How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewReally lovely location, quiet semi rural with a beautiful view and still close to Dunedin city. Really enjoyed our stay.
Very minor issue, Small rubbish bin in the kitchen and no extra bags or external bin. We stayed 4 days and bought food so had a fair amount of rubbish which it would have been good to be able to dispose of in an external bin.
Hi Rachel, Thanks for your lovely review. We will address the bin size as understand one may have more rubbish over a longer stay. There should have been rubbish bags under the sink, so apologies that this wasn't the case. Thanks for staying with Edinburgh Short Stays and we hope to be of service again in the future.

Verified reviewNicely presented property with everything you needed except the kitchen was just a microwave . Given how far away restaurants and shops are from the property better cooking facilities would be nice , a barbecue outside would be a fantastic addition
Did not like the ‘ welcome ‘ letter . Found the tone quite unpleasant and unnecessarily aggressive. Don’t really need to be told that the police will be called in the event of disturbances etc . What sort of guests do you expect ? Also , if you are going to tell guests to put the dirty crockery and cutlery in the dishwasher and run it before they leave you should perhaps provide a dishwasher .. ?
Hi William, thanks for your review. The owner is making changes to try to offer extra cooking options, but is limited with no extractor fan. The details about the dishwasher are an oversight in the homes message which has been rectified. New, clear but friendly house rules have been drawn up and are now in place. Thanks for your input and feedback.

Verified reviewThe views were amazing and the vibe and decor were just perfect for a chill weekend
Just two possible improves: - the bed was ok but the pillows were too big and too firm so were a challenge to sleep on coz they were really high - you can’t satisfy everyone but maybe since you had 2 pillows for each person, one could be big and one could be smaller/softwr? - and the second was the hot water - I might have just got something wrong but the person I was staying with had a 15-20min shower and then when I got it the hot water was luke warm from go. I’m a fast shower person and it didn’t get warmer. No other water was being used at the time. We swapped the order the next day and I got lovely hot shower.

Verified reviewVery modern and clean
The tv is in the wrong place needs a rotating wall mount to be able to watch it more easier. And a small jug of milk would be nice
Thanks Cherie, we have passed along your recommendations to the owner who is very good at meeting people's suggestions with action. Glad you enjoyed your stay.

Verified reviewA beautiful high-end annex studio over looking Tomahawk Beech on the edge of the Otago Peninsula. We enjoyed stunning views of the beach and did a two day trip visiting the castle and the Opera Penguin reserve which are all only a short drive away. The property has recently been built to a high standard and is extremely comfortable. We spoke to the owner who was discreet but very friendly and helpful with guidance and where to go. Would highly recommend.
Nothing
So glad you had such a wonderful stay James. It is a special location for those seeking something alittle out of the ordinary.

Verified reviewLovely little place, with great sea views. Has all that you need for a quiet weekend away.
Comes across as a new property rental, so suggest owners consider a couple of tiny practical things that would make all the difference to a small studio space: - having a hook by the door for keys or wet jackets - changing out the bedsides to some with storage/draws
Thank you, Nadine, we will take these notes to the owner. Hope you got to see the Aurora!
