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.).

United Kingdom2 flights of steep spiral stairs , a little awkward when hauling cases - but i suppose it added to the character of the old building ! Would have been fantastic to have a street parking permit for the flat . Parking isn’t free on Sundays as we discovered to our detriment
Location is excellent

United KingdomNo toilet paper left other than the single roll that was in the bathroom and on the day of the checkout someone (presumably the host) got into the apartment 20 minutes before checkout time to rush us out. Property is also on the 2nd floor on steep stairs, which wasn't a problem for us but might be for others
Had all the necessary for a short stay, nice view and close to the city centre

United KingdomThe apartment reeks of cigarette smoke (not ideal as a non-smoker with a small child) when contacting the property manager hoping for a resolution (clean whilst we are out type thing) was met with a "it always smells like that as the downstairs neighbours smoke" so not a one off, future visitors would have the same issue. The washing machine didn't work, we were told whilst traveling so couldn't adjust packing to counter. Received a call after 11 at night during the visit to say we couldn't use the shower any more, so on the day we had booked to go for a nice afternoon tea couldn't even wash my hair, and as mentioned with the opressive smell of smoke, I was paranoid about it clinging to me. The furnishings do not match the pictures and were rickety and uncomfortable (one sofa had a broken foot), the flooring is in disrepair and had to wear shoes throughout as the boards caught on socks and bare feet shredding both. I've been visiting Edinburgh for 10years staying in various apartments, I have never been so disappointed by the standards or lack of concern from the property managers. You could not pay me to stay here again
All the perks had little to do with the interior of the apartment itself. Centrally located, easy walking distance to the train station and city centre. Some nice restaurants near by
