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 reviewWithin very comfortable walking distance to almost anything in edinburgh. Facilities were clean and nice. Loved the showers where you could lock the door instead of just a curtain. The sleeping pods helped with lowering noise. No waking up during the night due to others moving. Staff was super friendly.
Beds are a little hard and uncomfortable.

Verified reviewThe staff at the front reception are not only friendly but also welcoming, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere right from the moment you arrive.
The cleanliness of the toilet at night is somewhat less than during the day.

Verified reviewVery new and clean. The 8 persons female dorm I stayed in was very quiet and everyone was generally considerate and slept early. Hairdryers were provided. The pod offered sufficient privacy. Amazing location right beside St Giles Cathedral on the Royal Mile. I stayed in summer (end Aug) and there was air conditioning in the room.
USB C charging port inside my pod didn’t work.

Verified reviewStaff were so helpful, nothing was too much trouble! Luggage storage was 24/7, so perfect for early flights in and late flights out. Location was amazing, so close to everything. Rooms were comfortable and clean, locker was secure and easy to use, and bright and dimmer lights were available to use in each pod. Bathrooms were very clean also.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear you enjoyed our central location, clean facilities, and pod features, and that our team could make your stay stress-free. Great to know the 24/7 luggage storage was useful for your travel schedule too. We’d love to welcome you back anytime! Best regards, Austin – CoDE Hostel

Verified reviewGreat concept and very lovely Hostel experience with a bit more privacy than in an usual Hostel dorm
I had a pod in the basement, the only thing I could think of would be the lighting in the dorm itself could be optimized and maybe less doors with codes, but I do get that this part of the theme.
Thank you for your kind words! We’re delighted you enjoyed the concept of our pods and the extra privacy they provide compared to a usual hostel stay. Your feedback regarding the lighting in the dorm and the number of coded doors is very valuable — we’ll certainly take this into consideration as we keep improving both comfort and practicality for our guests. We hope to welcome you back for another lovely stay in Edinburgh! Best regards, Austin – CoDE Hostel

Verified reviewLocation was convenient (also very easy to find), the pods were comfortable, and the bathrooms were great.
The aircon turned off during the night (not sure if it was another guest or on a timer) but it gets unbelievably stuffy and hot during the summer
Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We’re pleased to hear you enjoyed our convenient location, comfortable pods, and well-kept bathrooms. We’re sorry, however, to learn about the issue with the air conditioning during the night — we understand how uncomfortable it can get when the rooms become too warm. We’ll review this with our team to ensure the system is more consistent, especially during summer months. Your feedback is very helpful, and we hope to welcome you back for a more comfortable stay next time. Best regards, Austin – CoDE Hostel
