Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United StatesThis has a lovely location next to the relaxing botanic gardens where locals stroll and relax. the local neighborhood of Stockbridge is quite pleasant, a pleasure to walk through and a few excellent restaurants. The only thing to be aware of is the walk, just over a mile to the royal mile. Be prepared to grab a taxi or uber if you re not up to extending your walking time. Our host, Sally was gracious and timely with requests.

United StatesSally's place was SO lovely - truly better than the photos! We had such a relaxing time there, and Sally herself was so friendly and welcoming. We had just gotten engaged on the trip and she left a sweet note and prosecco to celebrate. I'll be thinking about our time at the Garden Rooms often :) The outdoor tub was so relaxing and aesthetic! 10/10 can't wait to go back. Thank you Sally!

United KingdomI would say the only few nit picks I have about the property is there wasn’t a decent sized plate! Could benefit from a new Crockery set with larger plates or I just need to cook smaller portions not sure which! Tongs for the kitchen and bigger & softer luxurious towels! But that’s just me! Other than that it was amazing!
Loved pretty much everything about the property! The fact its location was just a short walk to the centre, it was also great to have the choice of sitting outdoor with our own private area too!

United KingdomNothing! Apart from the weather!!! Oh - actually some hanging space would have been good as we had wedding attire with us
Comfortable and very well equipped. A beautifully converted place to stay that clearly has been given lots of thought. It was very convenient - easy for for us to walk to a wedding in central Edinburgh, yet very quiet and nice to wander into the Botanic Gardens on both days. Easy to park outside too.

New ZealandI have nothing negative to say at all about this property.
This is by far one of the most beautiful little spots you could stay in Edinburgh. The Host is very organised and friendly. The size of the place for what you pay is outstanding and everything from the bedding to the mugs are high quality. I was so impressed with the place that I decided to propose to my partner in the garden area. It’s a short Uber from town and right next to the botanical gardens. I cannot recommend this place more.

United KingdomWe can't think of anything, we loved our stay
It was the little touches for us, the irn bru and the milk in the fridge, snacks and coffee, even a dram of whisky! Very comfortable bed, clean and neat surroundings. The garden was beautiful, lots of ambience and chill vibes, especially the outdoor bath which was needed after a long day spent walking around Edinburgh. Very private, felt like we were miles away despite being in the middle of a city. The shower was amazing and a very nice clean bathroom with all the amenities provided. Also the TV was great, virgin box set with all the channels and apps with access to netflix etc, with amazing internet speeds too. Overall the accommodation exceeded our expectations and we would definitely return again should we re visit Edinburgh. The host was lovely and provided a very in depth and detailed welcome pack, with all the information for everything we needed. If you're looking for somewhere intimate and romantic to stay in Edinburgh, the garden rooms is the place for you!

United StatesA shelf for one's shampoo in the shower? (Just kidding).
Amazing location (we love the Botanical Gardens) and unique garden layout. It fulfills a Japanese design idea of erasing the boundary between indoors and outdoors. The whole effect was relaxing and exhilarating at the same time. The garden was laid out beautifully with effective lighting.

United KingdomNothing not to like.
My Fiancé and I booked the Garden Rooms as a little getaway to celebrate our anniversary and my birthday. We absolutely loved our stay. The room and garden were perfect, so quiet and peaceful. The room was spotless. And the Garden looks beautiful with the lights on at night. Sally left everything we needed for the weekend, including a welcome package, beverages, and whiskey. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and will return again on our next trip to Edinburgh.

Great location, right next to the botanic gardens which are well worth a visit and a short but strenuous walk to the centre of the city. The room was clean, comfortable and had everything we needed for a great stay. The communication from the host was excellent, they made us feel very welcome. Lots of lovely extra touches, we enjoyed sampling the whisky and irn bru. Would not hesitate to stay again.
