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 KingdomWhen the barriers were put up for building work to start & you had to walk all around the buildings to get to the restaurant but no building works were being carried out while we were there.
The breakfast at the property was fantastic & the organisation with the conveyor belt to take away emptys was great! Clean plates trays & cups always available.

United KingdomThere were no double rooms only twin.
The staff were very friendly and helpful on arrival. They gave us advice about getting into town etc. It was a bit of a walk to the centre, but there were buses available. The room was basic, but I expected that from university accommodation. The breakfast was excellent - there was plenty of choice, it was hot and tasty and set us up for our day. I would recommend the University to anyone looking to stay in Edinburgh as a good value option, especially during the Festival.

AustraliaThis was University student accommodation, and whilst about 2* it was far better than equivalent hotels. There was nothing we did not like. A bonus would have been access to the student kitchen which has cooking facilities and a refrigerator.
Staff very supportive and reception was open 24hr. Breakfast was exceptional, buffet style. Close to city and just 5 minute walk to bus stop.

United KingdomThink it through before you book (I didn't!). I accepted that I'd be sharing a bathroom (not all are shared bathrooms) but I didn't think through there not being a cup/glass, kettle and those little bits and bobs you need in a hotel room. Learn from me and take stuff. There's a shop on site but I didn't know until I'd already been out to buy stuff.

United KingdomThe drain on the shower was incredibly slow, causing it to fill with water and overflow on one occasion. The postcode provided on the booking confirmation did not lead to reception and the TV kept switching back to Dave.
The room was very comfortable, spacious and suitable for my stay. The breakfast was an amazing spread of cooked and continental options and reception was very helpful with any and all concerns I had.

Good budget option to stay for the night during the summer as Edinburgh can be quite expensive! A quirky place as you feel just like a student! Staff very friendly and gave a breakfast package for those leaving before breakfast! Good enough location to reach the main sights by foot walking 15 min.
