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.).

AustraliaAttic style meant we kept bumping our heads! No remote for the television so couldn't change volume without getting up. No lift - normally wouldn't be an issue but we had just run a marathon and it was really difficult to get up and down the stairs (possibly if you had lots of luggage it could be hard as well). But normally wouldn't be a problem for us.
The room was nice - "attic style" and larger than expected. The kitchen was large, fully stocked. The bathroom very nice with a large bathtub and window above. Comfortable living area, and even a second smaller bathroom, warm heating. Location was good - very convenient in the new town.

Czech RepublicLocation a short distance from the old city center, many cafes, restaurants and bars nearby, a short distance from the bus and tram stop. Contactless check-in and check-out, simple instructions. Comfortable and well equipped room. The mattress could have been harder, otherwise absolutely excellent accommodation.

ItalyAs a suggestion it would be nice to have a small fridge to store items such as medicine that needs to be kept cool. And either a few more sockets or socket extensions to recharge would be great.
I liked the clear and easy communication from the admin of the place. The room was easy to access and videos and communication made everything simple. The room was spacious with a lovely wide and comfortable bed, lots of light from the two windows and enough space to store my belongings. The bathroom was modern with everything needed and there were additional towels available if needed as well. I liked that the rooms are not being made while I stayed there, however, it is an available service if required. Even if there are bars and restaurants below, there was never too much noise and it ended well before midnight. I heard it because I keep my windows open; with closed windows no noise is to be heard. Great location which is within 5 minutes walking distance from the Airlink bus stop and Princess street. Easy walking or public transport to all places in Edinburgh.

United KingdomOnly minor downside to our room: The "private bathroom" our room had was across on the other side of the big landing upstairs, between the doors of other guest's rooms. I totally understand this is unavoidable if the room itself can't accommodate an ensuite, but we found ourselves having to hide/wait in there after showers to avoid bumping into other guests walking around. It would have been great if the bathroom was even next door to the room to avoid having to quickly scurry across the landing area in a towel!
Amazing location right in the heart of Edinburgh and a great view out of our window. Really comfy bed. Nice, clean room with wardrobe space, coffee/tea in room, TV. Everything we needed!

United StatesThere is a bar downstairs and it's a bit noisy till late morning. But it didn't bother us so much since we were tired from walking and slept piecefully through the night. The shower head was too big and waisted a lot of water even though it had regulator of water flow. But that's just minor things which not big deal at all. Was even fun to see how little water we could spend while showering.
The fun of finding you room. Like escape room except it's reverse. Cleanness and that it had a heater for comfort and fan for cooling.

Good location. Just a few minutes walk to the old town and there’s a lot of shops and restaurants near this place. Bedroom was cozy and pretty. The staff is really nice. He helps me to carry my suitcase although it’s not his shift in the early morning. Thanks so much!!!

United KingdomOne of us arrived the Thursday and had poor quality sleep. One of the four sash windows (one obscured by wardrobe) with sound proof window shut in front of it. Our friend thought this noise was something outside but sash was rattling in wind. I shut window and all was fine so partially our friends fault for not noticing but recommend leaving sound proof window open if sash open. Also TV took ages to work. we got police interceptors on eventually and were frightened to change chanel.
Location was excellent with plenty around it. Keys etc as per video provided prior to visit. Comfortable spacious room with iron etc. Would stay again.
