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.).

Pre booked breakfast set us up for the day with an early start for the bus to the city centre, ready for a day visiting the fringe, international festival and the Tattoo.

AustraliaThere are a lot of stairs that can be difficult with a heavy suit case (my own fault!).
I stayed at this little gem during the Festival in August 2024. The location is in a quiet, tree lined street, away from the festival crowds but a short bus ride or easy half-hour walk into town. The small but comfortable and clean single room was well appointed and had a lovely ensuite bathroom. The continental breakfast I ordered was just what I needed to start the very busy, fun festival days and was promptly delivered by Stuart with a friendly “Good Morning”. Hosts Kathryn and Stuart were very helpful, friendly and attentive but not intrusive. I highly recommend Falcon Crest Guest House and would stay here again should I find myself in Edinburgh at the best time of year to visit - the festival, it’s so much fun!

South AfricaThe Guest House is located on a street lined with gorgeous old homes. Getting there from various bus stations and walking down the road surrounded by the type of buildings that people travel to Edinburgh for sets up the perfect start to a holiday. Kathryn was an incredible hostess who offered helpful travel tips and great chat. The room was impeccably clean and all the information about the stay was neatly laid out in writing (as someone who likes instructions this was a major bonus). The bed was incredibly comfortable and the window seating allowed me to stare out the window and enjoy the views of the neighbourhood.

AustriaEverything was according to our expectations. Thank you very much.
As other guests have already described, the breakfast was very tasty and you could choose what you wanted to have the next day. The hosts were also extremely charming and polite. We particularly appreciated the fact that check-in and check-out were so easy, even though our arrival and departure times were not particularly convenient. We liked the location close to the sea and the botanical gardens.

The rooms are clean and equipped with everything you need for your stay. They also had a kettle, tea, coffee, sugar and shortbread biscuits in the room and fresh milk was also provided. The location is fantastic with easy access to public transportation and the neighborhood is residential and quiet.
