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 KingdomNothing.
Gorgeous apartment with large rooms and high ceilings. Beautiful views out the back windows and very close to the tram for ease of moving around the city. Princes street only a short walk also. It was spotless when we arrived and reception obliged us by letting us know as soon the apartment was ready so we could check in early. This was extremely helpful as we were under some time pressure and that day.

United StatesThe third bedroom can be accessed from the main public hall/staircase, but for practical purposes it is best to access through one of the other bedrooms.
The property was clean and had easy access to the train station and tram. Check-in was easy and seamless. There was also a great view of the sunset from the living/kitchen area.

CanadaIt was hard to figure out how to keep the heat off. The thermostat was set to 21 and we would try to turn it down to 18, but it seemed to always revert back to 21.
Very spacious apartment. Had everything we needed. Well taken care of. Nice view of the Forth (which I wasn't expecting). Location was excellent (less than 10 minute walk from Waverley Station, Scott monument). Tram and bus stops are also close, but we were mostly able to walk everywhere.

United KingdomThe front 2 bedrooms were very noisy. There is no double glazing, so yu can hear conversations and noise from the street well in to the night. The tram line also passes by the front of the building, so there is noise all through the night and from 5am in the morning. Did not sleep well on the first night. However, with earplugs managed to sleep well the rest of the stay. If you are a light sleeper, you will need earplugs to sleep.
Huge apartment with great views to the sea. The apartment was very clean and had all the amenities you would expect e.g. iron, dishwasher etc. Really great location, with St James Place shopping centre just across the street for anything you could possible need.

United StatesThe only thing that would have been better was if we could have stayed a few more days
The location of the apartment was excellent! We were near many of the areas we wanted to see, and only a couple blocks from the bus and tram stops. Furnishings were great, and there was plenty of room for all to have some space to themselves if they wanted. The guest information about the neighborhood, places to see, restaurants, pubs, and shopping.

United StatesMight suggest to the hosts to have fans available in bedrooms for those used to sleeping with fan noise (to make experience even better!)
Very SPACIOUS, nice, and clean flat - large hall, rooms, living room, kitchen. 2 nice bathrooms was convenient. Everything we needed was there. Baggage drop provided, but we didn't need it because they had our flat ready for us to get in early. Very friendly hosts. Location is good in new town, and short walk to Scott monument and Waverly. Guildford Arms is nearby and one of our favorite pubs. Loved the large living room/dining/kitchen area for hanging out with our large group in the evenings and mornings. Would definitely stay here again!

The hotel apartment is very spacious, clean and complete with all the household items that you’ll need. It is in a very good location, a very short walk to the Edinburgh Waverly station and downtown area. The check in and check out process was very easy. The staff is easily accessible to contact for questions. We really enjoyed our stay with Destination Edinburgh.

CanadaIt would be nice if the property had a lift it is very difficult to lug heavy suitcases up all those stairs.
The space was very clean and well appointed. There were plenty of towels and consumable things like dishwasher detergent, coffee, tea. The location was excellent. The rooms are amazing and the attention to keeping the heritage part of the building was appreciated.

NetherlandsThe beds are a bit short. If you are slightly taller (like me, 185 cm), your feet may not stay in the bed. The pictures we saw on booking.com are from the total complex, but do not clearly indicate the individual apartments.
The apartment is located at a premium location, just outside the old town center (tourist hotspot). Everything we went to was well within walking distance so that works out great. The people from Destination Edinburgh are very responsive during and after the booking process and always friendly and helpful.

United KingdomYou are directly next to the train line and main road which can get noisy so bring ear plugs. There weren’t enough pillows put out so make a request, I am sure that if you need more than 1 per person, this can be accommodated though.
A well located apartment near to the hub of everything in the centre. 3 bathrooms/ en-suites and a lovely lounge and kitchen area with space to accommodate our party.

United KingdomWe got into trouble for putting the bins out (cardboard in the cardboard bin). Maybe some info for future guests would be helpful as we were just trying to keep the aprtment tidy (and not leave rubbish for anyone to clean up) but the gentleman was obviously quite harassed at us which added a bit of a sour note.
The apartment was beautiful, clean and located fabulously.
