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 KingdomWet room shower. Water spilled out quite close to the remaining bathroom areas so needed to put towels down to be able to stand post shower without getting wet feet when using the bathroom.
Friendly staff and large, clean room. Good breakfast also with varied choice.

United StatesMy only issue was that the specific room I was given has a few uneven areas of flooring with some noticeable gaps. The floor creaked almost everywhere you went which is probably understandable since I assume it is an old building repurposed to be a hotel. On occasions there appears to be a slight odor of exhaust that seems to leak through the flooring and carpeting. Not sure if it's from sitting vehicles outside or machinery within the building seeping in. Once the heating system kicked in it seems to push the odor out and vent the room so I kept the climate control set to being on as much as possible. Otherwise it would have been of great concern. I was not in the room often and my stay was a short one night with a very early am departure. I didn't bring it to the attention of the staff or ask to switch because it was late when I noticed it. My daughter and I were exhausted from a long day of sight seeing and had to be up by 0330 to catch our flight back home. Otherwise it was a nice room with great service.
It's a nice property aside from the work scaffolding outside. Staff is very friendly and helpful and always with a smile. Excellent customer service. The location is perfect to go sight seeing the old and new town area. Everything is pretty much in walking distance. The room looks nice. Comfortable beds. Plenty of outlets for devices. Nice bathroom. I worked for Hilton a long time ago for many years so it was nice to see the wonderful quality of service and facilities hasn't changed.

CanadaHad a hard time finding the hotel from Waverley station, as it was our first time in Edinburgh we didn’t know there were two different street levels and had to return to the train station to ask for directions when we ended up in the lower street level.
Good sized, clean room. Shower had excellent water pressure, tub filled and emptied very quickly. Beds were very comfortable. Everyone we met was friendly and efficient.
