How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Entrance to the apartment could do with a spruse up but not the hosts fault. The shower was very awkward and soaked the bathroom due the positioning. I would recommend bringing your own pillow as I would of been very unhappy if I hadn't on this occasion. Flat as a pancake :/ The apartment itself is great but it could do with some TLC in places. Overall I was happy with this apartment and the hose was great but it is a little overpriced I would say
Location was great, just a short walk to the Royal Mile. The host was quick to respond when we had an issue with the boiler and it was quickly resolved! The kitchen was also well equipped

The shower was very awkward and dangerous. I could not stand under the showerhead without getting the entire bathroom wet. A dedicated shower would work better than a tub with shower.
Good, accurate communication about key location and how to access the property. Loved the close location to museums, the Royal Mile, and services. Parking was excellent.

The shower head was in a awkward position, so you had to be careful turning it on so you didn’t get water everywhere
The property was very clean and spacious for 3 people guests. The property is in a great location in walking distance of all the main attractions, bars and restaurants.

A lovely, clean cosy apartment just a walks away from the Royal Mile. Wi-Fi and satellite t.v, modern kitchen like a home away from home. Plenty of amenities just around the corner, would definitely recommend this listing to family and friends and plan a return visit myself. Bonus to have a free parking space and clear instructions on how to collect the keys.

Some improvement recommendation. 1. We could not find any dishwasher detergent. 2. Insufficient of spoons. There were only two spoons and a tea spoon for 3 adults. 3. Insufficient coffee pods. The more the better for coffee lovers. :)
A stylish apartment, clean, cozy and within walking distance to restaurants, grocery shops, pharmacies, and Edinburgh's attractions such as the castle, Holyrood Park, National Museum of Scotland, etc! Saved us parking fees and it is quiet during night time. A small apartment with all the fundamental necessities. We will come to stay again if we visit Edinburgh again.
