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 accommodation was dirty The bathroom had mould around the shower screen There was a wooden board that was damp and dirty The bedding was inadequate There were only 2 tea bags in the room and when I asked for more the staff said they didn't have any. They would get some but I asked every day for 3 days and was told they still didn't have any. In the end I asked why someone had not gone out to buy some at the sops. They had no answer for that.
The grounds are lovely and Arthurs restaurant is brilliant. Staff did their best The breakfasts were hearty and plenty of it. Although queuing was a bit irritating and it was very noisy because of the amount of people in the room

United KingdomMy room was not very comfortable for the money, the TV was small and old with poor reception. The room was tired, and needs updating. Expensive bar. Lack of staff, and using a robot instead was a little gimmicky. A bit chaotic at breakfast.

United Stateseverything was great for me, the location is a bit out of the city center, but I love walking and also used the bus
I was so happy with my stay here. The room and breakfast and Uni in general were all fantastic. I was so comfortable and felt very safe. I had a great view of Arthur's Seat from my room. The whole experience exceeded my expectations for sure. It was fun to feel like I was back in my college days!

United KingdomThe door is not sound proof, sometime when the neighbors close the door too vigorously, we can hear it.
The campus and students dorm are beautiful, the breakfast is good. Good value of money for staying during the fringe month. Many fringe and tattoo performers are also staying in the dorms, I am lucky to meet and be able to speak with some of them.

CanadaThere wasn't anything that wasn't great.
The breakfast was wonderful. It had a great selection, something for everyone and being included with the room booking was a Big Bonus. It was the best breakfast that we were offered through out our 2 weeks of travel. The rooms were clean and quiet. The housekeeping staff we met in the halls every morning were very friendly along with the wonderful check in staff and the ability to leave our luggage was also a big plus!! We had booked 3 rooms in total, our room was on the first level and looked out over the bridge walk way to the entrance. I would highly recommend these accommodations for anyone looking for good value for their money.
