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 StatesThe room was very hot when we arrived. I was able to open a window and prop a fan on a small table to circulate air. After a few hours it was comfortable to sleep in.

United KingdomOnly down side I'd say was it was a bit snug in the bathroom and that there was no good ventilation in there (made going to the bathroom a little stuffy and clammy)
The room was very stylish and we were blown away by the presentation when we first arrived!! We also liked the option for use of a hob and kettle (we ourselves only used the kettle to make teas/coffee as we ate out most days and there were no cooking utensils/pots to cook with anyway)

United KingdomVery little to dislike, but not the best location and the outside of the building is a bit scruffy. The main reason for marking down a bit is the cost. It wasn't cheap, but we went in late August,, for a gig at Murrayfield not the Fringe, and we all know that Edinburgh is very busy in August.
Lovey comfortable clean room with everything you need for a short stay. Close to Slateford Station and on a bus route. Plebty of ammineties close by too.Would definitely stay here again.

LithuaniaI didn’t like the cleanliness. There was visible mold in the shower, and a lot of dust under the bed and mattress. The shower was placed very close to the toilet with no partition, so after showering the entire bathroom floor got wet.
I liked that the accommodation is located in a quiet, beautiful neighborhood. The room was very peaceful — we couldn’t hear any traffic or noise from other guests. The price was quite reasonable. The room had coffee, tea, even cookies and creamers provided. There’s also a small terrace outside, which was a lovely touch.

Room 12 is nice, homey and warm. The facilities are good. Toiletries and towels are provided. The kitchen is stocked with utensils. The location is superb. Less than an hour from Edinburgh and is near the bus stop. There is also Sainsburry nearby.
