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 KingdomA few electrical issues - towel rail function wouldn't stay on consistently and a fuse tripped whilst I was fixing breakfast; staff sorted the latter fairly quickly.
Great location, modern decor, and all the mod cons you could need!

United KingdomThe manager showed us how to control the air con heating and we followed the instructions but found it would be warm then cold again later. Being of a smaller build in stature, the beds were a little high to get on for us.
All modern, excellent location for my work purpose, walking distance to the castle and other shopping and tourist areas

United KingdomIf I'm being honest the price, really expensive for something that felt no different than a premier inn, bit more up market. Maybe everything in Grassmarket is overpriced but all in all we enjoyed to overall experience
The apartment was excellent really clean and tidy, really handy to have a kitchenette in the room, didn't really need it but the fridge came in handy for drinks, the staff where really friendly and helpful and made us feel at ease.

United KingdomI upgraded to a castle view room, you could only see the castle from a velux window in the roof if you were standing in the middle of the room. I don't think this room should be classed as a castle view, if I had known the velux was the only window in the room I wouldn't have bothered upgrading as the courtyard view with a bigger window looked nicer and would let in more light
Friendly staff and comfy bed, irn bru and biscuits etc in the room were a nice touch

United KingdomRooms are not automatically cleaned or replenished unless requested. Not a particular problem as you are given a contract number on arrival and can use the text service 24/7.
Great location, well contained room with very comfortable beds. Our room had a castle view and all modern amenities expected of a studio apartment. We celebrated a birthday and the hotel had left complementary Prosecco, cakes and a card which was a lovely gesture.
