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.).

Not expensive but i booked it last minute so not big expectations. The location is not bad, walking to castle is like half an hour but you can take the bus, it's like couple of minutes from bus station.

IndiaNo lifts.Our room was at second floor. So with heavy luggage it's a painful experience. Room no 6 has slanting roof on one side. One needs to be extra careful.
It's a quiet and cosy place. Away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Nice and clean.

NorwayWhen I stayed at Menzies it was all quite lovely, despite one of the bedside lamps not working. The bathroom for our room was private to our room but we had to accesss it through the hallway, this was not a problem though as we felt like it gave an authentic feel to the house and its history - but it is nice to be aware of :) The only way of airing the room was to open the window, but it was still difficult to cool down as there were no ventilation other than that one window. I wish there would be a fan or mini air conditioner in the room as it became quite hot both day and night.
I would definitely recommend staying at Menzies! Me and my family of 3 stayed early summer at the guesthouse and we all agreed that it was a comfortable stay. The location is easy to get to from the centre of Edinburgh via bus, and a short 1 minute walk from the bus stop. We were greeted with smiles and the check in was easy. The room was big and spacious for us each to sleep on a twin bed each, but 3 single beds made it difficult to store our suitcases. Staff was very friendly and helped us out when we forgot the room key, and even contacted us on where to pick it up! Complimentary coffee and tea was a nice touch and much needed after a long day of sightseeing! The interior was nice and clean at all times and there was no noise between the rooms. I absolutely loved the rose garden in front of the house, they were all in full bloom - very gorgeous!

United KingdomVery warm room even with window fully open.
Staff were friendly, flexible and helpful. We arrived early and it wasn't a problem, we left on time but asked to leave luggage all day; again not a problem. Really refreshing. Room was basic but fine and price was less than feared in the middle of Fringe-season. Walkable distance into town past loads of nice breakfast cafes.
