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.).

AustraliaWe had a wonderful stay! Kevin was incredibly welcoming and attentive, and Susan prepared delicious breakfasts every morning. The room is beautiful, clean, and well-organised, with all the amenities you could need. It truly felt like a home away from home. We’ll definitely be coming back!!!

The breakfast was absolutely delicious. Our room overlooked gardens and was very comfortable. Whilst the hotel a fair distance from the city centre there are plenty of buses that regularly pass by. It is close to Holyrood park and Arthur's Seat. Kevin is a brilliant host.

Thank you so much Kevin for your warm hospitality, kindness and empathy. We’ll come back ASAP ;)

United KingdomI liked everything!
This hotel is such a gem! Quiet, safe, and cosy, located away from the hustle and bustle of the festival but well served by buses and Ubers. The bed was like sleeping on a cloud, the hosts were super welcoming and friendly, and the breakfasts were all divine - I stayed four nights and enjoyed a different cooked breakfast every day, along with the fantastic buffet options. Also, amazing selection of teas in the breakfast room too - think I might have found a new favourite! The room was lovely and spacious with a good size bathroom and shower, and the bedding was wonderful high quality - SO cosy and the optional extra blankets in the wardrobe were a thoughtful addition too. The shower's water pressure and temperature was perfect, and the kettle and tea/coffee sachets in the bedroom were a nice touch. In short - I absolutely loved it here.

United StatesIt was very hot in Edinburgh when I stayed there. My room was on the third floor, and the temperature in the room exceeded 30°C for several days. It was quite unbearable to return to the room on those days.
The staff were incredibly amazing. I always felt like my needs were taken care of. Also, the breakfast was delicious, and the property is incredibly close to public transportation. I also liked that it’s very quiet.

New ZealandNothing. It met my selections.
I absolutely loved my stay here! The property is excellent and in a fantastic location, making it so easy to explore. It has the charm of an old Scottish home, with plenty of character, yet still feels modern and comfortable. The stairs between floors added to the charm for me—it gave the place a unique and special feel rather than being a standard hotel. A perfect balance of history and comfort. Highly recommend!
