How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewThe room was very clean apart from the carpet.
The mattress was well overdue for replacement, rolling into the large depression in it was very uncomfortable and caused back and hip pain. The black mould around the bath. The broken toilet seat, the broken toilet roll holder and the stained carpet. The shortage of tea and coffee. On check in the room was extremely cold but became hot and very stuffy due to having to close the window because of traffic noise from the car park and nearby coffee house. There were no instructions for the air conditioner and the fan didn’t appear to work.
Thanks for taking the time to leave us a review. I am sorry to hear your room was not up to standard, our team are on hand 24 hours if you ever need anything. We are happy to supply extra tea and coffee on request. The rooms are set to a colder temperature during the summer months however the temperature can be controlled without the need to open or close the windows, again out team are always on hand if you required any help with this.

Verified reviewThe room was fine but breakfast was appalling. It was the cheapest of food; the cheapest thin sliced bread, cheap boxed cereals, inedible scrambled eggs, poor tea and coffee.
See above
Thanks for taking the time to leave us a review. I am sorry to hear you did not enjoy your breakfast however I do have to disagree that our breakfast is of poor quality. It is great value and very popular with both hotel guests and locals alike.

Verified reviewGreat for wheelchair access and the bar plus outdoor area was nice.
Stayed in the Dunblane Hydro and Falkirk Travel Lodge the nights before this and both were over £20 cheaper and included breakfast.
Thanks for taking the time to leave us a review. Great to hear you enjoyed your stay. Our prices are based on local demand and will always be competitive in the area, prices are at a peak in August due to the Edinburgh Festival.
