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 KingdomThe shower looked as though it was starting to go mouldy on the bottom edge and could do with a more thorough clean.
Staff were amazing and got us into the room early which made a huge difference on our stay in the city, being able to rest a bit before exploring! The bed was so comfy and spacious.

Czech RepublicLimited storage space (there's no place in the bathroom to put towels and other items, and there's only one bedside cabinet). Lack of outlets (they are only on one side of the bed). The mattress was dirty.
Great location, close to the city center, yet no noise can be heard from outside. The bed was comfortable and large.

CanadaSusceptible to noise as some rooms back onto a loading area for a supermarket. The first night there was loading and unloading late at night for an hour. It takes 25 minutes walking into the centre of Edinburgh and the attractions. There is a very good bus system.
Good value for money for an overnight. No lift so not good for older people with luggage. It's More a hostel style hotel and is part of the university of Edinburgh.probably converted student residence

Czech RepublicThe room was very small for 2 people. There was a lack of space for our belongings. The only chair in the room was worn and dirty—it had a stain of unknown origin on the seat and the material was covered in additional dirt. We were hesitant to touch it. We also found some hairs on the towels, which raised our concerns about cleanliness. When we returned from the city in the evening, we noticed an odor in the room despite having the window open. The next morning, I was woken up by a strong smell coming from the bathroom, likely from the drain. Since we were staying for only two nights, we didn't want to complicate our stay and decided not to address the smell.
The hotel is very central. We were accommodated on the 3rd floor with a view of the street. The view was pleasant and with the bed placed right by the window, I felt like a cat lounging in the window :) The bed was absolutely comfortable, with nice pillows and blankets. We also enjoyed breakfast very much, it was delicious! And the dining room was very cozy. I appreciated the friendly service and the option to leave our belongings for safekeeping after check-out. I was pleased that the room had the option to prepare tea or hot chocolate. We liked the design of the room.

United KingdomThe room was quite small however we only stayed one night so wasn't an issue. However, as the room we were in faced onto a road, we got woke up from 7am onwards with cars, vans, bins being emptied & roadworks or something along those lines with a lot of banging and clattering which was annoying. Obviously not the hotels fault but just something to note when staying here / in a city in general!
Bed was comfy, nice quirky rooms and staff who we spoke to were lovely
