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.).

RomaniaWould have liked that the windows could open - the basement single room had a very slight musty smell at times, but it dissappeared when I started the heater. Bathroom and shower quite tiny - it is clear they have been reconverted into that from rooms with initially other purposees.
The experience of a typical victorian townhouse, now transformed into a guest house.. Keiko was a very thoughtful and attentive host. The tea tray in the room was much appreciated.

Lovely guest house in a good location. I had a single room on the lower floor, which was lovely and clean and very quaint. The toilet and shower were separate to the room, which I was happy with, all next door to each other, doors had locks on. I had a great stay and will stay again.👍

A wonderful location, can walk to many attractions or jump on bus 1/2 block away. Very responsive hosts ensuring all your needs are met. We had a lovely view of garden.

GermanyAs always in UK cities, parking is hard to find and expensive. Formally there are some spots in front of the guest house which are free of charge from Friday night to Monday morning. But since they are also shared with residents there was no empty space, so we had to book a private parking some streets away. In terms of value for money this was the most expensive accommodation on our UK trip.
Keiko is such a great and helpful person. Location is good, just a short walk up the hill to the city centre, or to the botanical gardens in the other direction. Local pubs, cafes and grocery shopping nearby, as well as a bus stop.

United KingdomMy shower and bathroom were separate rooms - knew this before and wasn’t bothered but I felt a bit self-conscious trying keys in locks (especially at night) as the keys look almost identical. (I did get used to them). Not a moan - could colour code them.
Good location. Excellent communication from the property. Clean. No disturbance at night. Good value for size/location at the festival.

United KingdomJust a little Nigle the size of the room was amazing. It was fabulous having its own ensuite cubicle however I do feel that it could’ve been a little larger area for the bathroom considering how big the room was. It could definitely take it. There was barely any room once you step out of the shower to dry yourself . The shower and the toilet was just very close to each other to the door of the room.

United KingdomOn our arrival, we could smell mould, probably because we were given a basement room. We should have asked for a different room as my husband is tall and when we went to bed realised it had a foot board and the bed head had wide gaps in the rails which meant it was very uncomfortable for him. Also we found it difficult to work the shower. Having slept in the room we did not realise we could have asked to change as we are not used to staying in guest houses in UK.
In a convenient location. Host very helpful. It was very clean.

United KingdomNot far from city but it's a long uphill walk if you're not fit although bus stop at end of road. Single room has separate but private shower room and toilet - fine but bring something to wear in the hall! Shower room quite tight for space. Room very cold but heater worked well.
Located fairly close to Princes St, rooms and facilities pretty good. Owner stays in touch for any issues. Mattress felt soft but I had a better sleep on it than I normally do. Room small but cosy. Plenty of nearby pubs and eateries. Close to botanic gardens.
