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 StatesBeautiful! We were a group of 6 and had an apartment and a hotel room. Although not in the same building, very close and both places were exceptional. Beautiful decor and comfortable beds. The heated bathroom floors were luxury. Loved the coffee place on site. Excellent breakfast and friendly staff that remembered us each morning. Easy walk to many restaurants, pubs and shopping. View of the castle.

The location is ideal. We went for the Royal Military tattoo and fringe festival. Perfect location to get to everywhere. The room was gorgeous, so spacious. The staff could not do enough for you. From the second you step foot into the hotel to the minute you leave, they are there to help. Breakfast was fantastic and the food in the restaurant amazing. Would not hesitate to return!!!

United KingdomAn exceptional city centre stay in Edinburgh, my only regret is that we didn’t book to stay for longer. The apartment is decorated to a very high standard, all appliances are new and they even have GHD hair straighteners and a hairdryer. We were walked 4 doors down the street to our apartment from reception where the staff were a delight. Baggage storage also meant we could enjoy our last day entirely without lugging baggage around a busy Edinburgh city. A real home from home, full of comforts. Would recommend and will definitely be returning as my new top choice for accommodation in Edinburgh.

AustraliaThe floorboards in the room were squeaky making hard to be quiet when my partner was having a nap - but that's really the only fault and that's nothing when you have views like these.
The view of Edinburgh castle from the Aros room was incredible. It made it hard to leave the window seat but what a fantastic place to people watch and soak up the gorgeous Edinburgh architecture. Also directly across from the Johnny Walker building and handy walking to everywhere.

United KingdomHard to think of anything as it was a lovely room. One minor thing - when stepping out of the shower there was no hook or rail for the towels nearby so had to walk across the (huge) bathroom to get the towels. A hook just outside the shower would have been helpful.
Fantastic one room apartment upgrade. Spotlessly clean and spacious rooms, comfortably and stylishly fitted out with thoughtful touches. All staff were welcoming, friendly and helpful, from reception to housekeeping. Great location with nice restaurants and bars nearby. The Huxley, next door, served a fabulous breakfast and hotel guests received a discount. This will be our go to hotel in Edinburgh from now on.
