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.).

MexicoNothing. Everything was perfect!
From the moment we arrived, we loved everything about this apartment. The location, the common area, the size and decoration of the bedrooms, how clean everything was.. The host was friendly and always in constant contact with us. Every bedroom has a private bathroom with great quality towels, bathrobes and slippers. The beds were comfortable and big enough for 2 people. It was just perfect for our family of 6. I can’t wait to go back to Edinburgh and book this apartment..

Great place in a quiet area but close to all amenities. Easy walks to wherever you needed to go, even Edinburgh castle was a 20 minute casual walk.

United KingdomEverything was just perfect- absolutely nothing to dislike about the property!!
Fantastic location to all amenities. The apartment was superb! The rooms were beautifully decorated and it is obvious a lot of thought and consideration has gone into making sure you have a comfortable, luxurious stay. Each room was high spec- the robes, the slippers, a safe in each room, a hairdryer in each room too! Really comfy beds too. And the smell of the ESPA products permeated through the apartment, it was like being in a spa! The kitchen was well equipped and the coffee machine was an added treat- especially with the travel cups. The bathrooms were beautiful especially the big shower!! It was great being able to check into the apartment early and meant we could start enjoying our break straight away. Would highly recommend and look forward to booking again in the future.

IrelandIf you have any accessibility issues this property wouldn't be for you. It is a basement apartment so the stairs down were quite steep. There is a 2nd entrance but again it has a set of stairs. Due to being slightly below road level it was a little bit noisy at times but to be honest it didn't really bother us and we were out enjoying ourselves most of the time.
The apartment was absolutely fantastic, so central with the tram only a 2 minutes walk away. The team were so attentive and went out of their way to ensure we had the best stay. The rooms are so luxurious and the beds are extra comfy. It was my sisters 40th birthday and they thoughtfully had a bottle of bubbly ready for our arrival as well as having the fridge stocked with cold water and juice.

SingaporeStairs 😄.. but this is common here. Do note that the apartment is below ground level, so you have to walk a few stairs down from the street. The apartment is still well-litted.
The apartment is so clean and well furnished. Initially we had some issue with the water heating system, but the team is so prompt to response and quick to help 👍🏼. We totally enjoyed our stay here and in this tranquil neighbourhood, which is just a short walk to the main street of West End with tram line and bus services easily accessible.

Bright, warm and felt comfortable on entry. As a group the bedrooms and bathrooms suited each of us individually. Plentiful fluffy towels, and the bath robes and slippers were a very nice touch, as were the ESPA toiletries.

United KingdomEverything was perfect. We found it handy to open the kitchen/diner door to let in more light from the patio area when using.
Exceptional property- perfect for our family of five’s first stay visiting Edinburgh and will definitely come again. Immaculate throughout, extremely comfortable and fabulous for each room to have its own high spec bathroom. So handy for all public transport and a short walk to airport metro. Beautiful part of the city and lovely being able to walk along Princes Street so easily and great bars/restaurants/shops handy. Thank you to all the staff who welcomed us so warmly and were there with advice when needed.

IndiaCheckout is at 10 am - which we found a bit too early. Its usually 12 noon at all other places.
The location is very nice, short taxi ride or a comfortable 15-20 mins walk to royal mile. The rooms are spacious, all amenities are luxury. We were a family of 5 and had a very comfortable 2 nights stay.

United KingdomBasement property limits the natural light coming into the property and no views but we were aware of this before booking and it’s not something you can change on this otherwise perfect property. Parking can be a challenge, but that is typical Edinburgh and no fault of the property, something you have to live with if you want a good location close to the centre of town.
Immaculate, modern and new. Lots of space and three bathrooms is great when staying with friends. Good location to Princess street and centre of town. Kirsty was a great help and offered us a generous late checkout on request.
