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 StatesI loved all parts of this property. As a heads up to others, there is no elevator; there are only stairs. But they are not steep and it’s only one flight.
This property is close to all the sites in Old Town — the Royal Mile, Victoria Street, Greyfriars Kirkyard, the Writer’s Museum, Deacon Brodie’s, the National Library of Scotland, and many of the venues for the August Fringe Festival. Our apartment was tastefully and beautifully furnished with a comfortable bed and a sofa. The kitchen has a small refrigerator and a dishwasher and stove. Bathroom is spacious. The fixtures and decor throughout the building are beautiful and current. There is a common laundry room with a washing machine and a dryer. The dryer fully dries your clothes, which was different than most dryers we encountered in the UK. The unit is self-service, meaning you use a code to access the building and your unit, but we found the owner very responsive by email, text, and WhatsApp. We were lucky enough to have Apartment 1, and it has a fabulous view of Edinburgh Castle from the window. Highly recommend. I can’t wait to stay here again, as it made our trip to Edinburgh special.

United KingdomNothing really, best accommodation I've been to so far!
Absolutely 10/10 accommodation. So clean and spacious, amazing convenient location. The cleaning ladies were friendly and welcoming. The fact that you can store luggage before check in is a great bonus. Would definitely recommend and revisit! There's practically a full kitchen in your room so it would work well for long term stays too!

United KingdomHowever, I must say that the bed was quite uncomfortable due to the old springs. Solving that would increase my score to 10/10.
The location was excellent and the flat very nice and clean. I recommend staying here.

United KingdomNothing! Really loved it
Absolutely loved this hotel. The location was perfect; you're right in the heart of the city yet the room was so quiet, with a stunning view of the castle, great amenities, super comfortable bed, etc. We truly cannot fault this hotel and would stay here again in a heartbeat. I know some didn't like not having a concierge, but we actually really appreciated the privacy, and staff could be reached almost immediately through the messaging platform.

AustraliaNo lift, could be a problem for older people or with very heavy bags. Very heavy internal doors - makes sense for winter but it would be good to have doorstops to keep them open if needed for children etc.
Very modern styled and clean with comfortable apartment facilities A . Great location centred on Royal Mile. A little cramped in the bedrooms but the living area was great. Responsive customer service.

United StatesEverything about our stay was wonderful. The staff were great--I went to call after my daughter with an umbrella but she had already gone out the front door. As if it happened in slow motion, I saw the apartment door close behind me and there I was...no shoes, no phone, no clue what the code was to my door. Much to my good fortune, ONE neighbor was in her apartment, but her phone couldn't make outgoing calls....she messaged my daughter who called the staff who called my neighbor with the code to my apartment.

United StatesLiving room was very good sized but master br was very small. Basically only queen sized bed. But not a big deal. The doors didn’t have door stops or any way to leave open so we were constantly opening and closing doors. This was explained as a Fire hazard issue. Again not a big deal but a minor annoyance for a family of 4.
Extremely clean and well maintained. Windows are double paned so no noise at all from street below. Beds, furniture all comfortable and seemed brand new. Coffeemaker, fridge, dishwasher, bathrooms, utensils all perfect. Very easy and clear to use the logins for both building and unit. Luggage storage very helpful. Staff was great.
