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.).

BahrainNothing, great experience!
Very central location, easy access to the train station and Princes street. Fantastic breakfast included, and the complimentary drink on check-in was very thoughtful> Check-in is 3pm and there is not a lot of flexibility but there is a lovely chill room you can sit and wait in while your room is getting ready.

BelgiumOnly reason why we didn’t give a 10 is that the air extraction in the room is working so exceptionally well that it tends to get a bit cold. The fancy Dyson solves this in a matter of minutes but it’s the only ‘negative’ point we can think of.
This is really a place where everything is just right, from the general atmosphere, to the people, the graphic and interior design, little attentions, humorous touches and central location. We really loved our stay here and enjoyed the nice food and great beers as well. Totally recommend.

FranceThe shower is weak, there is no lift from the ground floor, the fridge was not topped up everyday, we had to ask for clean towels one day, there is no room service, only a mobile number to call, the common areas are quite dark, the lift is terribly slow and my wife got stuck inside.
Everything is great at this hotel. The breakfast is just amazing, the rooms are the best I ever saw or almost. I would love that every hotel was like this one.

The staff was amazing, Mika and team greeted us and could not have been more helpful or knowledgeable about activities in Edinburgh. He even went as far as to try to help us book a Whiskey tour last minute as we were only in town for a short time. Every employee we interacted with a BrewDog could not have been more pleasant or more helpful. We will definitely return and highly recommend others to stay here. The room was great, and even included a kitchenette, which was wonderful for TRAVEL. Love the beer, fridge and snacks that were available for purchase in the room. And, we love the water and sweet treats that were free for a hotel guest in the common area. Great food at the restaurant and great atmosphere throughout the hotel. Location was an easy walk from the train station. I would highly recommend staying at the BrewDog House in Edinburgh.

Staff were excellent. Food was really good. The room had some really lovely touches. Location was perfect for exploring Edinburgh. I really loved the emphasis on sustainability "free beer for not having towels replaced". Staying at this hotel was a really pleasurable experience. Would recommend to anyone visiting Edinburgh.
