Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United KingdomWater pressure in the shower and sink were poor until we found an "unknown" switch in the wardrobe! Turned out this switched on a water pump hidden behind boxing but we didn't discover this until leaving. Slight mix up with evening meal order but we saw the funny side and the food was good,
Upgrade to room and we loved the space and views. Quality of food was good and the portions a nice size; not full after the meal but not still hungry either. Lovely big bed which was very comfortable.

AustraliaStayed 6 nights, bed was good. But by the end of my stay, I noticed the bed was a little soft (but that is personal preference)
The staff were friendly and helpful, the location was great, 30sec walk to the bus stop and the bus takes you right into the hustle and brussel about 25min bus ride.room is spacious and loved the king bed with tv inside.

United KingdomI stayed in this hotel about 50 years ago when my family first moved to Edinburgh. My nephews were staying overnight - I popped up to the room. A little tired but very comfortable and a very good price. Very handy for bus stop into Edinburgh plus carpark. Friendly bar and staff.

United KingdomFood options were very basic. Nothing to write home about. We wanted to stay in and have a cosy dinner, warm and dry from the horrendous weather but there was little on the menu that wasn't pub food, so we went to a lovely Italian place close by. Breakfast too was nothing special. Edinburgh has a great food culture but sadly this hotel doesn't live up to it.
Great location, lovely old hotel with lots of character, easy transport links. Good value for money and the room was very comfortable.
