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.).

LatviaI requested three different bed linens month before my stay, as we were not traveling as couples and did not want to share one bed sheet. Owner confirmed that it will be provided. When arriving each bed was equipped with one bed linen, again I reached out to the owner asking about this, to which I got a reply that I'll get a call back (which I didn't) and in late evening I was told via messege that they dont have a additional bed linen available and as a "sorry" I got a list of cafes and restaurants they recommend me to visit. So, it was a beautiful apartment but ended up in uncomfortable stay.
Location was very good, apartment was clean and spacious as promised. Kitchen was fully equipped, heater was available, in case the apartment got too cold a.d it did the work very quickly. Over the street there is a supermarket and next to it Starbucks. Slight minus, but I think it's a problem with most of the buildings in Edinburgh, the walls are super thin, so you hear your neighbors very well, in case you are a light sleeper this may be relevant for you.

MalaysiaIf there’s one thing for me to gripe about, it is the 2 flights of spiral staircase that we needed to climb to get to the flat. Quite challenging especially with big luggages. But we managed..
The flat is pretty charming and spacious and well furnished. We have everything that we needed during our stay. It is located right on Leith Walk, so there are many cafes and restaurants around, as well as Sainsbury’s and Tesco. Bus and tram stops are right in front of the property. Another added bonus is that communication with David was easy as he was very responsive to all my queries.

United KingdomThere is no mention regarding access to the apartment until we received the door code. We are all in our mid to late seventies, two of us have knee problems and you have to carry your cases up two flights of stairs. Squeaky floor boards, and some uneven boards. Having said this we did enjoy our stay very much.
Location is good. The Tram stop is a short walk in either direction, we purchased a three day rover ticket, very good value.

United KingdomFairly pricy. Owner contacted me a week before with an issue that may have resulted in my booking being cancelled. Would've preferred that to be sorted on, are as close to, booking time as possible to allow me time to find somewhere else if needed. There are two showers, but we couldn't get both hot at the same time.
Lovely and spacious, bedrooms are a good size and look great. Location is excellent. Owner was responsive with answers. Lots of transport on the door step.

United KingdomNothing serious, but be aware that there are 46 steps up to the flat and there is no long-stay parking immediately nearby. Electric showers are a bit feeble and the only toilet being in one of the bathrooms means some juggling.
Spacious, clean and tastefully upgraded property. Modern bathrooms and modern, well-equipped kitchen. Warm and cosy even in miserable Edinburgh weather. Not central, but we chose the location to be accessible to the City Centre one way and Leith the other. Frequent buses pass the door making access easy. Main tourist sites 10-20 minutes away. Tram is being built too. Max 30 - 45 minutes by foot gets you to most places. Three supermarkets and an amazing gym (£6 visitor day pass) within just a few yards. Wi-fi works well.

United KingdomDon't be put off by the shared entrance hall and stairs, not the most inviting, however, the apartment is worth it.
It's about a 15 minute walk from St Andrews Square, the apartment itself was warm when we arrived, which was needed 🥶 the rooms are spacious, beds clean and although hard, comfy, great for a couple of days away, David was a great host and made us feel welcome.

United KingdomMy wife really liked the property but I was not very fond of… My biggest concern was the fact that I was asked to send a copy I.D.s for each person, which is not clearly advertised. If you don’t send them the copies then they don’t send you the instructions and the entry codes which I found unreasonable… The Building is old, the floor needs redoing, Bathroom is very narrow Furniture is quite old and not the best quality Toilet seat was broken and not fixed.
The property is in a good location, great fun for families with young children as they can watch the Tram during the day. Bed was comfortable, Fairly clean and pretty much everything you need in a kitchen, you will find and they are in good condition. Value for money

United StatesThe bed could have been a bit more comfortable, felt kinda like a futon mattress, but that seems to be the trend in all of Scotland.
Our host was incredibly friendly. And thoughtful. Went above and beyond any expectations. The location was right by a bus stop, but not too close it was noisy. It’s location to Arthur’s Seat was why we picked it, but we’d totally go back.

AustraliaVery dirty entrance and stairs, mattress too thin and hard, need new floor boards as holes in the corner. The furniture very cheap and looks 2nd hand. We were two couples that very disappointed. With a 8.1 rating some names on review list show a first name and give this place a ten but don’t comment at all, a little bit suspicious to us. Not a 8.1 maybe a 5….We are Genius level 2 and used booking.com for years. The worst accommodation ever. Unhappy and £638 pounds for two nights is $1,300 Australian. So sad. Please do not stay here.

United KingdomThere were a few areas which need attention. The double socket in one of the bedrooms was coming away from the wall. Could be a fire risk. The floor boards felt very unsafe although this is maybe because it is an old building and there was a hole in the living room floor beside the couch. The toilet seat was not fixed properly. To get to the apartment there are two flights of very steep winding stairs. A bit difficult for mobility issues especially carrying a case.
The beds were very comfortable and the kitchen area was well equipped although I did not use any of the appliances because I was only there one night. The apartment was very clean and the towels looked brand new. In the bathroom and shower room there were very nice showering products.
