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 KingdomBathroom floor looking shabby, recurring smell of drains coming from the bathroom- very apparent on arrival. More crockery needed to avoid constant washing up.
Fantastic location. Right in the heart of things, yet still peaceful and quiet. Stylish decor, comfortable beds and sofas, kitchen well-stocked for utensils.

United StatesThere must be a problem with the water pressure that affects only the hot water. The shower, kitchen sink, and bathroom sink hot water came out of the faucets very, very slowly. Is this deliberate to limit the amount of hot water we could use?
We liked the central location and the lovely ambiance of the immediate neighborhood. Made us feel like we were living in Edinburgh, not just tourists.

United KingdomWe struggled to prepare home cooked meals due to the lack of pans, over trays and serving dishes. I realise most folks want to eat out, but we needed to eat in given two of our kids have coeliac disease. Just to let you know, there is a constant drip from the kitchen sink tap which we were unable to stop. It made sleeping in the main room a challenge through the night. And the firestick control needs new batteries. I hope this is helpful. Nothing is shared by way of criticism.
The location, cleanliness and comfort of the flat were excellent.

United KingdomThe parking is underground and very tight only suitable for a smaller car. The access to the car park is difficult as well. We weren’t told this until a couple of days before and had to change our plans. This would have been good to know when booking because by the time we had the information we were unable to cancel. We might have booked somewhere else more suitable had we known. We had clearly booked for 5 people and the host knew were were using the sofa bed but there was no window covering on the living room window. We had to find some make shift cover which kept falling down. No extra bedding or throws.
The apartment was in a great location , so close to centre of Edinburgh. Shower was good and plenty hot water, beds were very comfortable including the sofa bed. The accommodation was well laid out. Plenty of crockery and cutlery etc

GermanyIt is not that we didn’t like but mind to bring your own shampoos, we needed to buy washing sponges and cleaning lap for the dishes, but those are minor things compared with the rest, everything was very nice.
Very comfortable and well equipped apartment in a great neighborhood with everything you may need for a great stay. Smart tvs, fast and stable internet, well equipped kitchen, fully carpeted floors (sleeping rooms), comfortable sofa bed and a great shower! Professional management of the apartment with a very kind contact.

The cottage is spacious and comfortable for 4 people. The appliances and facilities are complete. It help us when we have to stay at the cottage because there is red warning of storm eowyn on Friday, January 24. The location is also good. Near to grassmarket square, stores and restaurants. Not to mention that we could see Edinburgh Castle from our front yard. Awesome! We definitely have a great day when we are in Edinburgh. Thank you.

United KingdomThe only things I would say weren't so great was that the bathroom had a somewhat unsavoury smell when we arrived, but we found an air freshener and that cleared right up. Also, when we went to use the kettle to make some tea, we found it was leaking so we decided not to use it. But those were the only things that could count against this place, and they were by no means deal breakers, which is why I've still chosen to rate everything as excellent.
I came to this property with three of my best friends to celebrate the youngest of us turning 30 this year, we were looking for a property big enough to sleep the four of us comfortably that was withing walking distance of the city centre, and we really couldn't have asked for a better place. Everything was wonderful when staying in this property. Check in instructions were clear and easy to follow, property was clean and well presented. Beds and bedding was beautifully comfortable, kitchen was well supplied, bathroom had a lovely modern look and a fabulous waterfall shower. Location was absolutely fantastic, couldn't be more central if it tried being a less than a minute from the Grassmarket and with a gorgeous view of Edinburgh castle from the front door. Additionally, the living room had a TV with streaming services installed which made it easy to spend an evening chilling in the apartment as well.

United KingdomEverything's great but I noticed that the window sills of the flat are a little mouldy. It doesn't bother me since we were only there for a few days. Otherwise the flat is very clean.
The location is superb and very central. Just moments away from Victoria street and the royal mile, with a splendid view of Edinburgh Castle. The flat is clean, tidy and feels like home away from home.

South AfricaIf you are going to use the garage, it is difficult to get in to. We had a family of 6 and rented a vehicle just for one night out. Our vehicle was almost too big to get in to the place. This is nothing that can change . But helps to know the limitations on size of vehicles.
Location was perfect, the place was very clean. Great directions to find the place. The place communicated with us before hand making things easy to get to.
