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 KingdomMy only slight issue was how warm the room was. It was as if the radiators were on (they weren’t) so had that “stuffy” feeling of warmth. Can foresee this being a bigger issue as the summer kicks in. It wouldn’t stop me staying again but may have to ask for a fan!
The hotel was in a great location and easy to walk or jump on the tram to all the main attractions in the city. The hotel was exceptionally clean and the staff were all great; helpful, friendly and knowledgeable.

NetherlandsNot very well sound isolated. You can hear the cars on the street all night long. There is no elevator, so be prepared for the stairs. My room was really small, just a single bed.
Location is fine, it is possible to walk to many of the main attractions in Edinburgh. The street per se is not interesting, but is is close to nice places. There are 2 malls close by, in which you find restaurants and other facilities. the hotel is typical UK. There is a Tesco Express near by. Hotel was quiet, you do not hear too much going on there.

IrelandNo room safe????? Found this unusual, however, it was obvious the room was recently upgraded (huge bathroom). Hotel bar closes at 11pm and often it was left unattended.
Location was excellent. Just up the road from the tram stop and within easy walking distance to Edinburgh bus station (across the road) and to numerous bars restaurants. Very young friendly staff. Breakfast was a little expensive but the selection and menu made it worth it. Exceptionally clean standards throughout the hotel. Very quiet(I was a little worried that our room was to the front but I didn’t need to be concerned).
