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.).

CanadaOur room was a bit narrow, but most of hotel rooms (in this price range) in European cities are the same size.
Good location not too far from the city center and in a quiet neighbourhood. The property provides parking for guests. It was very appreciated, considering parking restrictions in Edimbourg. Breakfasts are very good and the place is charming.

United Kingdomthe radio had had its ariel broken and wasn't working, not a crisis but should have been picked up. Towels were ok. I did enjoy reading my book at 3am (poor sleeper) by the streetlight - as a country mouse, that was a novelty! But the curtains blocked out the majority of the light when shut so no worries. Traffic takes getting used to but some people wouldn't notice it.
Breakfast was amazing...not the usual fried English (not my style) but a delicious egg and Loch Fyne salmon. Just enough without being overwhelming. The staff were kind and helpful. The room was clean - a must. I need to feel confident enough to shower and walk across the floor without going eeew. They surpassed that! I never saw a cleaner bathroom. They had even vacuumed under the bed 5*****. Glasses, cups AND kettle were clean as was the tv remote. Bed was comfy and warm. Loved the matching fabric on bed, curtains and seat. Well done! I stay at a lot of places and you are in my top 5. Buses are frequent and cheap. City a short hop away.

AustraliaSimon was an amazing host, incredibly helpful during our stay, and informative about the city and attractions. He was lovely to chat with. The room was clean and comfortable. Breakfast was amazing, a delicious selection. We always left each morning full and satisfied. The location was perfect for us: out of the hustle and bustle of the inner city, but if you are keen within walking distance, or you can take the bus. I would 100% recommend staying here!

United KingdomThe only issue I had and I'm being picky , is the glass shelf over the basin. It make it very difficult to wet shave without getting the floor wet.
Simon was very accommodating, nothing was too much trouble for him. Breakfasts were amazing. Always cooked to order. Perfect omelettes. The car park is big enough for 3 cars and locked securely which gives you peace of mind. Overall a very friendly guest house which we'll definitely visit again.

United KingdomWe were under the impression that a full Scottish breakfast would be available but it wasn't, just eggs, scrambled, omelette, boiled etc and continental options. Not a problem for me but my husband was a little disappointed. Our room was right at the top of the house and the stairs were rather narrow at the top. It was a struggle to get our cases up there. Also the room was very warm at night. But really the good far outweighed the downside!
Lovely and clean. Bed was very comfy. Plenty of storage, nice toiletries. Great views of Arthur's seat, nice area of the city and plenty of buses to the town centre, though not too far to walk. The breakfast was lovely, good selection, my favourite was the French toast. The host Simon was a lovely guy, very kind and helpful, happy to arrange trips/ taxis, nothing was too much trouble. Great value for money. We would definitely recommend this property.

Loved our room, the breakfast room, all of the friendly guests and especially Simon, who was so helpful and welcoming. It is in a perfect location - just a few minutes from the heart of Edinburgh by six or so busses but quiet with great locale restaurants if you want to escape the tourist areas.

RomaniaThe room and bed were a bit too small for us.
City center is very accessible from the location. You got lots of buses or you can walk for 40 mins if you would like to admire the surroundings. Simon cooked a very good omelette every morning which i really recommend. The entire breakfast environment is very classy with fine cutlery, cute small jars of jam, etc Simon was very nice helping us with touristic information regarding the city. The room was very clean and we had everything we needed in there

United KingdomThe laminated sheet of local pubs, restaurants etc was out of date as many had shut but we were okay as we looked online. It was a shame that there wasn't a fridge in the room to keep drinks cool.
Simon went the extra mile since it was our honeymoon and upgraded us to a bigger room and provided us with prosecco which was extremely kind! It was sweet to know it was a family run business, Simon's dad was very welcoming too. Breakfast was plentiful with a good system.
