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 use a weighted review system which means that 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.).

AustraliaSome of the ensuite bathrooms are very narrow and might be a problem for large people. The share bathrooms are a fine option if this is an issue.
This is the 5th time that my friends and I have stayed at the Edinburgh as we participated in the mid-winter Festival of Voices choir festival. The guesthouse has always been very clean and welcoming. The rooms are comfy and warm when you put the heaters on. The beds are comfy and come with electric blankets. The breakfast is serve-yourself with varieties of cereal, bread, spreads, fruit, tea, coffee and juices - all you need to start the day. John, the proprietor is always helpful and cheerful. We were able to store our luggage during the day of departure and chill out in the reception lounge area whilst waiting for our airport bus.

The location of Edinburgh Gallery B&B is excellent. Easy walk to most things in town. John is very friendly and makes guests feel at ease in his home. As a family of 4, with 2 small kids, the layout of room 3 worked well for us (main bedroom area, sunroom with two single beds and our own bathroom). Perfect! The bath filled up very quickly (great again for small kids) and there was always plenty of hot water. The range of breakfast foods and set up were great.

AustraliaLoved it. If you like quirky, with some old and creaky parts but full of history and friendly people...then this is the place for you. John the host is wonderful. If you cant cope with an aging building , squeaky and creaky then this is not the place to book. We would stay again next time we are in Hobart.

It was great there. Free parking is so helpful around the city of Hobart. We couldn't meet the owner but he left us a note of how to check-in so nothing to worry about. The decoration of accommodation is unique and antique. The shared bathroom was clean. Plenty of breakfast choices are accessible anytime during the stay. Thank you for a wonderful experience.
