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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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 StatesThe hotel was farther out from the city they we had expected. It took a bit to figure out the bus system.
The breakfasts were delicious! The breakfast room was cozy and inviting. The couple that run this beautiful hotel are delightful! After serious fall on the Royal Mile, they took such good care of us. They made us a wonderful breakfast with tea and cookies at 2pm. When we had to find somewhere close for dinner they gave us a ride to the restaurant.

SingaporeI only wish that there was a TV with more channels and perhaps an air-conditioner, as on 1 or 2 occasions, the room got a bit warm. But these are very minor issues that didn't affect my stay much.
The hosts were excellent and friendly, guiding me on how to explore the city fully. I really enjoyed my stay in the rooms; the room and bathroom were spacious and comfortable. The location is convenient and accessible. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who goes to Edinburgh for a visit.

United StatesThe only thing that was a negative was our room number 18 was literally 2 steps from the front door so when other guests came home at 1:30 in the morning we were woken up.
The room was fairly large with a big front window, super comfy bed and a kettle with teas and coffee in the room was a plus. The breakfast was excellent and they were so nice to make us a breakfast bag to go for our early morning flight.

FinlandNo complaints. But where do muddy shoes go in a fully carpeted room? This puzzled me.
Friendly staff, great breakfast, convenient location. You can use the bus or even walk from the city. The room was comfortable, and I really liked the building. The pretty bathroom made me feel fancy. I found this to be the perfect B&B; feels like a home but is run with professional skill.

We had such a fun time at this hotel. The whole place had its own charm and really the workers were extremly kind and helpful. The breakfast was delicious and plenty. The oldtown was easily approachable even by foot. The hotel itself is in a quiet, beautiful environment.

We stayed here for 2 days. This hotel exceeded our expectations. The owners and the staff are so attentive to every need. The only thing I would mention is that if you are not very agile ask for a low floor as the stairs are quite steep. Apart from that it is a really nice place in a great location.
