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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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.).

BelgiumWe didn't like the fact we couldn't get in the champaign bar for a little drink because we didn't make a reservation, although there were many free tables. Not really customer friendly.
Everything was perfect, the facilities and especially the location, right in the middle of everything although very quiet!

The breakfast was great, the rooms were modern and clean. The location could not have been better. The stay was more luxurious than I had expected. The staff were lovely and the check in process was easy. Very accessible to public transport links, notably the train station.

United KingdomThe room was a touch small, and, were we staying more than 2 nights, we would have started to feel that. Even taking the location into account, it's not a cheap stay.
Tucked in an excellent location next to Waverly Station, Market Street Hotel offers modern lodging with spectacular views of Calton Hill and the Scott Monumnet, in easy reach of the Royal Mile. Extremely comfortable beds (great pillows), well-appointed, and comfortable, our room was lovely. The shower had excellent water pressure.

IndiaNothing not to like but they could include breakfast within the room price. No reason not to.
The Location is amazing, literally opposite Edinburgh waverly station. Beautiful room with fantastic amenities, a very helpful space for changing and keeping the luggage, wonderful bed and a functional TV. Loved everything about the room in this hotel. Even their rooftop space was fantastic with splendid views and the coffee machine/capsules in the room were a bonus too.

United StatesThe view was negligible. The room was on the 2nd floor (3rd floor for Americans) but the view could only be seen by looking up. There was also some garbage that had been thrown down in the area of the view. Also, many of the offered TV channels were not in fact available.
The room was sleek and clean. The bed was very comfortable, the mini-bar was free (!!), the rain shower was fantastic. The room also contained a refrigerator, coffee maker, hot water maker, and a few sweets. The tech was also very good (casting to tv, wifi) and a very cute Roberts radio with bluetooth.

United KingdomThe room was generally great, not that big but given that the location smack in the centre it was fine. Bigger than a budget hotel. The only gripe was that the bathroom had underfloor heating which was set far too hot and there was no way of turning it off. We normally love underfloor heating but it was too much, and we somewhat ridiculously needed the aircon on in the room to counteract it. We informed reception but there didn't seem to be anything they could do about it, no settings they could alter either. Fix that one thing, and all good.
Fabulous location for those (like us) travelling by train. I think 25m from the entrance to Waverley station? And unlike other cities, the station is in the nice historic part. Walk out the door of the hotel and head straight up to the stairs (there are lots in Edinburgh!) to the Royal Mile and castle above you. Really great.
