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 KingdomBeds were a little uncomfortable but that’s personal preference. Super soft mattresses and the beds moved around a bit. We had twin beds as went with my daughter.
Amazing location on the royal mile with easy access to most of the main attractions. Pool area was a great plus and kids able to use the pool albeit it was part of a spa so would not suit very young children. Staff were super friendly and helpful. We arrived super early and whilst the room was not ready we left bags and a number and working half an hour I had a call to say the room was ready.

United KingdomThe mattress was really soft for us, but that is a matter of choice not a problem for everyone.
The location was great, a short walk from the train station, and near all the shops. We arrived early but a room was found for us straight away.

SwitzerlandOverall it was a very good stay and I would consider comimlng back! I have just one feedback for improvement: The cleaning staff did not do a good job in cleaning our room at floor 5. One example, the desk where I put my laptop was not cleaned even once. The round trace of my coffee cup was there during the whole vacation. The last two days, I took away my laptop thinking that they did not want to touch my stuff, yet the desk was still not cleaned. Please put some energy in cleaning the room and in keeping its accessories functioning. Because in general your hotel is very nice and the staff is kind. Other than that, the rest was very good to excellent 👍
The location is very good, the lobby staff were kind and helpful. The pool staff was also kind and welcoming. Overall a very good stay.

United KingdomOn check out a staff member at reception ignored my partner and I who were clearly waiting with our bags. He instead prioritised checking in a group who had just walked in, even though we had been waiting while he served a customer in front of us for 5 minutes.

United KingdomI did ask for balloons/banners during my stay to be put up for my partners birthday which was agreed but they had forgotten to do so which was a little gutting. All perfect. However the ceiling in the pool room was extremely dusty so needs to be looked at other than that all AMAZING!!
The location was excellent right on royal mile. The property was quiet, staff nice and facilities great. Our room was spacious, good amenities and cleaning service. You’re able to choose your own pillows which I think was a nice added touch. Hot chocolate, Tea , Coffee all included. Tv allowed chromecast so we could watch our own Netflix. Heating worked well and pool was nice and quiet.

United KingdomWhen we got there our TV didn't work , maintenance couldn't get it working either although they moved us to another room we still had trouble with the TV everday. The maintenance man said that they had recently had all the TV moved to WiFi and they had been having trouble with them since then. Maybe just a teething problem or maybe not a great idea 🤔
The location is excellent right in the middle of the Royal Mile. Clean comfortable parking is good secure right under the hotel and half price £15 a day if you stay there. The pool is small but when we stayed in February it was quite so pretty much had it to ourselves ( would think in high season though it would be busy) staff were helpful and friendly, it was my birthday 🎂 when we stayed and they had put balloons cake and champagne in the room ( at a price though) would definitely stay there again!
