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.).

The staff were very friendly and let us into our room at 9:30 am after travelling for 30 hrs from NZ when we thought they would only hold our bags for us. Bed was comfortable, shower was great and location excellent.

United KingdomWas a little disappointed being placed on the first floor looking out over an alley and a row of bins. I guess sometimes it's just the luck of it, but we had nicer outlooks on our previous visits.
Really great stay again at The Resident, our third time this year! Rooms are lovely, nice facilities and it's got a cosy vibe. Super clean as expected, comfortable bed and furnishings. Well stocked little kitchen area too. Enjoyed the free 5-6pm drink, and the staff were, as always, really lovely to interact with.

United KingdomNothing at all.
The welcome we received from reception (Ed…???) was exceptional - he provided all the details we needed for our stay in an incredibly warm manner. Our room was spotlessly clean, and well appointed. As it was our 10th wedding anniversary, there was a hand-written congratulations card on the table, along with a couple of chocolates - we were also given a corner, castle view room. Lovely touches.

United StatesIndoor air was too warm and humid. Air conditioning is marginal. Common areas were uncomfortably warm. Washcloths are not a thing in Scotland I guess.
King bed Room was compact, but had all the essentials. Kitchenette was perfect! Fragrant high quality toiletries were lovely! Dressing table was wonderful! Staff are professional, welcoming and courteous. Appreciated safe, hotel security. Bedding was basic, but nice. Beds were comfortable. Hotel was pristine clean.

United KingdomExcellent location, within a stroll from Princes Street but yet away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Lots of quality cafes serving excellent food just around the corner. In the hotel, the lounge area is cosy and welcoming. Complimentary evening drinks were a nice touch. But above all, the staff are friendly, smiling and helpful. They add the charm to this lovely hotel. Thank you!
