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 KingdomWe only stayed 2 nights...
This was our second visit to the property and thoroughly enjoyed our return visit. The property is beautifully decorated and immaculate. Our room was spacious and very, very comfortable. Enjoyed the continental breakfast and also our morning chats with Martin who was charming and interested in our plans whilst visiting Edinburgh. Local bus services to/from the city run close by.

AustriaThe only small downside was that the coffee and tea supplies in the room were not refreshed during my 3 day stay. It would have been nice to have them replenished daily.
I had a wonderful stay at six Brunton place, the staff went above and beyond by allowing me to check in early at no extra cost; both ( lady and Martin ) were incredibly friendly.

AustraliaThere was nothing l didn't like however note there is no lift in this building.
A beautiful historic BnB located approx 15 minutes walk to Holyrood Palace and then the Royal Mile. Note it is a walk that has a constant incline up to Edinburgh Castle. We had the Garden room with direct access to a courtyard garden. Bed was very comfortable and room included a lovely sitting area with ensuite. Close to restaurant options(15 min walk). Breakfast was a continental breakfast with a nice selection of Granola Cereals Fruits Pastries and Toast. The room was large, quiet but down a staircase to the lower level. Check in was easy and our host was very friendly and approachable.

United KingdomOn a busy road, but when inside or out in the garden, you weren't aware of any traffic noise. Even in the breakfast room, your eyes were drawn to the trees across the road rather than the road or people walking by below, so not really a negative at all !
Friendly welcome and introduction to accommodation. Beautifully furnished and very comfortable. Fresh ingredients at breakfast served with smiles and light chat and a fantastic view of trees and the hillside. The location was so convenient for all areas of the city.

Beautiful old house in a quiet residential section of Edinburgh, easily accessible to all sections of the city. Lovely dining room breakfast. Comfortable room with every amenity, modern fixtures. Hilary was helpful in suggesting a walk up Calton Hill, with views of the city and helped me navigate to less-traveled areas.

IndiaNot an issue with the property, but if you are driving, parking in the area is difficult to find. We parked for a few mins to unload and went straight to return our rental.
We stayed in the garden room, and it was delightful! Large, well appointed and comfortable, with our own access to a shared garden. The hosts attention to detail was very apparent, and the room reflected this. Very centrally located, and a brisk walk to the royal mile. The included breakfast was delicious and the setting was immaculate. Felt very royal. Though i would have loved a hot course
