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 use a weighted review system which means that 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.).

United KingdomThe staff at checkout were polite but gave wrong directions to the block for my room initially so I was wondering around for ages, and on checkout the queue were huge! Took ages to check out. Nice to have a 24hour reception but may need a few more staff at key times. It’s a tiny thing, but a hairdryer in rooms would be a helpful and seems reasonable for this price.
The breakfast was amazing, so much choice and served from 7am-10am. Very busy as it’s a BIG place, but a huge range including cooked breakfast, lots of fruit and hot drinks selections, cold selections, cereals etc from a self-service buffet. Room itself also well stocked with tea and coffee. Excellent location right next to Arthur’s Seat and 25minutes walk from the Pleasance Courtyard (Fringe venue). The room was clean and mine had a gorgeous view. It’s a standard price during the Fringe season and worth it instead of taking a chance on a smaller venue. As a woman travelling alone, you know what you are getting with a clean, open and lit University campus, 24 hour reception and plenty of people about. Would certainly recommend.

United KingdomRooms look tired, and need a good dose of anti-mould spray in the showers. Also found previous occupants hair in the shower! Unfortunately during the Fringe, even basic accommodation is extortionate and this was no exception.

Czech RepublicThere was a little kitchen on each floor, but it was closed, so you had to go to JMCC for additional 19 pounds for dinner or local bar to have some decent meal or hot drink at least.
The place was clean and comfortable, with nice personnell. We used shower room, bathroom and drier room, all OK. Breakfast at the JMCC was excellent.
