How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

I was staying for 8 days and although I loved the quirky, cool aesthetics it was rather impractical having 4 hangers for my whole trip and no other storage.
Perfect location for helping my daughter and new granddaughter. The rooms were clean, comfy and quiet. Perfect for my needs.

I would have appreciated more variety at breakfast but this is a minor point.
Stayed here during one of the busiest months, August, when all Festivals are taking place in Edinburg. There's always a lively vibe walking in, as the reception is also the bar/hangout area. The breakfast is also served here in the mornings, and it was a fresh selection every day (selection was good - although not too extensive). The bed is comfy - rooms aren't enormously large but large enough and they are well sound proofed making for comfortable restful sleep. Good location as well.

No Parking . Breakfast quality is poor and options are limited.
The location near the city center and few supermarkets Hanks across the street is a good sandwich shop and there's also a bakery and coffee shop next door.

Our kettle had been burnt on the inside from a previous guest (I am guessing) so when we came to boil water for tea in the morning it stunk out our room and meant we couldn’t make any hot drinks. The staff said they would take it on board but offered nothing to compensate.
Very comfortable rooms and facilities.

The breakfast was a bit of a letdown—buffet style, but the food felt stale and just wasn’t up to much. In a city like Edinburgh, with so many great places to eat, I’d recommend skipping it and heading out for breakfast instead, especially for the price.
Stayed at the Moxy for Oasis and loved every second! The hotel’s funky vibe hit you the moment you walked in, and the staff couldn’t have been more welcoming or helpful. They went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable, and that welcome cocktail? Absolute perfection—such a fun way to kick things off!

The room used to store the luggage is not secure and you do not get a tag for your bags, which made me a but uncomfortable. The hotel is located pretty far from the old town, approx 20-30 min walk.
We liked Moxy hotel, the room was comfortable, nice modern Scandinavian design, you get all that you need. The lobby area is nice with the bar and different games you can play when you get back from the long walks in the city.

Breakfast time was pretty chaotic around the 8:30 to 9:30 peak time. There always seemed to be something that had run out, either coffee, or cups, or teaspoons, or plates, or bread rolls etc …
Generally there was a good variety of food available

The member of staff on the bar was from an agency so wasn't allowed to use the till, so whenever you went for a drink you had to wait for another member of staff to come before you could pay, also he didn't know how to make a mocktail on the menu so had to get another member of staff
The room was very clean and comfortable
