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.).

The locations was perfect, right in front of the bus stop in a nice and quiet neighborhood. The staff was amazing, very helpful and friendly people who try to accommodate everybody’s need (they also provided packed breakfast for us!). Breakfast was amazing and well cooked. The rooms are clean.

Breakfast was a highlight, it was a beautiful laid out room with a beautiful view. I had a lovely view of Edinburgh city from my room. All facilities were wonderful and met my expectations. I was able to leave my luggage in the accommodation while I waited for my afternoon train. Public transport is so easy and quick which was amazing. There are stairs but that wasn’t a problem for me.

United KingdomThis is a nice guest house, a little out of Edinburgh city centre. The walk here from the train station took us about 40 minutes. We chose to take the bus when we went back to the station, and the host was helpful in directing us to the best bus stop. The number 23 ran every 15 minutes, and dropped us in the heart of the city for £2.20p. Our room and bathroom were good, and breakfast was very nice and the people we dealt with were all lovely. I would recommend this guest house, as long as being in the heart of the city isn't essential. It's slighly out of town location is reflected in the price, as city centre accommodation is often much more expensive.

ItalyThe host is really kind and helpful, the breakfast is typical Scottish but you can find also brioches, cereals, yogurt and fruit. The lady that cooks the breakfast is so nice too. The room is comfortable, a smart TV is available inside, such as towels, shower gel and hair dryer. If you want you can also have breakfast or a break in the room using the coffee - tea maker provided with the cups and biscuits. The position is a little far from the city centre, in a quiet residential area. However, it is easily and well connected by bus with the main attractions of the city.

It was a beautiful little house just outside of the centre. The room was a great size and very clean! The host were wonderful, friendly and helpful. The bus stop was right outside and it only took roughly 25mins to get to the centre. Great breakfast with a view of Edinburgh castle. Would stay there again in a heartbeat!
