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...).

United KingdomSome small things needed TLC like the broken shower screen - it came off whilst we were there and we needed to hook it back on. Also one plug socket hanging off the wall
Lovely hotel in a good location - staff were all really friendly and helpful during our stay. Very comfy bed and good facilities.

United KingdomThe only thing I would say that it would be helpful to have a grab rail for the bath as for a short person like myself the bath is quite high for getting into the shower.
The location was great. Easy access to Princes Street and Edinburgh Castle. Breakfast was excellent

United KingdomThe mattress was far too soft for our liking (of course just personal preference but did impact our sleep!). All the decor looked a little tired and dated and for part of our stay the lift wasn't working. I had one incident where housekeeping entered my room when they weren't scheduled to, interrupting what I was doing and they were really quite brisk and unfriendly to me which felt like an invasion of privacy, but when I told other hotel staff they were very kind and assured me it shouldn't have happened and that conversations would be had with the relevant people.
The staff were really friendly and attentive. I had an issue during my stay and the staff I informed were so kind and helpful. The bar downstairs is a place we've been regularly and love so the discount you get when staying in the hotel was very welcome. The hotel was lovely and quiet so felt very private and the location is just fantastic.

PolandThe bathroom got very steamy every time we’d shower and there was 0 ventilation, the whole room would get super humid and we tried to air it as best as we could but it was a headache. The room itself was very dark and facing a loud back door of restaurant street (lots of containers, deliveries, glass rambling).
Friendly staff, great location (we got everywhere by foot), restaurant and bar downstairs of the hotel, a ton of other shops and restaurants in the area, easy check out, luggage storage for free, guest slippers and complimentary tea+coffee

United KingdomCheck in time 3pm...and not one minute earlier. I've had better experiences all over Edinburgh. Lift out of order when room is on the top floor is not ideal
Perfect location for getting to/from the airport or train stations (Waverly or Haymarket) and exploring both Old and New Town. Clean little room with tea and coffee making facility, iron and ironing board. All rooms sre named after Scottish celebrities...from footballers to actors..which gives it a fun touch.

United KingdomAs I booked just the day before I arrived, the price is more expensive than before. Good suggestion is give to who will travel to Edinburgh is book it early! And seperate breakfast will be £15 for one person. It will be fantastic if the price can become more worthy.
The location is fantastic. It's only 5mins walk to priness street and 10mins to Waverly Bridge. The room is clean and neat. But a little small actually. The wifi is nice which I love.

United KingdomShower in the bathroom needed attention in terms of effectiveness and be mindful that extra tea/coffee and toast at breakfast requires payment.
Fantastic location. Very clean and comfortable room. Hotel has a nice unique feel and plenty of character, Ideally placed for Edinburgh's attractions and plenty of options nearby if you don't want to eat in. Dinner menu not extensive but good quality food and breakfasts also appetising. Hotel bar has entertainment on Thursday to Sunday adding to the attractions.
