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...).

FinlandRoom's ceiling light was a bit wonky (didn't always light up) and sink light didn't work, but those weren't anything close to being deal breakers. Some shampoo/shower gel would have been nice.
It was just as advertised. Nothing fancy, but enough for sleeping. Bed was ok.

United KingdomRoom very basic. No facilities for making coffee/tea etc.
Breakfast was very good. Effectively an all you can eat breakfast. Very good location. 1/2 walk to city centre. 5 mins from Holyrood Park/Arthur's Seat. Excellent price for Edinburgh in the summer.

United KingdomThe Fire Alarm was activated at 12.30am everyone got out of the digs in 10 mins. No Fire Marshals or no body about to tell us what was going on. False Alarm thank god. But could have been handled a bit better.
The Breakfast was excellent and had a lot of variety. Nice large dining area with plenty of room.

The staff were all lovely, and very accommodating - an extra key card was a massive help during our stay. The room was a good size and clean with good storage, and the breakfast each morning was fantastic value for money.

United StatesI know this is a power saving thing but it was a little creepy - the lights in the hall only came on if you stepped into the hall. I love the power saving aspect but it did take a little getting used to.
Breakfast was fantastic! The rooms are exactly what you think when you think of college dorm rooms but very clean and nice that there was a sink and a desk inside the room.

AustraliaThe shared bathrooms were sometimes not stocked with toilet paper or the paper was stuck inside the dispenser, which could be concerning if you don’t noticed before going. The current dispensers should be replaced with normal roll dispensers.
Great value for money as a solo traveller. Morning Brekky was excellent and the location was near lovely walks around Arthur’s seat.

United KingdomOne morning, the breakfast was well stocked. The second morning, there was hardly any fruit (despite being even earlier). The breakfast refectory is rammed, though I did just about manage to find a seat. The stay was fine, but with all Scottish accommodation- there's a value for money issue with the nightly rate for what you get.
Beautiful surroundings Nice view out of room window. I stayed in Chancellors Court and the room was mostly clean and modern (there was a lot of dust under the bed which I found when picking something up). Absurdly warm room, even with radiator switched off. Thankfully, I could open the window but not at night as on the ground floor. The accommodation is fine, but Scottish prices are so high for what you get. Good location. Easy for festival access. Took me 28 mins or so to train station on foot - through busy city centre therefore an enjoyable walk.
