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 KingdomMy only grumble is that breakfast isn't served until 8pm so I had to go elsewhere for breakfast as I had an earlier start.
This hotel is in an excellent location, close to Calton Hill and the St James Quarter and an easy walk to Princes Street. My room was spacious and very comfortable on the upper floor, with a window (which opens for fresh air!) overlooking the back garden.

Price was great, especially not being far from Waverly station [10 minute walk]

United KingdomEverything was perfect.
So comfortable, and well located. Short walk from new St James centre and well connected elsewhere via trams. Bed was very comfortable, and even the pull out sofa bed was very good. Plenty of tea and coffee, tea cakes were a nice touch. The freestanding bath alone was worth the upgrade to the Georgian suite, very deep and very comfortable. Staff were fantastic and helpful. I left a piece of jewellery in the room and they found it and offered to send it back to me which is greatly appreciated. I would choose to stay here again in a heartbeat.

GermanyClose to the station, yet quiet. We had a great 2- nights' stay. The room was very cozy and clean, with many thoughtful details (various different kinds of tea provided, e.g.). The bathroom was also clean, with a regular handheld showerhead in addition to the ubiquitous rain showers, which we much appreciated. Staff were fantastic - an excellent laundry service provided despite our very limited turnaround time, and we were able to store our luggage and were welcomed to sit in the guest lounge after checkout until our Sleeper train. Thank you!

United KingdomWe were on the top floor Room 7 which has a low slopping roof but other than that all was good and I think the low ceiling was reflected in the price £90.

United KingdomIt felt like the hotel was a little tired looking. A lot of the paint was coming off and some of the woodwork was slightly damaged, which was a bit of a shame concidering the beatiful detailing of the woodwork, walls and ceilings. The carpet in the room wasn't very clean. The door lock seemed a little flimsy and the plug socket next to the tea tray wasn't working.
Staff were very helpful and accommodating. Breakfast was excellent. Amazing service. The historical details of the hotel. A beautiful example of the late Georgian architecture. Lovely interior design. Great location walking distance to the city centre and the train station.
