Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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...).

MexicoWe could've done with a bit more storage space for our clothes. Other than that, no complaints.
It was a fantastic location with great views, very central: clean, fully equipped, attentive staff when we needed them and who left us to it when we didn't. The decor was lovely and the living space spacious.

United KingdomSo many stairs at the end of the day - but this is Edinburgh’s old town and full of character! Not a complaint but a warning to the less able.
Very central location for most places and activities. Excellent location for my purpose.

United KingdomI have rated staff low only because we didn’t see anyone during our stay. Edinburgh is an expensive city so hotels & appts are never cheap now.
The property was really nice, lots of really beautiful features. The apartment was lovely, facilities were perfect.

CanadaTo be honest nothing !! The room has a bit of a smell but I think that comes down to the old building and it’s something you get used to.
What an amazing location and room!! We arrived early and thankfully were able to get into our room a bit early as we had been travelling for over 24 hours. The bed was SOOO comfortable and the entire apartment was huge and surprisingly quiet considering we were located on a busy street. The staff were very accommodating and nice and if we needed anything like towels or toilet paper they were around to help. Also the shower gets very hot which is very nice after a long rainy day outside walking the royal mile. The location is everything and you’re right in the middle of old town with only a short walk to new town. I can’t wait to come back.

United StatesWas quite hot (in August): each room should have had a fan. Lots of noise from street (it was to be expected especially because of Fringe and busy location) and all the bedrooms faced the street. Not terribly easy to sleep on Sofa Bed due to very noisy water tank in closet. Was an ongoing humming sound too. Would have been nice to be able to get new towels even if there wasn’t full cleaning service with a stay less than 4 days. Rug should be removed or changed due to stains. Cost was really high due to Fringe, like most of the other local accommodations, but even so that's unfortunate.
We really enjoyed our visit. Very nice Apt building very centrally located, bedrooms were sized fine, and ceilings were high giving it an open feeling. We had a very well- appointed 2 bedroom apartment with sofa bed. Was great to have secure luggage storage room available when we arrived early. Checkin was a breeze with the code and communication with staff before visit was excellent. We were happy to pay for early checkin even though we didn't think that was really necessary. Responsive to minor repair request. Had the Sofa Bed made-up for our arrival and extra supplies for the 5th person. Very nice modern mini full kitchen with all the supplies needed plus a great little washing machine and drying rack. Perfect that dining/ living area had a door for Sofa Bed privacy. Elevator access to apt (#9) was really important to us (so check on location if you want to avoid stairs). Easily handled specially ordered items (they suggested) delivered to apt before checkin. Milton Brown products were a real plus but having conditioner would have made that perfect. Was ongoing North Bridge construction but other than aesthetics it wasn’t a problem for us. Guests should know that cars can stop across the street at the Hilton for pick up and drop-off because of roadwork.

United StatesThere was nothing to dislike absolutely nothing beautiful facilities. We had three rooms they were. I should say apartments they were fully functional could easily stay in these apartments with complete services. Staff was very helpful and just nothing but good things to say about this property.
There were numerous advantages for this property that we really really liked. There were we were very close to Waverley within steps plus an easy access for roller bags via the next-door arcade and going down Cockburn Street. There were numerous restaurants, pubs shops in old town that were right by the accommodation. There were two exceptional mentions the coffee shop across the street next to the Hilton and Howie‘s on Victoria Street one exception do not eat at the fish and chip shop at the top of Northbridge. It’s not an authentic fish and chip shop. I believe it’s Landry’s access to the Royal mile access to the tattoo access to the fringe. All were exceptional advantages of staying at this Location and will stay there again.

It could do with a refresh Chipped furniture and paintwork, one v flat cushion per sofa etc WiFi drops in and out a lot Minor grumbles and didn’t spoil the stay The knock on the door at bang on 11am to say we needed to go was a little unwelcome- we were stood by the door ready to leave but we’ve never had this before!

United KingdomThe price! .. because an Oasis concert was on as well as the fringe. the price was hiked by nearly treble your usual rate so with little choice we had to pay £1260 for 2 nights which was very disappointing. A lot of building work going on outside which started at 0730hrs.. so no lie in with the noise. The T.V freeview wasnt easily operated
The central location is ideal for exploring Edinburgh on foot with food and supplies on your doorstep.

United StatesThe pull out bed was awful! We had to have our daughter sleep on just couch the second night. We couldn't make her sleep on that bed again. The mattress was really thin and you could feel the metal bars just sitting on it. I would only stay here if you needed only the queen bed.
The location was great. There was a ton of space. It was so clean and had everything we needed. We cooked in one night and it was so easy. The bath was clean and spacious. Master bed was comfortable.
