Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

AustraliaCould not fault a thing
From the moment we walked in we felt very at home for our first time in Edinburgh. Katie is so lovely and helpful, the building is stunning and we loved our spacious room overlooking the gorgeous gardens and the very large double vanity bathroom with a big bath also overlooking the gardens. We really could not fault a single thing and will be recommending 21212 to anyone travelling to Edinburgh! Thank you for making our engagement so special

United KingdomNo plug in the washbasin so water from taps just goes down the drain. The cubicle does not capture the splashes of water from Rain shower - should be a little bigger.
Gorgeous architecture but modern style in a quiet location a short walk from Princes St + tram stop from Airport. Very large en suite with shower, stand alone bath and twin wash basins. A extra King bed + large wardrobes with robes and slippers. In the hall a help yourself tea/coffee service. In the room a welcome slow gin + a small fridge with a mini bar (priced).

AustraliaWe were at the top of the house so there were stairs, but we knew that would be the case.
The location was amazing and walkable to the centre and great restaurants. Also discovered the beautiful Calton Hill, which was literally next door to the property and had amazing views of the city from the top. Katie was super too.

United KingdomOnly slight problem was with the shower. The shower head height couldn't be altered.
Amazing apartment with everything you might need.We were given a very warm welcome when we arrived and given a comprehensive tour of the apartment even though we were not due to check in for a few hours. It was no problem to leave our bags and go exploring. Bed was very comfy and we had a great sleep. Might have had something to do with the white noise machine in the bedroom area. We did not book breakfast but there was muesli, bread,jam and butter in the kitchen as well as coffee,tea and milk. Will definitely recommend 21212 to our friends.

Incredible. I thought from the photos it would be nice but that is an understatement. The design and furnishings and quality of both, plus the size of the place all were shocking. When we walked in my daughter asked if it was the lobby! Four seasons.

IrelandThe little bit of noise in the morning but it wasn't that bad & Earplugs would have sorted it had we been bothered enough
The ambience of the apartment was lovely, low lighting & classical music greeted us. The hosts provided lots of nice touches. They noted that the apartment could be a tad noisy with noise from the restaurant & provided Earplugs. We had no issue with getting to sleep around midnight but there was a small bit of noise from morning at up in the restaurant / main hotel alive 8.30/9am. Had we had Earplugs in we probably wouldn't have noticed. The decor is beautiful. Bed large & comfortable. Bathroom very lush. The location is fantastic if going to the playhouse for a gig. Staff were very welcoming. We would definitely recommend & consider rebooking in future
