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 room wasn't cleaned properly. The bed had no headrest and is in an odd position away from the wall so you can't sit up in bed to read or whatever you want to do before you crash. The showers are really tiny and awkward to access.
It's very good value for money . The breakfast is excellent. The location is lovely.

United KingdomRooms too warm, corridors even warmer, lots of lights left on in corridors, even during the day, all wasting energy. Not sure if you are allowed to use communal fridges in kitchen, if yes make it clear that you can.
Breakfast is excellent, the room was clean and had everything needed, I like the location because it close enough for centre of city, good transport, quiet and beautiful back drop of Arthur's seat.

United KingdomOnly minor point queue for special coffee machines in the morning quite longs as one or more often broke. Happy though with standard coffee or Tea. Only other issue before has been inability and therefore uncertainty to park on site. Appreciate limited and site does not wish to encourage but when so many staff spaces free it does not seem impossible to sublet these with staff agreement during the fringe season.
All in room and Breakfast and especially hot powerful shower all great.

United KingdomOnly thing for us was that we'd asked for ground floor as had disabled friend. It was ground floor but almost the furthest room from the entrance. And there were lifts anyway. For a disabled person a room nearer the entrance would have been helpful.
Visiting the Fringe. Very good value. Good location. Extensive good breakfast included,as was parking ( if you arrived early - limited placed. ) Staff friendly and efficient. Great buzz.
