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.).

New ZealandOn the day of check in I had to contact the property twice for access details, they assured me emails and texts had been sent which was incorrect. For a property of this calibre I would have expected drinking water to be supplied, as every pub and previous accommodation we stayed in had done. For a 2 night stay, inadequate tea, coffee & sugar provisions.
Perfect location. Clean, modern & well presented.

United StatesIt was 3 flights up a winding staircase! I only really found it challenging when checking in and out and carrying my luggage! Otherwise, it was just "exercise".
There was no key. I was sent a code. Easy-peasy. The location of this flat was perfect--a gorgeous view of Edinburgh castle, very walkable to restaurants, shopping and attractions.

There are a few things that could be improved to make it even better. The WiFi is slow and cuts in and out at times, the speed was around 10mb/s which isn’t fast enough now. It could get a bit noisy at night as it’s right on the main road. However double glazed windows could have help and some of the shutters on the windows had big gaps in which lets in light and doesn’t block the noice as well as they could. Some minor points: The under cabinet lights in the kitchen were broken, one was hanging down. We would have liked another lamp in the living room as the main lights are very bright and the one lamp didn’t feel enough. Cleaners didn’t come as it said in the welcome guide, we had to go buy more toilet paper.
Perfect location, 5 min walk to the train station. Lots of bus and tram stops just outside. Great views of the castle and park. Nicely furnished and clean, kitchen has everything you need and good quality neff appliances.

BulgariaThe mattress on the bed was not comfortable for us - too hard and had back pain during the whole stay. The shower did not work properly on arrival, so we called the property and they sent a handy-man who dealt with the problem quickly. The windows are hard to open, but with practice, it gets easier ;) Would be nice to add a hanger in the corridor for the jackets. The kitchen needs more of the small daily stuff - there was no salt for example (it is a basic product), no pepper, there was a little sugar, etc. The capsules for the Nespresso coffee machine were not original - bring your own if you prefer.
The instructions were very clear - we received a code and had no issues with the access to the property. The Apartment is large and well equipped, everything was clean and the utilities were new and fresh. The heating system is great and keeps the apartment cosy and warm. We received a new set of towels after the first 3 days, which was a nice touch. The view is magnificent - we enjoyed drinking coffee/hot chocolate and admiring the castle. The location is excellent - there are few local supermarkets in walking distance, pharmacy on Princess street, just behind the corner, and many more.

United KingdomQuiet a few steps to climb to get to the apartment, so not ideal if disabled and no lift.
We liked how the apartment was utilised and very clean and spacious. Ideal location for the town, museums and restaurants etc. Amazing view of the castle from the apartment. Very relaxing location and value for money.

United KingdomOverall, our stay was great. However, I did find the mattress a little lumpy and uncomfortable. I think it could either use a good topper or maybe it's time to be replaced. Overall, though, this was minor, and I would still recommend staying here.
The apartment was great. We had everything we needed from an ironing board to kitchen utensils. It was very, very clean and the living area was really comfortable. I also liked that there were finishing touches like paintings, ornaments, and nice cushions it really made the place feel welcoming and homely. And of course, the location and view were just incredible !

United KingdomNothing much! The stairs are quite steep but we were well aware there was no lift and the apartment we stayed in was worth it.
Check in was simple and easy, all details emailed to me a few days before our arrival. The apartment was exceptional, in an amazing location with direct views of Edinburgh Castle. It was clean, spacious and felt homely. My friend and I wished we'd booked it for a longer stay! Will definitely come back again.
