Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United KingdomThe bathroom/shower facilities takes some getting used to, but isn't a bad thing - it's the quirk of these older Scottish flats but still throws you for your first shower being in what felt like a closet - don't let this stop you from booking though!
The place was clean, tidy, and really quiet - the views into the park were lovely. Even though we were in the city, it felt as if we were in some small cottage in the countryside

United KingdomOnly minus was the very cold tiled floor. I didn’t have slippers with me and the floor felt freezing under bare feet. A rug/runner would help with that. For anyone with mobility issues the flat is not all in one level. It was not a problem to me but steps from the door down were a surprise I wasn’t expecting. But as said, not a problem to me at all.
Lovely little flat near the area where I needed to be due work being done in my own place. Everything was immaculate and flat was tastefully decorated. I loved little details like the Scottish seakelp soap in the shower and big fluffy towels. Kitchen was very well stocked. Bed was comfortable and I liked the way heating could be controlled individually in each room.

United KingdomJust some minor inconveniences in the flat e.g. there is a very large window in the kitchen but the blind was missing so it felt a bit exposed at night with the light on, especially as you have to walk through the kitchen to get from bedroom to bathroom. (There is a block of flats opposite with a direct view into the flat). There's no bathroom, just separate and very small toilet and shower. The wash basin is so small it's impossible to wash your face without getting water on the floor, and if you're a larger person you might struggle to use the shower.
Good location for using the Water of Leith walkway and for exploring Leith. Buses into town centre are very close and convenient. Good clear instructions for accessing flat, prompt helpful replies to messages before and during the stay

United KingdomThe only thing I can think of is the little staircase as soon as you enter the internal front door as I nearly tripped not expecting the steps when we arrived but still delighted with the apartment.
The apartment was in pristine condition. Situated in a lovely quiet street, the property was beautifully kitted out. It is not a very large apartment but perfectly comfortable for two. There was a generous supply of tea, coffee and milk in the flat when we arrived. It has excellent facilities and is in a reasonably central location. We found the property to be good value relative to other properties during the festival season and would definitely stay there again. I really can't think of much if anything to fault...5 stars.

United KingdomThe couch wasn’t the most comfortable as the cushions shifted easily. On arrival the toilet stunk of cigarette smoke, maybe from a neighbours flat maybe the cleaner, it shifted after a couple of hours and never returned. The toilet flush wasn’t very good sometimes needing 4 tries:( The flat was a 35-40 minute walk into town which may pose a problem to some, we were happy to walk and have a nose! Buses went into town from the bottom of the street but we never used them so don’t know the cost or timetable. As you open the flat door you have about 5 steps going down, never an issue for us but worth noting.
This was a very cosy flat. A lot of thought has gone into the kitchen area, very modern and clean. We cooked every night without issue. Bedroom was bright and bed comfortable:) The flat is a few minutes walk from the canal, enjoyed wonderful evening strolls. Very clear instructions where given for key box.

United KingdomThe layout of the flat is peculiar. Upon entering there is a steep flight of stairs leading down. The shower and toilet are separate, so there is a small shower cubicle in the middle of the corridor, impractical for getting ready and for if you wanted privacy. There was an ironing board but no iron to be found. The main issue with levels of cleanliness was that everywhere in the flat had an unpleasant smell, like stale cigarettes and mildew mixed together. Now all of our clothing smells. The location is around a 10 minute walk from any amenities but there was a bus stop around a 15 minute walk away to get into Edinburgh centre. While value for money was reasonable, if you're wanting to sight see around Edinburgh it's 45 minutes of travelling via public transport or a £12 Uber.
The owners had made good use of this small space to create a stylishly finished, trendy 'tiny home', with a well sized bedroom and a kitchen-diner. The bed was a decent size and very comfortable. The flat was in a quiet location so it was easy to sleep. There was a good stock of tea and coffee as well as toilet paper, kitchen roll and toiletries. The host made helpful suggestions of places to go in Leith but these were further away than stated.

SpainThe apartment was very cold, they only offered solution the last day of our stay, even thought we complained about the cold the very first minute we arrived in the apartment... Bedroom smells like smoke all night, and the walls are very thin, you could hear the neighbours talk loudly at 2 am... We were very disappointed, we paid 400 euros with the idea that we would feel like home, but instead we felt like we were staying in a motel/hostel....
Apartment is cute...
