little dirty and could do with a little extra cleaning.
The room was kept cool and dark, and had the best night's sleep. The room was generally clean, with fresh bed sheets and towels. The location was ideal, and only a 15/20 min walk to the centre. There were quite a few people coming and going at the same time so it was social. Everything other than the shower was communal.

CanadaThey include instant coffee and fresh milk, but it would be nice if they had a pod coffee machine that guests could buy pods for.
This was a decent, low cost option in Edinburgh. The room is tiny and has no windows, but they are upfront about this. Shower in the room and shared bathroom in the hall. I get the sense that they genuinely try to offer a quality product given the price point (budget). There is a kitchen upstairs with fridge, microwave and kettle.

United KingdomI stay here regularly and standards are always consistently high. The rooms are cosy and comfortable and the kitchen/eating area is great for me as I travel to Edb a lot with work and having the option to not eat out is great. The location is great - an easy walk from the train station, plenty of good quality places to eat as well as grocery shops within easy walking distance. All in all, a place I'm more than happy to keep coming back to as it's also great value for money.

FranceRoom underground and small (as described), had to sleep diagonally on bed to fit :-) (but I am very tall!) Room smelled bit damp although masked by air freshener. Was exactly as described and what I was after (somewhere simple for one night) but felt bit on the expensive side at £100/night for what it was.
Good placement (easy walking distance to the centre), friendly response (by mail, SMS etc, nobody on site), rooms clean and match description. Place well cared for with nice "shared spaces" (kitchen etc). Convenient, and perfect for one night near the centre.

FranceIt was expensive for a room like this. Moreover, a bathroom in a bedroom is complicated, I knew that we did not have windows but It was very wet in the bedroom because of the shower
Not far from the city center, restrooms were clean and it was quiet. That's ok for one night

Extremely nice and cheap place to stay in Edinburgh. Staffs are really helpful with enquiry, and all the facilities is as described in the booking. Location was strategic, and only takes 10 minutes from the Scots Monument. Highly recommended for individual wishing to stay a day or two in the city.
