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 KingdomOne lift did not work. The waiting times for the other lift meant that it was easier to walk and not use the lifts (this wasn't easy with luggage). The price was high for what you got.

AustraliaThe lighting in the room was very dim for reading. The menu in the bar/restaurant was limited and even more so because I am gluten intolerant. At breakfast I was accommodated well and the servers looked after my needs.
Location was close to Princes Street and The Royal MIle. Ideal for all tourist related activities.

AustraliaThe pillows were quite flat and hard. Only one elevator was working, so it was very busy. My father uses a walker, so using the stairs was not really an option for him.

Irelandthere was building work right beside the hotel so the noise was awful, didn't get to sleep very well, it would have been nice if they hotel gave us a quieter room or even if we had of known we probably wouldnt have stayed her. ordered a toasted club sandwich one day and it was very cold, asked it to be heated up, it came back barely warm! not great service, so we only ate there that one time.
most staff super friendly and very good location, walking distance to everything. room super modern and very comfortable, however, i had asked for a nice view, building works was my view! however, they even left wine and dessert as i was celebrating my birthday, very nice touch!

ItalyThere was a construction site in the building right in front of my room so maybe it’d have been nice to be warned about it in advance by the hotel staff but to be honest it didn’t bother me much because I knew about it already by reading other reviews and also I didn’t sleep in the mornings of my staying. A little bit pricy if you’re staying alone and don’t have anyone to share the price but I’d recommend it and I’d like to stay here again!
Room and bathroom are both spacious and clean Coffee machine, biscuits and water in the room were absolutely wonderful to have! Staff was great, especially the blond lady at breakfast (sorry I don’t remember her name but she was very very kind)

United StatesWater pressure and also we made reservations months ahead of time to stay here on the front and then the back of our Scotland/Ireland trip with our good friends for my 60th birthday. We stayed April 11th and then again April 23. It cost I think $75 more the last night for the same room…? That was a mystery and I didn’t realize it until we were home.
The staff and especially bar staff were excellent. Location was great. Rooms were very nice- the shower had no pressure tho and I expected better in a hotel of this size.

JerseyOne of the lifts during our stay was not working so you can just imagine how long it took for people to get to their floor. I hope that got fixed already.
Got the room with the double bed and single bed. The location is right beside the Royal Mile, and a less than 5 minute walk from the Waverley station. The room had comfy bed and pillows, had a small fridge, had a blow dryer, also had soap and shampoo/conditioner from The White Company so I suggest just brining some conditioner for anyone who needs them. Hotel had helpful staff too. Overall happy with our stay.
