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.).

United KingdomI personally love my 2 nights stay
Excellent location, 2 min away from the Water of Leith Walkway, 15 min walk to Princess St. Bus to the airport just outside the guest house. A little gem. Comfy room, free WiFi and copious breakfast. Brilliant friendly, helpful & professional staff.

United KingdomThe en suite is essentially a box in the corner of the room, rather than being more detached, but the facilities were great otherwise.
Lovely room with two double beds that was just about big enough for our family of four. Very helpful friendly staff. Delicious breakfast for a small additional charge. It was great to have some parking at the property. It's close to the centre of town.

United KingdomDavid at Duthus Lodge Guest House was very friendly and helpful. The spacious rooms were well-equipped, tastefully decorated and spotlessly clean. We were able to park our car at the guest house, which was handy as parking can often be difficult on a city break.

GreeceThe water pressure in the shower was very low.
The personnel in the reception were very helpful and provided us with all the advice needed for our short stay in the city. The room was very comfortable, spacious and stylish. It was quite cold the first night though. When we informed the staff about that, the heat issue was fixed the next day. The breakfast was nothing special, but it had all the essentials needed and the staff was really willing to serve us and prepare it specifically for us. The location is ideal for taking the bus to the airport or the city centre, the bus stop is just outside the place. Overall it was a great experience and I would prefer it again.

AustraliaThe pillows were very flat unfortunately.
The room was lovely and David the host was very accommodating and helpful. It was great to have a little fridge in the room for drinks and snacks. There was a bus stop just next to the hotel that took us into Princes street and from there we could access everything we wanted to see. The same bus also went down to the zoo if you needed and the airport bus stopped there too.

TurkeyI can't praise it enough. It is such a place that I can stay there forever. We went 4 people and rented 2 rooms. We stayed only 3 days. David, who was the manager during our stay, never left us alone. His chat is very sweet, he is a very nice person, the breakfast he prepares is really great. The rooms are very clean, each room has a small fridge, kettle, wardrobe, drawers, iron and ironing board, bathroom, toilet, tea, coffee, decaffeinated coffee, extra heater (if the heating coils are off, we turn it on at night), so there is everything for your comfort. David told us what was happening in the neighbourhood. Where to eat, what to eat, which bar to go to, he showed all his helpfulness and hospitality. We will go again in 1-2 months. We plan to stay with him again. We were very satisfied 4. The location of the hotel, outside, inside and David's sincerity is very nice. You can choose with confidence. Don't forget to have breakfast :)
