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.).

MalaysiaI thought parking was complementary. One of the reasons I chose this property. But there is a per day charge.
Beautiful property. Lovely room and a great bar and restaurant. A long walk to the royal mile though.

United KingdomOur room was located next to the lift and it did wake us up in the night. We were only there 2 nights so didn’t feel the need to ask for a move.
Exceptional hotel. Beautiful building that has been upgraded but kept in original style. The staff provide that 5 star experience. So helpful and welcoming. Food and drinks are top notch.

Hong KongThe Bonham Hotel was the perfect place to end our trip in Edinburgh. The location is absolutely ideal, allowing easy access to many of the city’s attractions and lively neighbourhoods and the staff were exceptionally friendly and welcoming, making us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. Our room was incredibly spacious and beautifully designed, with high-quality facilities that made our stay both comfortable and luxurious. Overall, The Bonham exceeded our expectations in every way, and it was truly a memorable conclusion to our journey. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Edinburgh!

United StatesThere isn't much to not to like at the Bonham. Even though the elevator was a Euro sized the stairs were lovely.
Room was nice and spacious, well appointed and had a beautiful view. The breakfast was good and provided both continental breakfast and an ala cart menu. The bar was old style fancy. A beautiful environment for a drink before going out.

Best breakfast. Staff was so friendly and helpful, especially Emily, who made us look forward to every breakfast. They provided daily cleaning. Sparkling clean areas and sit out rooms, bar. We had really good feelings here, and the location was approximate to every key place. The room was equipped with every amenities you can think of, including the very basic ones. We are definitely coming back soon.

SingaporeNone. I hope shower box had water pressure like bath tub..
We had the room with beautiful view overlooking the Dean Village greens & river. The room was clean and specious, nicely decorated, the bed was comfortable, the bathroom kept in original design which maybe not so convenient but we thought it is lovely imagining the past history of the building. Those complimentary coffee/tea and daily cute snacks we found in the room made our stay relaxing and comfortable. We enjoyed our breakfast in the restaurant, the beautiful dining room. Thank you for your warm hospitality.

United KingdomOur room was lovely. Coffee machine and kettle for making tea, mini fridge with a bottle of complimentary water and milk. Bed was remade every day and towels folded neatly in bathroom. There was an iron and ironing board, plenty of coat hangers in wardrobe, sewing kit, shoe polisher, toiletries, hairdryer, a comfy chair and stool, table and dressing table and chair. A small bag of biscuits were placed on the bed and a small chocolate square on both pillows every morning after that when room was cleaned. On arrival staff very pleasant and a porter took our luggage up to our room on a luggage trolley. Breakfast was 7.30 til 10.30 which is ample time and the service is excellent. You are made to feel special. The hotel has kept its traditional style and very tastefully decorated. It definitely deserves its five stars. There is parking charged at £20 per day.
