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.).

IndiaExcellent location right in city centre and friendly staff, they let us checked in a bit earlier and accommodated us to a room of our choice. Excellent bars and pubs next door with old town a few minutes walk. The terrace and bar area is quite charming.

United StatesThe staffs at the front desk obviously do not like their jobs. They all looked like they were upset when every guests walked in. When I asked what the easiest way to get to the airport, one of the staffs looked really annoyed by my question. They need to learn how to respond to hotel guests.
Location is great, about 7 mins walk from the train station and 10 mins to bus/tram to Airport. Also close to the Royal Mile, castle and many restaurants. There is also a small market like 2 doors down that you can get water, fresh fruits..etc. It's on the main street and busy, some noise at night but nothing too bothersome.

IndiaRoom cleaning could have been much better. It was not getting cleaned till late afternoon. Twice we returned around 3pm and room was still not cleaned. Stocking of sugar sachet was not done at all.
Location was fantastic with most places in walking distance. Room was as expected in any Ibis property. Reception was helpful.

United KingdomThe heating system is awful! I cannot stand these thermostat controlled systems which either blow out warm air or freezing cold air. It kept stopping, then it would start again in the middle of the night. There were no instructions on how to use the thermostat, so it was more guess work. I asked the reception staff about it and they just said you press the on button! I don’t think they knew what to do really. There are hardly any plugs in the rooms. There were only 2, none of them are near the bedside, they are on the other side of the room, which was annoying. There were no drawers in the room, only open shelves to put clothing etc, which isn’t great. No instructions on how to use the TV either. It was a complicated system, but managed it in the end. It just would have been helpful if there were instructions in the room for things.
The location is fantastic, just around the corner to the Royal Mile. The room was a good size, lovely comfortable bed, nice shower room. Very clean. The staff were lovely. The breakfast was great, lots of choice and lovely food. The restaurant was really good too. We ate there every evening and the food and service was superb.

United StatesThe bed was a bit of an issue. It was merely a futon with a mattress pad. It was very uncomfortable. I wasn't a fan of the bathroom pod, but it was completely functional. My main gripe was the uncomfortable bed.
The room was large and had plenty of room for everything. The view was excellent with a large window. The staff were friendly, and the accommodations were great & quiet. It was a great value in a fantastic location. Would stay here again.
