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 KingdomIf someone is using the shared shower/toilet facilities which can get busy on a morning /night time you're pretty stuck if you need the toilet. That's what happens when you book shared facilities though and the room price reflects this. So booker beware really
Visiting Edinburgh with family I wanted a more budget experience. The price was amazing value and just being a 10/15 minute walk from the grass market where the rest of the party stayed. Beds were comfy, shared bathroom toilet facilities. The decoration is a little tired if I was to be really picky, which I wasn't, just setting expectations. I had parking which they didn't. Mine included a modest but perfect continental breakfast, which theirs didn't. In the evening there is Scottish music in the lounge if you want to take part. They will be booking here next time.

United KingdomThe only thing we weren't a fan of was that the bathroom wasn't in the room but we knew that when we booked it. We would have liked a bit more choice at breakfast, we presumed a continental breakfast would include some sort of pastries but it was just cereal, toast, cheese and fruit. But plenty of coffee shops in walking distance if you are still hungry.
All staff were excellent from the moment we arrived to when we handed our keys back. The location of the guest house is in walking distance to everything. The shower was lovely and nice and hot and the room was a nice size. Off street secure parking was brilliant. We would definitely stay here again if we came back to Edinburgh.

United KingdomUnfortunately the room wasn’t as sound proof as we had hoped as could hear people coming in and out and chatting at the entrance through the night, the bed wasn’t the comfiest. It was reasonable enough for the one night, but was looking forward to a good breakfast, but was disappointed with no hot options other than toast. Door also couldn’t be locked from inside the room so put a chair at the door as being a women we felt a bit vulnerable.
Easy to find and nicely decorated. Old fashioned but we enjoyed that aspect of it. Seemed very traditional for a Scottish guest house. The staff were lovely a welcoming, loved the traditional Scottish clothing with staff in kilts, and liked that you could come and go as you please to the property.

United KingdomWe had to turn the radiator off completely as the room was uncomfortably warm and the window was an old sash type that was sealed shut.
Nice guest house with some evening entertainment provided in the price. Facilities were basic but you have all you need for a stopover. Staff were friendly and the breakfast was nice. Good off road parking provided. Nice restaurants within a few minutes walk and the city centre a short drive. We'd use it again.
