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 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.).

United KingdomEverything was wonderful, I can't think what could have been better really.
There was everything to love about this apartment! What an exceptional position in the centre of Edinburgh, with a view directly of the castle from the spacious living room. Everything was immaculately presented and with great style. Couldn't recommend enough. When needing to get in touch with the hosts as well, they were incredibly responsive.

United StatesLots of stairs, no elevator
We were in a 2 bdrm on the top floor. It was great to be able to store our bags until check in, and even though there was no parking, we were able to pull into the loading zone out front and quickly unload bags before heading to the public lot they recommended. The location is really close to all the major sights. The view of the castle was excellent! The living room was spacious and comfortable and the bathroom was new and clean and lovely. High quality bedding. Lots of nice touches - we had an excellent stay!

United KingdomA lift would have been nice as the stairs were a bit much after walking in Edinburgh all day but we managed.lol Apart from that we could not fault the apartment and the mention of the lift was not really a negative.
Loved the grandure of the stairs case that met us on opening the front door. The quality of the carpet and the furniture on the landings. We liked the fact that we could use a light filtering blind but also a black out blind in the bathroom. We had the use of many kitchen appliances although didn't use them, dishwasher washing machine cooker etc. The TV was a decent size and quality and there was one in the bedroom that we didn't use. The whole apartment was spotless and in an amazing location, not far from station and not far from the castle as we were going to the Tattoo.

United StatesThe stairs as I was staying on the second floor.
Great place to stay. Apartment was very nice and clean. I see so many other comments for other similar places to stay that has concerns about getting information prior to checking in. This was not the case. They contacted me ahead of time and worked everything out to put me at ease to allow me to enjoy my vacation. In addition, they had an option of storing the luggage on the check out day to allow me to enjoy a half day of sightseeing with lugging around a big luggage.
