How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewSpacious and clean little private pod for sleeping. Small rooms so not too many people back and forth. Take earplugs. Allow yourself time to receive the confirmation emails and check in, so you receive your entry codes and can simply let yourself in.
No issues

Verified reviewIt was simple and clean - nice central location. Was ideal place to stay while spending some time visiting Edinburgh
Quite a small shared toilet/bathroom area, although I wouldn't have expected much more, and not a big a issue really

Verified reviewCompact and clean
Location is quite noisy. I would advise guests to remember their ear plugs. The absence of a lift is also an issue if you have a heavy suitcase. The young man on duty did offer to carry mine up two flights of stairs, though.

Verified reviewGreat location and close to train station and principal attractions in the city.
Very limited espace, especially in the toilet area where there were only 1 basin for 10 people, and it was not cleaned properly.

Verified reviewLocation in New Town was great for restaurants and shopping. Close to train station. The pods were comfy and clean. Showers were clean. It was quiet.
Slight problem upon arrival our family booking of 3-in a 4 pod room. At first reception said we could not be together in one room and then with some persistence somehow they were able to get us into the one room.

Verified reviewThe beds were larger and more comfortable than expected and the shower room was clean. Conveniently located wherever you want to go.
Guests from the nice pub next door sometimes fight in the street in the middle of the night 🥺.

Verified reviewGreat location, lovely staff. Bathroom revolting - I forgot to put shoes on to shower and I now have tinea ☹️
Room needs more ventilation. I also received conflicting information from staff regarding luggage storage and that caused unnecessary last minute stress.

When I arrived someone else had taken the bed that was assigned to me. Thankfully the manager was very helpful and sent a member of staff to rectify

Verified reviewLocation was excellent. Just off Rose Street within a 5-10 minute walk of Princes Street and the Station, with easy access to the historical part of Edinburgh. Facilities were excellent with individual coded lockers in the dorms and appropriate ambient lighting so you can see without waking everyone up. Staff were friendly and efficient, even out of hours using the dedicated line (witnessed another guest calling it because she couldn't find the confirmation e-mail and they sorted her problem)
The codes on the dorm lockers could do with having their volume adjusted (way too loud) and the water doesn't flow out of the showers quickly enough, leading to sock gunk and hair accumulating on the shower tray for the next guest (can't be rinsed because the shower heads are the fixed overhead type). One thing I would suggest, for the safety of guests and property, is staff may want to be more careful with regards to disclosing guests' codes in the presence of other guests. My own code was repeated back to me within earshot of another guest when I had a problem with it, and I heard the code of another guest being repeated back to her when she was clearly trying to be cautious by.showing it to staff on a piece of paper (I was standing right behind)...
