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.).

CanadaThe worn flights of stairs of the building were not very safe and were tricky for everyone to manage, especially with bags. And the winding staircase inside the flat was very loud and shifted when you walked on it.
The location was very convenient for exploring the city and the outdoor terrace space was nice to have with a great view of the castle and the street below. As we were there on a Saturday, we also were able to take advantage of being so close to the farmer's market, which I would recommend. Lloyd was also very responsive and check in and check out were easy and as described via a lockbox.

United StatesNothing, I really enjoyed my stay and would recommend to friends and family.
The host was super nice and communicative! The apartment couldn't have been in a better location, easy to get to Old Town and right by numerous restaurants, shops, and bars. The apartment itself was comfortable for three people. Definitely recommend for your stay in Edinburgh! Just noting that the unit is a three-floor walk-up if you have any mobility issues!

United KingdomThe only tiny downside was that because of its perfect proximity to everything, it was noisy, however this did not ruin our stay.
Beautifully decorated and very clean, extremely conveniently situated in the city centre. Fabulous view. Great communication from the owners.

United KingdomThe view from the terrace was wonderful looking over all the chimneys and roof tops and being able to see the castle. It was a bonus to arrive and the place was really lovely and warm and such a bonus to have a fire in the lounge- nice to have some goodies too in the kitchen. Very comfy lounge and beds really comfy too. Everything really ticked the boxes for us. I like the fact I could send a message to the host and we got an instant reply back with informative information, really recommend to stay her and will definitely be keeping this on my list of fab places to stay 👍🏼😁

Icelandi liked everything but the stairs are steep and difficult if you have health problems. Quite a bit of noise outside in the morning when the trash is being taken out. Recommend wearing earplugs.
the location was perfect for a weekend trip to Edinburgh. Lots of fun bars just in the Rose street. I recommend checking out panda ans sons if you want a fun cocktail place. We also went out to eat at Duck and Waffle and we highly recommend it. The apartment is charming and the balcony is great.

United KingdomAll was perfect
We were able to leave our bags in the property prior to checking in. We were also invited to check in earlier which was really convenient after our early flight. The property owner was extremely helpful answering all additional questions to help us to get around the city. Nothing was too much of the trouble. The flat is very well equipped in more than just essentials. Very clean and comfortable. The view of the castle complemented everything. The location is great for sightseeing and eating out. We loved the folder left for guests with all necessarily info about the city. We used recommended food places with no regrets We would go back there anytime !

United KingdomThe only initially confusing thing was which door was ours. We ended up attempting to get into the neighbours house as we thought that was the flat. Just a little door number would be a big help!
Everything was amazing. We were super lucky with the weather which made the rooftop all the more amazing! We were nervous about the noise of Rose Street but even that wasn’t at all a problem for us because of the sound proofing

United KingdomIt should be noted that as you would expect being a rooftop apartment you would encounter a fair number of stairs in the close but the stairs are spiral and quite tight and fairly worn .For anyone with any mobility issues it would be a challenge .
The property was very central . The rooftop terrace was lovely to sit on on a beautiful sunny morning and have a leisurely breakfast. Also in the evening sitting with a drink or coffee facing Edinburgh castle .
