Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United States of AmericaThey can improve on the cleanliness of bathroom mats . Better quality hangers in the closet would be better
The room was of good size for 4 people with comfortable beds . Room heating is good . Checkin experience was very smooth and good . Staff is good . It is locate at mere 20 min walk to Edinburg castle which made our visit really comfortable. We could just walk to our destinations every time and explore the city easily . There are lots of cute cafes and nice indian restaurants at a distance of just 5 min walk .

United States of AmericaThe host is off-site after 9pm, and they tell you that in their instructions. However, we met a man outside before 9 who wanted to check in, but the host was already gone and the man's phone couldn't call internationally to reach them. Luckily, we were able to call for him, and the host came over right away. But be aware, and check in plenty before 9, if that might be an issue for you.
Nice house overlooking a quiet street, subdivided into rooms with bathrooms. Clean and cozy. Our room was up a couple flights of stairs, but you could probably request a ground level room if needed. Less than a mile walk to Edinburgh Castle with lots of shops to look at along the way, but ubers were a quick option, if that walk seems too long.

TurkeyIt was a great experience to stay in this hotel. Everything was perfect. In particular, the hostel is especially comfortable. It is really close to the city center. You can walk everywhere. There are some nice shops around the hotel and also there is a bus stop near the hotel. The best thing about the hotel was that they allowed us to put our luggage in their room after check out. Thank you again for everything.

United KingdomVery limited parking spaces. I think they are also a bit smaller compared to other ones. There was a range rover parked, It looked like the space left wouldn't be enough for another car. The parking spaces on the road also fill in quickly. I finished work at 20:30 so when I arrived there was only 1space available.
It was close to where I was working.

Czech RepublicKind of noisy front doors. Luckily enough our room was in the back of the house, therefore we heard the noise just a remotely. But I can imagine it becomes kind of annoying, when your room is located right next to it.
Walkable location to the city centre (10 minutes to the castle), no need to pay for buses. Nice and calm neighbourhood. Nice shops and restaurants 5 minutes down the road. There was no problem to be checked-in an hour earlier. We had a little garden connected to our room and we got a room for three though we payed for a double room and it was nicely heated - we travelled in February so the weather is kind of cool. The staff is not very talkative and I mean it in a good way. They tell you what you need to know and then leave you to your self. No need to make small talks, so if you are an introverted person as me, you will love this approach.
