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 KingdomThe shower was freezing cold or boiling hot. Nothing in between. The internet was there but rather weak
The owner/staff were really friendly. The decor was immaculate. Everything was spotlessly clean. There was plenty of info about Edinburgh : what to see and do. The bed was comfy. Adequate facilities in the bedroom. Very good continental breakfast. Walkable from the town centre Very close to Holyrood I ark which is definitely worth a visit!

United KingdomRoom was a touch on the cramped side, but that's owing to them having an ensuite but that's a very minor gripe but nothing to put me off going again. To stop the shower you had to get out of the shower and reach outside of the bathroom to turn the switch off. Again minor in the grand scheme of things!
Everything was good. Location is great, right next to a bus stop and easy to walk into the centre. Breakfast was good. The shower in the room was great. The proprietors were lovely. Plenty of useful tourist information in the lobby. I'd highly recommend staying!

AustraliaThe hot water button for the shower was stuck on so the switch outside had to be used to turn it on/off - staff now aware of this so will likely be fixed. Room is a little tight for space with funny shelves in the way around the bed. Towels were not absorbent.
Friendly staff, great location, nice stay.

AustraliaThe rooms are warm and it would be good if there was a fan in the room. There is a backyard but it would be good if there were some tables outside during the summer months. Disappointed as we paid for a triple room and when we arrived we were told that the room was for two people. One single and one double bed. We were charged an additional amount for another person.
Great location. Nice walk into the old town. Some nice parks close by and good restaurants. Also on the bus route. Basic breakfast in the morning. Cereal, yoghurt, toast, tea and coffee.

New ZealandThe room was a bit stuffy, and the window only opened a little for safety reasons. I wasn’t comfortable leaving it open overnight so with me and my partner in there in the spring heat it got quite stuffy. A fan would help, even just a little one that lives in the closet most of the year.
Awesome location, short jaunt into the city. The staff were lovely and there was a really cute neighbourhood cat. The bathroom was small but was well designed so you didn’t feel crushed in it.

United KingdomAlthough there are 2 parking spaces directly outside the building, it is a bit of a tight squeeze. OK if you have a small car or are accustomed to parking in a limited space.
It was well located, within walking distance of the city centre, and on one of the main routes into the city so, easy to find.

United KingdomBreakfast time was only 8am - 9am so a little limited, so felt it could have been a bit longer, maybe until 9.30am. Also, we were only served a small pot of coffee between two of us, so felt like a bit more coffee would have been nice. The teapot for one was huge.
Great location for fringe festival. Easy to walk into city centre and good transport links to town. Large room with comfortable beds. Bathroom very small but good shower and clean. Staff polite, helpful and friendly. We were allowed to leave our luggage there all day after checking out in the morning which was a big help as we wanted to walk around town on our last day.
