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 StatesBreakfast, room and location were great. The view from my room was incredible. It made it hard to leave! The bed was so comfortable. I was able to reach everything I wanted to see on foot. The staff were incredible. They were very helpful in making suggestions that gave me a scenic route to my destinations even though it added more time by foot. They were very proactive, anticipating and recommending things that I did not think about. Take their suggestions! I am a regular traveler and they made my experience even better!

I loved the whole experience, from checking in till I left the place. To start, I would really appreciate Kate who upgraded our studio to an apartment with no charge since we asked for it and we expected some kind of payments for the upgrade but surprisingly she did it with no charge, and the whole staff was really helpful and friendly and they were there for everything we needed.

United KingdomMy only quibble would have been that electrical appliances should ideally be inspected following each guest checking out to ensure they are safe and in good working order for the next guest. Aside from this, our stay was excellent!
My friend and I were very happy with our accommodation, and the staff were friendly, attentive and extremely helpful. Our apartment had a Castle view, as we’d booked, and made our stay feel extra special. We noticed that the kettle in our apartment had been damaged by a previous guest, so we reported this without further delay. A member of staff at Reception replaced the kettle and was very apologetic. The location of the property was spot on and we could not have been happier. Thank you!

United StatesI had a room facing the castle. Unfortunately, it was on level 1 (the second floor). Every night there were people on the street talking well into the night. This kept me awake and I had to use noise cancelling headphones to get any sleep.
I liked the location, close to Old Town but around the corner so not directly on a busy street. Continental breakfast was pretty good

United StatesPretty expensive for looking out at a bunch of apartments and you had to pay 16 pounds for the breakfast. Pretty pricey.
It was just down the hill from the castle and short walk to lots of restaurants. It was clean and the kitchen was very nice.

United StatesThe scrambled eggs were very mushy, no texture, possibly powdered eggs? If you're from the US, the hotels in the UK do not provide wash cloths, so we always bring our own; I don't know how they wash their face and body?
New, clean, modern, nicely decorated hotel in an excellent location. Friendly accommodating staff. Very comfortable large king size bed, adequate size bathroom with small walk-in shower. Very complete buffet breakfast that includes full breakfast options, £16 per person/day. Very convenient parking in a secure the NCP Castle Terrace Carpark, just a few minutes walk from the hotel. Ask the receptionist for a discount card when you check out, £14.50.

CanadaThe bed . It was uncomfortable and very awkward King size bed jammed up against a cushioned corner headboard which meant accessible only on 2 sides Has to be a nightmare for employees when they make up the bed Certainly it meant the person sleeping on the wall had the lovely sheets full of wrinkles We both ended up with sore backs Street noise can go into early morning No instructions on how to use air conditioner or heating

United KingdomBooked when there was a sale on - it is on the expensive side otherwise.
Perfect location to explore Edinburgh on foot. Beautifully clean, comfortable beds and very well equipped room. Staff were very friendly and welcoming. Liked the 'pantry' where you could get nibbles and drinks. Great addition of a coffee machine, too. Could quite happily have stayed for a month as there was everything you could possibly need.
