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.).

New ZealandThe room is hot and there is no AC. The windows don't open (locked I presume as on the 3rd floor). However, when I asked reception for a fan, it was delivered, and that helped cool the room down. The extractor fan in the bathroom was not particularly effective at removing steam from the shower which then condensed to water droplets on the window and mirror and since there is no fresh air coming in, after a shower the room becomes very muggy. I also had an issue where the extractor fan would turn itself on and run for 20 mins at a time in the early hours. 3 of the 5 nights I stayed here, I got broken sleep as it did this. I did report to reception, but there was no fix in my time there. As mentioned previously, there's no elevator. The stairs are steep, and if you have heavy luggage, I would definitely consider this in your decision to stay.
The staff are lovely and obliging. The bed is big and comfortable and while the room is quite small it is still very functional. The location to the Royal Mile is great, and the bus stops close enough should you want to go further afield. The breakfast is also very good and it's great it's included in the price.

GermanySmall room, very hot and stuffy, you have to climb over the bed to open the little window. Then again at night there was a constant stream of cold air onto the bed where our heads were because the window didn't close shut very tightly. Safe was'nt working and the soap dispensers were very annoying. Ventilation in the bathroom very loud. Breakfast could use a little more vegetarian and vegan options, maybe some fresh vegetables? Unfortunately the mattress was VERY saggy on one side so couldn't sleep well.
Fabulous staff, very nice bathroom and shower, super thick and fluffy towels, great location, shower gel and soap smelling really nice! Luggage storage provided and the included breakfast was okay. Room was small but decent and quite modern. Lots of lighting. Cleaning was spotless. Loved the USB charging ports and the daily dose of shortbread!

United KingdomThe only real problem I had was the very noisy air conditioning units across the courtyard from our window, which was not attached to the KM Hotel but rather some retail units behind the accomodation. The noise from these kept me awake for a long time both nights despite trying earplugs and headphones, and as the room was also really quite warm, we did need to have the window open - which was right above our heads with the room layout.
The room had everything we needed and the bed itself was very spacious and super comfortable. The shower was also super easy to control the temperature and pressure. Staff at the front desk were always polite and helpful and were happy to place our luggage in the safe room before and after we checked out. The breakfast options were also excellent, although the veggie options could have been better broadcasted by the staff.
