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.).

QatarWe had a terrible stay at this apartment in Edinburgh. The flat is so small and basic in terms of facilities, and much more shabby than it looks in the pictures - very small with peeling wallpaper, tiny bathroom, up three flights of a dark spiral staircase which smells terrible. The bed and sofa bed are so uncomfortable and there is no noise insulation at all - the flat is above a busy road and three strip clubs, so we barely got any sleep over the two nights. Worst of all - when we arrived the immersion heater was broken and there was no hot water! We let the hosts know immediately and spent most of our weekend in Edinburgh on the phone to them (messaging was no good - each time they took an hour to reply), taking photos of the boiler, trying different fixes and waking up early to let the handyman in. They really messed us around and wasted our time when we should have been enjoying our holiday, and after all this the hot water was never fixed and we ended up having to have strip washes at the sink using water boiled in the kettle... the hosts have refused to refund any of our money for the two nights because they apparently did 'everything reasonable' to try and fix the issue and it is not their problem that there was no hot water for our entire stay. We only ended up staying there because our original booking was cancelled and it was the only apartment available in the entire city for that weekend - otherwise we'd have left immediately. As a side note - they also claim that the apartment has Netflix, which it definitely doesn't! We wasted another hour while they claimed they were "logging in", which they never managed to do. Overall really awful communication and extremely overpriced apartment. I would recommend finding literally anywhere else in Edinburgh to stay, based on this experience.
The whole apartment was reasonably clean and smelled alright, although the bathroom had some old stains on the bath and toilet and the kitchen could have done with a more thorough clean. The bedding and towels were basic and a bit threadbare but they were clean. The location is also very convenient for walking to the centre of town although as mentioned below not in the best area in terms of noise and safety.

United KingdomThis place is tiny, the bedroom is only just bigger than the double bed in it, the living area is also small. The paper is peeling off the living room wall and looks like it's going mouldy in the bedroom. It really needs some looking after. The windows are so old/thin it sounds like the windows open the whole time, this then was an issue at night as the noise was constant until about 2am outside (which I know isn't the owners fault but definitely worth mentioning) The bathroom is ridiculous, the bath is quarter size of a normal one and the shower head they have in there doesn't work unless being held and then can't be held too high as if the pipe kinks it stops working again. The toilet barely flushes too. I wouldnt recommend or stay here again, we only ended up here as our original booking elsewhere was cancelled last minute and this was all that was left.
The responses to messages were really quick, check in was easy, the bed was comfy, was clean enough I suppose, these are the only positives though.
