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.).

GreeceI loved the style of the hotel. It is charmingly Scottish with its plaid decor. The staff were extremely helpful and friendly, always inquiring about our comfort and satisfaction. My favorite was the guest services department, with whom I spent quite a bit of time communicating with before our arrival. They assisted me with planning and organizing our trip to our specific needs. I highly recommend this hotel.

United StatesIt is fairly expensive so I was a little surprised that things like coffee and breakfast were not included.
Everything about this property is top notch. The location is perfect, the service impeccable, rooms are lovely, beds are super comfortable, nice fluffy towels, towel warmers, heated bathroom floors….the whole nine yards. It really feels like you are a royal guest!

United StatesMy one complaint would be about the beds. It’s a small hotel so to accommodate different room configurations they join twin beds together w a bed joiner. This isn’t a problem but they need to do a better job of covering that strip. Trust me I had zero problems sleeping. I hesitate to even include this as it’s picky. I’m sure they would have fixed that issue had I brought it to their attention. I will 100% return.
100 Princes st is a gem! It is absolutely beautiful. The staff is extraordinary. It belongs in the 9.5-10 category. We stayed 5 days and I didn’t want to leave, they were so accommodating and just lovely. There are so many small and large luxuries. Please order a whisky sour from the beautiful bar on your way to dinner, it is the best! I would not stay anywhere else in Edinburgh

United Kingdomour only criticism was the tables at which breakfast was served - we could not sit up to s was so low and unable to put feet under table because of the design and was very uncomfortable to eat a meal I asked to be moved but could not be offered an alternative - given the very high quality of the hotel and the excellent staff this was disappointing and should be addressed.
staff were exceptionally polite attentive and kind
