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 KingdomSheridan guest house is such a beautiful property which Tom and Rowena keep super clean and very welcoming. They are really friendly hosts and can’t do enough for you. We stayed for the marathon and it was the perfect place to come back to and rest afterwards! Breakfast is lovely and they even went to the trouble of feeding vegans - would definitely recommend and will stay here on any future visits to Edinburgh.

Sheridan Guest House is a gem! Looking back at all other places we stayed at during our trip in Scotland, I can honestly say that this was the best place we stayed at. The owners are incredibly kind, welcoming and helpful. The house is filled with charm and warmth. The breakfast is truly spectacular. I cannot recommend it enough!!

AustraliaTight stair case to the third floor.
Tom and Rowena were such wonderful hosts and my husband and I would stay there again in a heart beat. The location was perfect and the renovated house was amazing. Loved the breakfast options And Rowena’s home made bread was to die for ! We stayed there for 4 nights, the bus into Edinburgh was about 10 to 15 minute journey and the stop was located across the road right outside the Guest House.

GermanyThings to be aware of: The location is a bit remote but easily reachable with Bus #11. The room itself is pretty small but it’s visible in the pictures & size is mentioned. As long as this works for you - Sheridan is outstanding!
It was perfect, feels like home. Rowena & Tom are amazing hosts. The house itself is lovely with many decorations & small details. Breakfast was outstanding. Next time in Edinburgh - definitely coming back to Sheridan.

CanadaI can’t think of anything that I didn’t like. The stairs were a bit narrow, but very safe with good hand rails. Tom was very happy to take our luggage up them for us. I am in my late. 60’s and my knees bother me a bit, so stairs aren’t my favourite. In the end, I had no problem navigating them.
There was an excellent selection of items for the continental breakfast and everything was very fresh. Rowena was extremely obliging to make a full hot (Scottish) breakfast and the food was excellent and substantial. There was no reason to go hungry during our morning walks. The rooms for lovely and the bed very comfortable. All the amenities of any large hotel chain, with so much charm. The guest house was beautifully decorated and the ambiance was wonderful. Tom was very helpful with his knowledge of the city and how to get around and what we should see. Both he and Rowena made our stay warm and welcoming. It was very easy to get to the guest house from the airport using the directions Tom gave us. and it was very easy and safe to get around the area on foot or by bus or tram.

If you come to Edinburgh go there. The bus 11 will bring you to the center and back. It is a quiet place with flowers in the garden and inside the house. A little walk at the riverside Leath and you find good restaurants near the coast. Britannia can be reached within half an hour walking. The owner is really dedicated at work and give you best information for your stay. After a two week journey around Scotland I assure you this was a most amazing place.

The location of this little gem is brilliant just 5 minute bus ride into the centre and the bus stop is right outside the guesthouse and cost just £5 each all day! We used this all the time.

Tom and Rowena were very friendly, caring and generous. We could checkin early and inside the guesthouse is decorated so well with beautiful art and artefacts. They serve hot scrumptious breakfast of your choice from the menu. We loved Rowena’s home baked sour bread . They use organic eggs and other high quality ingredients. Bus stop was just a minute’s walk.
