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.).

Saudi ArabiaThe parking right infront of the hotel is very nice expensive between 8:30-6 pm. Parking farther away is rather inconvenient
Location is amazing, the room is nicely equipped with everything you need. The cafe downstairs is quite enjoyable.

IrelandThe apartment was always very hot, but a dyson fan was provided.
Beautiful accommodation in a great location. Staff were most welcoming and helpful. We had an apartment containing anything you might need. The white noise machine was an unusual touch. Tempted to buy one now for home. Very impressed.

United KingdomOur room window looked out on the back of the property (which wasn’t a problem as we weren’t there for the view!) but there is a club next door which was noisy enough on a Thursday night - could be louder at the weekends. Didn’t hear much when window was closed. Price wise it was alright - some similar properties on Royal Mile for similar prices though.
Apartment had everything you’d need for a short stay. Location pretty good for exploring. Cafe below looked lovely - also smelled amazing.

United KingdomAmazing location, very friendly staff. Lots of great extras in our room including air conditioning (which we’d requested), fan, white noise machine, washing machine. Good value considering we were there for the Fringe. Would definitely stay again next time we’re in Edinburgh. Noise really not bad at all with the windows closed and we’re usually quite sensitive to it.

United KingdomNot next to a nightclub but there isn’t anything the proprietor can do about that.
The location was great the centre of Edinburgh however there is a nightclub next door hence why they provided ear plugs. It had all the things you needed such as a washing machine and ironing board, but only enough crockery and cutlery for two people, it was compact but a great use of the space available.

Large one bedroom unit that had a well equipped kitchenette for a short or extended stay. Newer finishing, nice bathroom , comfortable bed and small couch with 2 TVs. Location is good just outside old town but with plenty of restaurants, cafes in short walking distance. Staff was friendly

AustraliaThey use quite a scented fragrance in the reception/ cafe downstairs and as I have allergies it caused me some discomfort walking through. No scent in bedrooms though but something to keep in mind if you are sensitive to heavy fragrances.
Well located, cute place with everything you need.

Everything about our stay at Eden Locke was excellent. The staff, the rooms, the location. It was the perfect place for us to kick off our trip when we got to Scotland. The room was great, spacious with a lovely kitchen space, washer/dryer combo and really comfortable bed. Loved the coffee shop downstairs as well and the location. A little quieter then staying closer to the royal mile but so easy to walk to anything we needed. We absolutely loved the area we were in and, with a little one, was perfect to have it be a little less crowded. But the staff are really what made this spot special. Everyone we interacted with went above and beyond to help us, give us recommendations and make our stay feel special. The bag storage was so helpful for us as well on either end of our stay too. We felt welcomed and so looked after and would absolutely return next time we are in the area!
