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 KingdomThe only fault was that it was very late check in and early check out which were non flexible, this was inconvenient having to lug our suitcases around Edinburgh for hours. However, for the price of the room, that wasn't completely unreasonable.
About 20 minutes walk from the city centre but less than 10 on a bus. Very clean and comfortable. Large room with lots of storage and facilities. Everything is provided, even washing up liquid for the dishes. Clear instructions were given on how to access the room and building and how to use the facilities in the studio.

Irelandthe bed is a bit too small for two adults
clean, nicely equipped studio, everything we need; good video to explain how to check in - no issues! I'd say great value for money - walking distance from the city center

United KingdomParking is a pain, but it is in most of Edinburgh. Definitely plan ahead for where you are going to park (permit zone outside the apartment is between 8am-5:30pm). Also, the oven is not very user-friendly - more instructions (maybe printed?) could help!
Amazing value for money, fully kitted out apartment perfect for a couple. Thoughtful video explaining the check-in/tour before we arrived. Excellent location - really central, right by the canal. Very clean and nicely decorated.

United KingdomThe bed is a bit small for two grown adults (a small double) but we managed. We didn’t realise this until we had booked and the. Watched the video. Was described as delux double. No comfy chair to sit on. We were provided with the means to wash dishes up but no dish towel to dry so left them to drip (sorry!) The video show how to work the oven but only the microwave part. It is a combo and worked it out too late how to work proper oven. Maybe an instruction sheet? I also had to throw away any plastic we used - saw some big recycle bins in courtyard but no idea how to get to them or if we were allowed to.
Very central location, good value at the price, facilities to self cater available, nice and clean, easy booking and checking in. All went flawlessly.

GermanyWhen you consider one primarily needs such a location as a base to keep their luggage and a place to sleep, the weakest link was the mattress. It wasn’t that cozy. Could use potentially a memory foam topper or a better quality mattress. The WiFi did not work. The mobile phone reception for data was poor.
Great location. In excellent condition. Very clean. It was so very nearly the perfect package but the aspects that didn’t hit the mark were big misses. They missed getting the fundamentals right.

IrelandRoom is more of a pod or cell than a room. Very Major Tom. The single window was approximately the size and shape of a door, but faced out onto the street, with people walking by every few minutes a couple of inches from your feet. Leaving curtains of window open was not therefore an option. It was quite hot, even with the heat turned fully off. Staffing is minimal, at least during the weekend. Oh yeah, no TV either.
I liked the cleanliness and self contained nature. Quite close to several take-outs, and most importantly from a well stocked Lidl's. Self catering is entirely possible. Has fridge, sink, electric kettle, and electric stove top, and small but sufficient supply of plates and cutlery. Weirdly no microwave though.
