Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 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...).

CanadaPerhaps the distance to the sites. Wish it had been a little closer to the Royal Mile but all in all it was very good
We liked everything about this property. It had a well appointed kitchen, a lovely place to sit after a long day’s touring, good shower and comfortable beds

Great location. Just out of the city centre but easy access, quick on buses or by foot. Much better value for money than staying in the city centre. Great restaurants right by the property. Warm, comfortable.

United KingdomNot much other than steps to it was a bit hidden. It was also a target for someone who had to much to drink and got sick by the gate - not to pleasant to walk past.
Very clean and well presented. Had everything we needed and having coffee and tea was a great start to our visit. Shops to get some groceries are close by and we even enjoyed a take-away delivery! Walking distance to Royal Mile, but bus stop outside if walking is not possible.

United KingdomMake sure any children are careful of fingers with the fire doors.
There was a gas leak on arrival. Destination Edinburgh went above and beyond to solve the issue and most importantly look after us in the process. The apartment was very comfortable, cosy, and had everything we needed ❤️ It was an easy 20 minutes walk right into the centre of the city.

United KingdomIt really needs another bathroom. One loo for 6 people is not easy. There is space in one of the rooms for an en-suite.
Straightforward, spacious apartment, warm, clean and functional. Good bedding and towels. Kitchen well equipped. Good restaurant next door/below for drinks and breakfast. No noise heard.

AustraliaThe main bathroom's floor has a significant slant and therefore the toilet is not level to sit on. The shower is great. The ensuite shower didn't work very well. The bathroom exhaust fans are not very effective, a common problem we found throughout UK and Europe.
Good accommodation for family with young adults. Easy walk into old town and Arthur's Seat. Great to be able to cook meals. Very cheap and good value.

AustraliaThe only small thing is maybe a stand-alone shower.
We loved everything about this place! Excellent instructions to access the property; Spacious apartment, ideal for family of 4 ; even 5 would fit. Beds were super comfortable, loads of room in the bedrooms. Living area and kitchen just brilliant. 50-60m walk to an awesome little restaurant, with great beers on tap, and it converts to a live-music place at night. We wished we had more time to enjoy Edinburgh and this apartment - we will be back, and will stay here!! Easy to catch buses.

United KingdomThe only very minor gripe was that the temperatures dropped on our first night and it got a bit cold during the night, but it was easy enough to resolve using the thermostat (albeit it's in one of the bedrooms, so you risk waking up the people in that room if you want to change it for the benefit of the other bedroom).
This is a great base for Edinburgh and suited is really well for a family trip (two children under 5), even with a few stairs to navigate to the first floor flat at number 11. The apartment was quiet in spite of its excellent location, with buses from the city centre bringing you almost straight to the front door. Our weekend stay (Friday to Sunday) meant we were able to find free street parking a couple of blocks away.
