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 use a weighted review system which means that 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 KingdomGetting into the building when we first arrived. We received the email explaining how this worked on the day we left to come to Edinburgh.This should have been emailed 1 week before we were due to arrive. This was quite stressful after a long journey. We weren't the only ones. There was another couple trying to enter the building just after we arrived. It proved difficult to get hold of the owners of the building on the phone numbers listed on the door.
The room was exceptionally clean and tidy. Our bathroom, across the hall, was also exceptionally clean and tidy. Lovely stay.

Well equipped. Even though on property there were only 2 spots available, the suggested parking areas were very convenient and cheap.

United KingdomThere are a.few improvements that cud be made to make this a perfect stay. No rail anywhere in the room to hang clothes on even tho there was hangers in the cupboard. TV didnt seem to connect to wi-fi so we cudnt watch anything when we reutrned in the evening and the room was very warm maybe needed a fan or something as we cudnt open the windows. In addition to this a breakfast option wud be nice but we did know when we.booked that it was room only.
Beautifully decorated room, very clean. Easy to collect key from key box and managed to get one of the two parking spaces. Bathroom was luvly too and very clean. Iron, small ironing board and hangers in the cupboard. Loads of drawer space too Bed was really comfy had a good night's sleep

United KingdomThe main problem we had was the toilet being separate from the room but I understand not much can be done about that, didn’t realise the toilet would be in main entrance hallway. Talking to staff through buzzer at front door was difficult.
A short bus ride into the main part of the city was good, the furnishings were nice and I liked the decorating. Good tv and comfy bed. Good price!

United KingdomFor anyone who prefers a quiet night, be warned that this is on a main road from the city centre to the hospital, so road traffic is busy through the night. Our room was at the front but they had lots of other rooms.
Easily accessible from Edinburgh City centre with regular bus service. The room was clean, comfortable and had all that we needed for a short stay (including clean towels, hairdryer, iron, kettle and tea/coffee).

United KingdomWas quite expensive but school holidays and Edinburgh Fringe starts this weekend! Had to share a bathroom with another room, but the bathroom was spotless. No wifi, needed a password and I wasn't given this and there were no staff.
I arrived late and so didn't see anyone but communication was good around check in. Room was lovely, small but I had a single room and it was clean, comfortable and well equipped. If you just want a base and no additional facilities a good choice but wasn't cheap!

United KingdomThe main problem with this hotel is the customer service, which is pretty much non-existent. You see nobody during your stay, which means resolving any issues is impossible. I had to wake up at 6am to get a flight from Edinburgh airport, but I was awoken at 1am by a large group of people returning (presumably) from a night out in the city centre. The group were shouting and playing music in their room until 2am, and I had to knock on their door to ask them to be quiet. As there was no front desk, I made a complaint to the owner via the messaging service. This complaint was not acknowledged or resolved, despite me messaging the owner again the following morning. This poor customer service means that I would not return to this property again.
The room was extremely comfortable and had a lot of good facilities, such as tea and coffee, a TV with lots of channels (despite the short time we were in the room) and a good sized bathroom. It was also located a one-minute walk from the bus stop, which reaches the city centre in around 10 minutes.
