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.).

GreeceThe apartment is ideally located, clean, quiet and comfortable. The price is right, you can't get any better for this money in Edinburgh center. The hostess is the kindest you could hope for, super eager to help with anything you need or give any info required. Highly recommended place

PolandEverything was ok.
Amazing location - 5 minutes walking to Surgeon's Museum, 10 minutes to National Museum of Scotland, but the apartment is in very calm neighborhood. Two bedrooms- bigger with biggest wardrobe, smaller with small one. The apartment is very good equipped - we had everything we need during one week stay. If you don't want to take many clothes on your trip - there is also a washing machine. The soap and shower gel were also in very good quality. Very clean. The owner is very helpful. It's worth to ask her about places to see and eat in Edinburgh. I think it's very good quality- price ratio.

IrelandJust a recommendation, maybe some blankets for the couches and a toilet brush in the bathroom. Everything else was great!
This property is stunning! Wendy is so helpful and met us at the apartment to show us around and give us recommendations. The apartment had everything you could need,the coffee machine and milk frother being our favourites. It’s situated right beside a tesco and about a 10 minute walk to the royal mile but there’s bus stops all along the road. I would recommend this place to anybody!

Wendy (host) was fantastic. She was really helpful and responsive and so easy to deal with. Really well decorated and furnished apartment and very generous coffee, tea, biscuits, etc.. provided. Wendy went to the effort of providing additional bedding for the sofa bed and she was there to greet us on arrival on a bitterly cold evening. Carpark provided but pretty much anywhere we wanted to go was an easy and enjoyable walk.

United KingdomPerfect position in a little complex through an archway which led onto one of the main roads in Edinburgh so it was nice and quiet but a 1 minute walk to shops, cafes and restaurants and so close to the touristy places. A parking space came with the apartment which really sold it to us initially. The apartment was beautifully decorated with comfy sofas and a really comfy bed. Everything we needed was supplied... even a nespresso machine with milk frother!! The owner was lovely and met us on arrival and made clear she was available at any point during the stay should we need her which we didn't. We will definitely book again when visiting Edinburgh if its available.

FinlandI don't have anything negative to say.
The apartment was lovely, cosy and clean and had all comforts we needed. It was located in lovely and peaceful neighborhood but still close to the city centre and Holywood park/ Arthur's seat. Also, grocery stores and restaurants were just around the corner. The host Wendy was really helpful and flexible.

IsraelWe are a family of 4 stayed in this apartment for 5 nights. Very clean apartment, snow-white sheets, the kitchen is equipped with absolutely everything you need. Location is very central, quiet and safe. All major attractions within walking distance. There are several supermarkets nearby. There are a coffee machine with capsules, a dishwasher and a washing machine. Everything worked great. Two pairs of keys was also a bonus for us. Our flight was canceled and we had to change our flight and arrived at the apartment much earlier. Wendy greeted us with a cold bottle of wine and allowed us to check in much earlier. Thank you Wendy, it was very nice after a sleepless night!
