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 KingdomWhilst the hotel is just as fabulous as our last visit the service was not quite the same. I’m not sure if it was perhaps a bit short staffed. We have always received complimentary champagne in our suite or room but this was missing this time. This did not spoil our stay it was just something we noted.
We love Prestonfield and revisited for our Anniversary. We had a lovely time. The food was superb and the suite was fabulous.

RussiaThe service in the Rhubarb restaurant leaves a lot to be desired. We were waiting for the service for 30 minutes. The waiters were not attentive at all.
Prestonfield house is a really unique place to stay. The atmosphere, the style, nature around — we were impressed.

Everything!! Prestonfield is MAGIC. The beauty of the property, the service, all of it is next level. I have stayed there twice and will only stay here in Edinburgh. There really are no words to explain how amazing this place is, you have to actually experience it.

United StatesThe bed was noted to me as “antique.” I could feel the springs when I passed my hand over the bed and it overall it was very hard bed. If you like hard beds you’ll love it, but I’m more of a soft bed person. The shower water temperature oscillated quite a bit which was very difficult during shower times.
The staff at Prestonfield are 10/10. They knew us despite us only staying a few nights and were incredibly kind and helpful. The Rhubard restaurant exceeded my expectations. The ingredients are so fresh that I doubt that I can get the same taste for some dishes anywhere else. The location is a short 10 minute drive from the center of the city and completely quiet at night except for when they have events. The decor is really lovely and I loved the house cat and 3 cows!

Czech RepublicThe accommodation at Prestonfield House and the quality of service is out of this world. From the rooms, decor, setting and grounds to the quality of the service, food and staff, I would say a rating of 10/10 is too low. My girlfriend and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay and it will go down as a special moment in our memories. And we are definitely planning to return.

United KingdomThere weren't more cats, ha ,we had the pleasure meeting and beautiful black cat we came with us on the first night walking around as if you are into photography is stunning at night-time. Other than the fact we wish there were more cats, we have nothing to say negative what so ever .
Prestonfield house was found completely by accident, but what an accident, just the grounds alone are stunning, my only regret is that I didn't come in the summer or spring time , which me and my partner plan to do, the staff are acceptinally polite and as a same set couple we was made to feel very welcoming and comfortable, so thank to the staff for this, this beautiful stay is highly recommended for a beautiful get away or just somewhere to relax, again myself and my partner thank you, for allowing us to feel comfortable. Also, may I add that the bed was acceptinally comfortable we had an amazing night's sleep.

The amenities in our room were replenished twice a day including complimentary chocolates, cookies, water and crisps. It is the only place to stay in Edinburgh and is close to public transport too.
