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 KingdomThe room was a little noisy but given the age of the building and the fact its listed, this simply couldn't be helped! Solution here is to bring a sleep mask / ear plugs! The key situation was also a bit strange in that ours opened both the front door and our room door. We may well have been unique in this case, but it did raise a few minor security concerns..
We stayed whilst visiting the Fringe. The location was really good, around a 10 minute walk to the playhouse, albeit up a relatively steep climb! It was nice to be tucked away from hustle and bustle. Our room was quite compact, but had everything a couple visiting fringe required, namely a comfy bed! Tom was a fantastic host and his breakfasts were worth the stay alone! The decor was also very inkeeping with the Fringe vibe whilst celebrating everything great about Scotland.

United StatesThe room are dated and needs some updating. Our bathroom door wouldn’t shut well and parking is a challenge. The stairs are also a challenge for seniors.
The host was very kind and they serve a wonderful breakfast in a charming dining room. The room was clean and quiet and it had all the amenities we needed. The bathroom had been updated and it was nicely done.

AustraliaNothing really
Cheerfully decorated period property not to far from attractions. Bus stops just close by and tram a short walk up the hill. Our room was very large and comfy, the only drawback was the ensuite was a bit small and didn’t have a shower curtain so water tended to go everywhere. Breakfast was excellent and Manager Tom a great host.

United KingdomPersonal preference, but my pillows were a bit flat. Could have done with a kettle, we're tea drinkers and tea bags were available in the room. There's a great coffee machine with a variety of pods however.
The decor was great, very interesting. The room couldn't have been better placed for us, and the location was perfect. Tommy and staff were lovely, really friendly, and helpful, even did breakfast for our son, whom we were visiting for the weekend. A real little gem of a place. Great toiletries, a nifty shower, plenty of space, and a quiet nights sleep.
