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 KingdomThe duvet on the single bed was not warm enough for me (I feel the cold and it was February!) so more spare blankets would be good.
We stayed at St Margarets on a mini break to see family in Portobello. The cottage is much bigger than it looks from the outside, very comfortable and super cosy. The kitchen is well equipped, we loved the Denby and Le Creuset touches !! Location was great , about a 15min walk to the beach and the centre of portobello with its shops and cafes. Local Coop a 2 min walk away at the top of the road. We loved the super welcome pack on arrival, it was very much appreciated thank you.

United KingdomThe cottage was a perfect base from which to explore Edinburgh and Portobello, with good access to buses. The house itself was clean, comfortable, cosy and very well equipped. The owner got in touch and offered a high chair and bed guard which were a great help to us. Would happily book again.

United KingdomThere was no long mirror at all in the property, tea coffee and milk were supplied but no sugar. The TV in the lounge was way too small for the size of the room and the distance the sofas were from it, I had to get my long distance driving glasses in order to watch it. It would have been nice if there was a DVD player provided in order to watch something other than Freeview in the evenings. The recycling bags that we were asked to used were quite laborious and got in the way in the kitchen, it might be a good idea to get a recycling bin put in the kitchen instead of separate stand alone bags.
It was very clean inside, almost as if it hadn’t been used before. It was very cosy and warm, in a great location. The property was finished to a nice standard with the kitchen and bathroom fixtures, the owners went to some effort to decorate it for Christmas for us which was lovely.

United KingdomNothing it had everything you need. Heating controls easy to use too.
Only a few miles from the city centre. It was a great location, shop, bus round the corner, a 15 min walk to the beach at Portobello. Which is a lovely beach with some nice places to eat. There are lots of buses with the 44 running every 10 mins and a family all day tickets for the use on buses and trams at £9.50. Edinburgh castle was amazing and would recommended Auld Reeke tours, Darren on the vaults tour was brilliant!! Also Kauai for amazing fresh salad, smoothies & wraps. The cottage itself was beautiful, modern yet homely and spotlessly clean. The owners really care about keeping this cottage to a high standard. Some lovely touches on arrival. When emailing the owner, nothing too much trouble and quick response. The shower was immense!! I could stay in that all day! Every amenity has been thought of and there is even a fancy coffee machine, dishwasher, washing machine and very fluffy towels. The garden was lovely with lots of chairs to sit in in the evening with a glass of wine with pretty fairy lights coming on at dusk. Great base to for the city, we hardly used the car. Would highly recommend this as a place to stay.
