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...).

United KingdomThe bed was very uncomfortable. We could hear the people in the apartment above moving around, which made the light fitting in the living room rattle.
The location of the apartment was excellent. The apartment is beautifully furnished.

United StatesStairs, no spices in kitchen, no directions for washer/dryer. Longer walk than I thought to the train station - up a steady hill on your way back.
Very clean, spacious apartment! We really appreciated the space, the large kitchen, the daylight and views...comfy beds, and 2 toilet!!! It was definitely nice to come back to after a full day touring and loved having operable windows for fresh air and water views! Only downside - going up to the 4th floor with a heavy bag (even without bags!) was hard, not recommended for older folks or people who can't do that many stairs so put that in your reservation request. The kitchen is SUPER limited, no spices etc so you need everything if you plan to cook. Has all the basics for pots/pans, utensils. I think it would be REALLY helpful - and needed - to provide instructions on how to use the washer/dryer. I got it wrong several times and used CHATGPT to help finally. Blackout shades provided, quiet apartment.

United StatesGreat location, walking distance to all major sites. Very spacious with 3 separate bedrooms to accommodate the 6 adults in our party. Also, 2 separate showers which really helped. Very nice family room with TV and sitting area to relax in the evening. Kitchen was awesome. And it had a nice outdoor sitting area.

United StatesLots of stairs up to the apartment (no lift). If you have mobility issues it might not be the place for you.
The apartment was VERY spacious and well equipped. Having a washing machine and drying rack in the unit was terrific. Location was also very convenient - just a short walk to the tram stops. A good base for exploring Edinburgh.

Plenty of space, self catering, washing machine, location perfect for Old and New Town, and other attractions. Just sufficiently far away from very crowded areas. Tesco Express close. Close to bars, pubs and restaurants. Good views although getting bags up to the fourth floor was a fitness test.
