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.).

SpainThe bed wasn’t really big enough for two people. The only other issue really was the whole hallway could hear everything that happened outside the rooms when people went to the bathroom or the kitchen.
It was pretty good value for money in general.

CroatiaThe fact that we didn't get two room keys, so it was a bit difficult to arrange going out separately because the key opens even the outside doors, so without the room key you cannot enter the building. The cleaning of the bathroom should be a bit often, or at least there should be some supplies so we can maintain it ourselves regularly.
Great staff, extremely helpful. Whatever we were asking for they searched online and they gave us the right informations. The kitchen is nice with all the devices needed.

Good value for money, considering how expensive accommodation is in Edinburgh. It was very clean, despite the fact that we had to share bathroom and kitchen with other rooms. The location is very good, close to Edinburgh castle and other places of interest. Very helpful staff.. All and all a basic but decent accommodation.

Austria-The key card system for the doors is a little buggy and we’ve seen a few people get locked out of their rooms because their keycards or the locks on the doors malfunction (so… never go to the bathroom stark naked) -The kitchen (at least in block B, where we lived) was practically useless: apart from the fact that the entire room reeked very intensely of plastic, the microwave was pretty filthy, the stove had a security system on it that would randomly turn it off when it “overheated” (aka if you tried to boil pasta water) and it would take an annoying 5 minutes until you could turn it back on. -There’s around 5 glasses, cups and plates and 3 sets of cutlery for the whole kitchen, sooo if there’s more people staying in your shared apartment, it’ll be “first come first serve” :) -Lastly, and I see that this might not be problematic if you stayed here for an extended period of time and bought your own things, the kitchen comes entirely unequipped. There’ll be no salt, no oil, no dishtowels, just 1 pot and 1 pan. Usually, hostels will have at least some basics or leftovers from previous guests lying around. My recommendation here would be Tesco’s and Sainsbury’s Meal Deals (warm ones, with pre-cooked mashed potatoes or soups to warm up in the microwave).
Area is safe and extremely close to the city center (10min walk to get to the main touristy area) Staff are all very respectful, friendly and supportive Rooms are small and contain only the bare necessities (for hostel standards pretty decent, though!) and everything is pretty clean (again… for hostel standards!)
