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...).

Everything was fantastic in our three bedroom apartment. All the amenities were superb. Location was amazing with close by Halal & Pakistani restaurants.

United KingdomThe floor boards were very squeaky throughout the apartment, but not sure there’s a lot you can do about that. The bathroom, although clean was a bit tired with the bath panel coming away and the Lino used around the sink area was coming away and looked a bit cheap compared to the rest of the apartment.
The location. The friendly and helpful staff, nothing was too much trouble. The well equipped kitchen with lovely touches of milk in the fridge, kitchen towel, washing up liquid, dishwasher and washing machine tablets and good quality tea and coffee. It also smelled lovely! The sitting room area was very comfortable. The bathroom was clean with good quality toiletries. The bedroom was clean, the bed was extremely comfortable and we liked the use of the robes and slippers.

United KingdomI couldn't work the heating but I should have asked! So this is my own fault.
The location was excellent. Ten minutes walking to princes street and grass market...if not closer without a pram. It was quiet (though we could here people coming and going from side entrance this was few) the space was great for us as we could put baby to bed and still sit up, unlike staying at a hotel. The staff were so friendly and welcoming on arrival. With tea, coffee and milk all already at apartment.

Fantastic apartment. Top notch kitchen equipment. Very clean and comfortable. I especially loved the hotel-like service in a full apartment setting. The 24 hour availability of the high end barista machine machine was an added bonus. Location is safe and secure with 24 hours staff. About 5 minute walk to the castle. 1 minute to Sainsbury groceries.
