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 KingdomArriving a little early we thought we’d have to wait around until check in time. However the staff welcomed us in and allowed us to check in early. Very friendly staff, beautiful hotel, the room was top class. We can’t wait to go back again and would highly recommend The Rutland as your first choice ❤️

CanadaThe beds sizes were inconsistent between the different rooms, some were king and some were double where a king or queen would have been more appropriate and better for a couple.
The interior design of the rooms, comfortable beds and very friendly and helpful staff.

We absolutely loved every single thing in apartment 1903, the decor is just fantastic and it was very comfortable and has so much character too. Perfect for a home from home feel, with an open plan kitchen/living room, a large bathroom with bath and a shower, and heated flooring, also a separate toilet. The location was perfect and nice and quiet at night. Huxley is great for breakfast also

United KingdomThe whole team at The Rutland went above and beyond our expectations during our stay. We really can’t thank them enough. The reception team were always a pleasure, making sure we always had everything we needed, and could always answer any queries we had. The room was in immaculate condition, with great decor and a fascinating view of the castle too. A selection of bars/restaurants were available to use, which were pretty much under the same roof as The Rutland too. This was fantastic for us as it gave us the option to grab something to eat/drink close by, meaning we could fuel up for a big day or wind down close to home if needed. We visited The Huxley Bar for breakfast one morning, and also Kyloe one evening too for dinner. We couldn’t pick a single fault with any of our meals at either of these places (plus, we got a discounted rate too due to us staying at The Rutland - bonus!) Me and my girlfriend went to Edinburgh to celebrate our 1 year anniversary, and we were left with the feeling that we never wanted to leave. Such a memorable experience. We hope to return soon in the future. Thank you to everyone that made this experience the best it could possibly be!
