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 use a weighted review system which means that 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 KingdomService at breakfast was a little chaotic. Breakfast orders did not always arrive as requested. Staff were very pleasant but you can’t serve 3 of 4 people leaving one of the table without breakfast until others had finished.
Loved the building and bedroom - views were lovely of Dean Village.

ItalyAs noted, the room was quite compact. However, this was compensated many other ways
This is a truly beautiful old home, perfectly converted to use as B&B. The woodwork is stunning in the breakfast room. The library grand and comfortable. We appreciated the kindness of the staff.the breakfast was delicious and plentiful.we appreciated the location, in a less touristed part of city with magical views. Though the room was compact, the walk-in closet afforded plenty of space for clothing, luggage, shoes, etc. The spaces all seemed freshly renovated.

United KingdomThe room was spacious with great on-suite with excellent water pressure. The bed was super comfy with high quality linen sheets. . The views were stunning of Dean village! As an experienced traveler and someone who knows Edinburgh well, you could spend a lot of money on accommodation and not arrive at anything half as good as this well run establishment!
Did everything it says on “the tin” and more! Spacious and well located.

United StatesThere were only two outlets in the room, and they were under the desk. We had to crawl under there to plug/unplug the hair dryer, phone charger, etc. The room had amazing natural light through the windows during the day, but after dark, the only choices were a very weak overhead light and a tiny little bedside lamp that didn’t put out much light.
The location was fabulous! It was within walking distance of everything we wanted to see. The street was very quiet with a really pretty park across from the hotel. The bed was comfortable, and there were nice big bath towels. The lobby and dining room were gorgeous! The breakfast was very tasty, too!

New ZealandThe bedside light didn't work. Nor did the phone to reach reception. Some of the staff/managers were discussing work matters within ear shot, eg you could hear them criticising other staff, telling them off, with no awareness that guests could hear. This was unpleasant.
The room was lovely - had a gorgeous view, was super clean and the bed comfy. Plus a bath! Good breakfast, lots of options.

United Statesbed sheets were uncomfortable. Suggest better quality linens. The room was very hot. House keeping - remote control was filthy and we needed to clean it with some alcohol; shelves were dusty; soaps in the bathroom were not filled. No decaf coffee or tea in the room nor in the restaurant. I had nothing hot to drink. This would cost the hotel very little to provide decaf coffee and herbal teas.
The building is beautiful. The room fine. Location beautiful, as well as a great breakfast.
