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 KingdomIt was a bit loud because of a group staying at the same level as me, but that's to be expected in a big university accommodation I guess.
Breakfast was excellent. The staff was really helpful with every request and the 24hr reception was a great added bonus. The location was perfect for visiting the city, but away from the crowds.

United StatesThere's really nothing that needs improving in this property - it's definitely not for romantic get-aways, but it's also not marketed as such. It's absolutely perfect for groups of friends or family traveling together. The one tiny downside may be the parking situation if you have a car? We had 2 cars, and it was first come, first served with the parking, but we were actually able to find parking all the days we were there.
I was a little skeptical when a family member suggested we book in university dorm rooms, lol - but it was such a cool place to stay!! The campus is gorgeous, the staff is so friendly and helpful (and available 24/7 which is perfect), the rooms are nothing fancy, but perfectly sufficient - 2 single beds (more comfortable than I expected), a little desk/shelves, window seating area, closet, and a private bathroom/shower (I think this was an upgrade? We chose a suite). We were traveling with our college-aged daughter and her friend, and my parents, and then my husband and me, so it was fun having the 3 rooms and kinda "playing university" again ;) The campus has a fun little bar/pub for happy hour, and a really amazing full hot breakfast buffet every morning - a really great value to be included with the room! Being in a setting like this, with hundreds of other travelers from all over the world was a really neat, very unique experience - and so close to all the fun things in Edinburgh!! Will definitely be back :)

MaltaA bit far from the city centre. Sometimes we used cabs, we didnt walk. And the fact that beds were separate.
I loved the comfortable bed, after a terrible night of flight delays etc i really needed a good rest and yes bed was soo comfy 😉. Loved the view from our window, all that lush green and the peace and quiet.

The breakfast was exceptional and would stay there again specifically for that. We also saw a fox which was nice and the mandarins at breakfast was a highlight.
