Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 KingdomThe grouting in the shower could definitely do with a clean, however it was a good shower and the rest was clean.
Basic but very comfortable. Very spacious room! Host who greeted us was very friendly and made us feel welcome straight away. The location was ideal. Beautiful views across the Links

United KingdomI didn’t like the short, dark, curly hairs in the shower before I had even used it. I didn’t like the heating being off in the middle of the night. My room was cold and I was uncomfortable.
I liked the very hot shower and the price of the room.

GermanyThere was a bit of a foul smell coming from the drains, but as it was off season that was probably due to little use. Smell got better after a shower running some water.
Very good connection to town and airport. Incredibly comfortable bed that was made every day. The guy at a reception was absolutely lovely and helpful. The place is dated and not decorated to a high standard but the cleanliness was second to none. If would want high end finishes, you will have to pay more. For us it was perfect and we would definitely stay again.

AustraliaUnfortunately, we had to move rooms due to a persistent, terrible smell. Once we moved, we realised our original room was TINY in comparison (and not very comfortable). Our second room was much more pleasant with lots of room. Not the most comfortable bathrooms or beds for tall people.
Customer service was excellent! Very friendly greetings whenever we passed and they were a great help with any questions we had regarding our accommodation or holiday plans.

United KingdomHotel is what it is, nothing particular we didn't like. Just be aware it's a budget option and set realistic expectations.
We were in Edinburgh for a party on one of the more expensive weekends for accommodation so we were happy to get a room at our preferred budget as we wouldn't be using the space much but did want a private bathroom. The room was hovered, sheets clean, TV worked, bathroom was clean and usable with towels and shampoo/ shower gel available and a hairdryer. Had everything we needed. The location is really good, super space and nice places to eat nearby.

GermanyMaybe the mattress needs to be renewed and the bed needs some fixing.
The staff is very kind. The hotel is nice in a very quiet area. I had a view to the park with an amazing sunset view every evening and a very calm and quiet neighborhood. Bit far from the city center but there is a bus directly in front of the hotel or the tram 9 minutes from the hotel, also connecting you directly to the airport. I didn’t mind walking to the city center because it was a nice walk. Also you can go for a walk to the beach in the early morning! The room is good size for 1 person.

GuatemalaThe property itself nothing to complain, but keep in mind that if your train journey has a delay and you make the check in before 10pm, they will charge you 10 pound fee without exemptions.
The bedroom was good, confy bed, confy sheets. Location was good too, quiet neighborhood. There’s a park infront of the hotel. Tesco is like 1 or 2 blocks away, pretty convenient.

United KingdomPoor WiFi. No lift. No breakfast, although Wetherspoons at Foot of the Walk does good food. Bit far out for a late night, trams stop around 11pm, but there are night buses if you know the routes.
Good priced budget hotel with views across Leith Links Park to the city. Easy walk to either tram stop The Shore or Foot of the Walk. Bus route also, to Ocean terminal or the city. Clean and tidy, I stayed 5 nights and was comfortable. Good locals life.
