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...).

FinlandA mini fridge in the room would be nice
Great location, helpful staff and a decent sized room with a comfortable bed. Felt very at home my whole stay and would 100% recommend the hotel for a solo traveller who enjoys having their own space.

United KingdomVery minor but there were a couple of dinks on the wall - probably people knocking their cases around.
Gorgeous room with stylish ensuite. The location of the townhouse was perfect, lots of amazing places to eat and drink nearby plus very quick into Edinburgh. The host was so warm and friendly, she gave us some great recommendations. It was convenient to have a pin code rather than a key to access. Would love to stay again.

United KingdomI didn't book a long enough stay.
From start to finish I had an excellent experience. Helpful, informative initial messages with the option of a secure luggage store prior to check in but when I arrived to drop off my luggage my room was ready early for me to check in. Lovely thoughtful touches including cold bottled water as well as Laura Thomas Co Forest bathroom range. Slept so well on a Hypnos mattress with a hot water high pressure shower and spotlessly clean. Walking distance to bars, restaurants and coffee shop but quiet residential area. Look forward to a return visit.

SwitzerlandThere is no way to store your luggage apart from between 11:00 and 15:00. I would not have expected this from a hotel of this sort and at this price. I really think this would make the stay smoother as we had to run to the train station to the lockers there for 15 pounds per bag for a few hours, before heading into town and then back to the train station before our flight.
The managers of the property were very welcoming and helpful!

AustriaSome spots on the shower tray and on the walls in the bathroom. The faucets are close to the sink making it difficult to fit your hands under the stream of water. Noise from passing cars in the street was loud.
Nice and good sized room in a good location.

United KingdomThe sofa bed was probably slightly too small for our two kids to share now they are getting older. Younger ones would be fine! We were a bit chilly on the first evening as our space was on the lower ground floor however, there were 2 plug in radiators there so that was ok.
It was very quiet in the accommodation and just inside the building entrance was an honesty tray of drinks that welcomed you. We didn’t have one but appreciate the offer! There was a kettle and plenty of tea/coffee/hot chocolate sachets, biscuits and Tunnock treats. The shower was powerful and hot. There were 2 big TV’s, one in the lounge and one in the bedroom. They had all the channels including Netflix. There was a large space for clothes and luggage cases in the bedroom. On checking out we were offered to keep our luggage in the office for the day which was really kind and helpful.

United KingdomFrom the moment we booked the Broughton Townhouse, Karen was welcoming and responsive to messages. She advised us of free parking in the surrounding streets on weekends and recommended where to visit and eat. On arrival, there was a selection of beverages to help yourself to (being respectful to other guests) as well as snacks and water. The room was great value for money, slightly dated but clean, and plenty of charm. The rooms were very easy to access with a code and the location was ideal for getting to the playhouse and waverly station with some wonderful restaurants and bars close by. We will chose this again on our next trip to Edinburgh.

United KingdomThis stay is on the more expensive side, so perhaps bathroom facilities could be updated, ie shower that doesn't have to be hand held, even over a bath?
No breakfast. I ended up liking having what felt like private access in and out, via keypad. It was refreshingly different to a hotel. I liked the decor. And architectural design of the property. It was nice to be offered drinks gratis in the entrance.

AustriaThe room is quite small, which was clearly stated from the beginning and didn’t bother me personally. However, some people might find it uncomfortable. There was also a very strong room fragrance used, so we had to fully open the window for a while to air it out.
A very cute place with a friendly host. The room is cozy and clean. The sound insulation isn’t perfect, but since there aren’t many people in the townhouse, it usually isn’t a problem - unless you’re especially unlucky. There’s no elevator, but our luggage was kindly carried upstairs, which was very thoughtful. We also arrived before the official check-in time, and they cleaned our room faster so that we could check in earlier. Much appreciated!
