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.).

Great location - very easy to access shops, restaurants and not far from city centre. beautiful view of the campus too. Clean, good WiFi, great breakfast range. Helpful and friendly staff too.

The room was a newer one than I stayed in last time - ensuite - wohoo! The breakfast was wonderful as I expected. The bed was super comfortable.

United KingdomThe breakfast was absolutely awful, the staff were so-so depending on which member of staff it was and whether or not they were having a good day (e.g. 6 reception staff; only 1 was working and the rest were just sat there chatting despite the massive queue); the on-site shop is staffed by idiots with no customer service skills whatsoever (I know they're students but they're getting paid so they could at least smile, offer a friendly word and not close 2 hours early). The beds were like prison beds but the only saving grace was the shower which was SO good after a long day. Bearing in mind that these are student halls, students would literally only be able to bring 1 bag of clothes due to desperate lack of storage space. Heaven forbid the students sharing didn't get on with each other!

FinlandWalls aren’t very thick so if you are light sleeper and you end up with some noisy neighbors, this might become a problem. Otherwise no complaints at all!
Good location, value for money, nice clean room with good sized bed and even though bathroom was shared and in the corridor, it was hardly ever busy and very close by. Food in the breakfast restaurant was excellent and such a big selection, was able to start my day with a good meal! Will definitely recommend this to my friends and also come again myself if ever visiting the city again!

CanadaThe constant harsh slamming of doors made it hard to get any sleep, they really need some soft-close mechanism. The rooms themselves were in need of some love, very basic and a bit sad. Location would be a but far away for some.
Included breakfast was good, lots of options. The room we had included a nice view too.

United StatesBreakfast was inedible. Bed was extremely uncomfortable. No towels provided. Not even hand towels for sink in room. I thought I had some bad dorm rooms when I was in college, but this was next level. You can hear every door shut, every conversation in surround rooms, and every time the toilet flushes down the hall.
Location was great. Easy access to the trails at Arthur's Seat. Close walk to busy stops.
