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.).

KazakhstanWhat creates a pleasant impression of the city you visit? First of all, this is the place where you first settle. We were very lucky that we were able to choose such a wonderful place with a good location and a very sensitive and kind owner, David. If you got to the city by bus and when you leave the bus station you immediately get to the apartment. This is a spacious and comfortable apartment, with all amenities, with stunning views from the window. Just sit down and make a movie. I recommend to everyone.

David, the host was exceptionally helpful from the minute we booked - including meeting us onsite, assisted with our luggage and providing info about the property and area. The property was generously provisioned with wine, coffee, fresh milk, chocolates, biscuits - all of which were delightfully unexpected and absolutely appreciated. The location of the property is fantastic - so close to all attractions, the main train station and other transport options. The fitout and the ambience of the property is superb - right down to the beautiful Christmas Tree in the living room considering our stay was over the Christmas period and we were a small family group. I highly recommend the property to any small family group or couple coming to stay in Edinburgh wanting to be in the heart of it all and feel very much at home!

United KingdomThere was nothing we did not like.
David met us at the apartment to let us in and show us what was what. David is the best host we have ever had anywhere we've stayed: above and beyond with everything, from little extras to information on where to go!!! Excellent. The apartment was beautiful and clean, with everything you needed for your stay. The apartment is in the best place with the bus station, tram stop and taxis a stone throw away. Lovely award winning chippy 10 minutes walk away, gallery across the road; everything you could need or want is on the doorstep and train station a straight walk down from or to the apartment. Loved it and we will stay again when we go back up to beautiful Edinburgh.

I loved the personal touch. David met us at the apartment and his communication skills prior to our visit were fantastic. We love the high ceilings, the locality - so central. So modern as well. David provided bread, butter, jam, fresh fruit, crisps, filter coffee, tea, milk, biscuits and all the toiletries were M&S - very very well appointed.

AustraliaThe access stairs were a concern for us due to a mobility issue, but we managed okay.
Location: So central, close to the Portrait Gallery, Waverley Station, good restaurants, and a massive shopping complex. Transport: Close to Waverley Station and even closer a stop for the tram that can take you out to the airport or down to Leith. Comfort: Quiet, clean, spacious (except for the bathroom) Support: David was a most welcoming host, providing lots of local information

IndonesiaThe only complaint was just the size of the toilet bowl space, because for us (with an average height of 170 cm) is not that comfortable to do the number 2.
Beyond my expectations. Your accommodation was truly helping us adjust to Edinburgh's magical weather. The location was near the bus station, tram station, and centre of the city. So many complimentary for breakfast, and the bathroom facilities were superb! The beds are comfortable, the windows are big with nice views, and a lot of space for big pieces of luggage.

Excellent is too little to say. An elegant apartment, well equipped, located in the center, close to all means of transport, with a wonderful view of the Portrait Museum with the look of a Victorian castle. David, the owner welcomed us making the installation very easy ours. Thank you David for your attention and for the bouquet of carnations and snacks from the kitchen.

Nice and bright, with big windows in all rooms, especially the living room, big bedroom and kitchen. living room and the big bedroom overlooks the portrait museum, which was a nice historic building. David was warm and welcoming. met us at the apartment upon arrival, and explained things in the apartment. He also gave us a list of things to explore around the city, which was super helpful. The apartment is equipped with full kitchenware, and a washing machine. a nice break from our hotel stay earlier in the UK trip. The location is superb, short walking distance from the train station, and walking distance to most of the attractions in the city. loved our stay and we look forward to our future trips to Edinburgh.
