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.).

Germanyvery centrally located, just a short walk from Waverley train station. The staff is wonderfully friendly and responds quickly (I had some questions before arriving). The beds are comfy. Ideal option for a short stay as it is so central and quite affordable as well!

DenmarkThe room wasn’t perfectly clean. When someone took a shower, there would be a lot of vapour in the air and no possibility to open a window to get the vapour out
The location is good and a very comfortable bed. Central enough, you can hear noises from the outside, but it didn’t bother me much. Some comments in here have really bad comments regarding the noise, but for me it was on

PakistanI was a bit disappointed by the cleanliness and maintenance of the hotel as when I stayed in the same hotel a few years back it was very clean but this time it wasn't. The curtains in my room were very dirty, didn't even feel like touching them, similarly was the chair and the cover on the sitting board. Even the corridors etc seem to be in run down condition Moreover there should be a small fridge in the room
Staff was great. Beds were very clean. Availability of a variety of tea, coffee in the room was another positive thing. The location of the hotel is amazing as it is at walking distance to the train station , Princess street and all the main attractions. The restaurant was also very nice

IrelandRooms were small and outdated. No real lounge area. Bathroom felt a bit like a toilet on an airplane. Twin beds very small, felt like childrens beds, anyone reaching 6ft would struggle to get comfortable. It is a bit cheaper than most accommodation in Edinburgh however but still felt overpriced.
Very central, easy to find. Next door to a costa and sainburys
