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.).

United KingdomQuite a distance from Edinburgh centre (you could catch the train) and the mod cons were a bit too mod. Who needs automatic toilet light to wake you up during your middle of the night toilet break ? And merely working the lights needed a degree in engineering. Stick to switches I’d say. The sash windows were also a little tricky to open. Lots of steps up so not good for those not fully mobile.
Beautiful Georgian property with all mod cons and feeling very smart. Little kitchenette and fridge were very useful. Lovely part of town and very very peaceful with no noise at all to keep you awake.

United KingdomIt is a new built block of flats and as such, the rooms are on the small side. You cannot walk comfortably around the bed in the second bedroom - it is too narrow. There was only room for hanging stuff in the wardrobe, so we just used the second bedroom as a dressing room with our cases on the bed.
The view really is exceptional and wonderful! We had all the things we needed and the provided soaps smelled really nice. We loved having the train line running between us an Arthur's Seat, it was an unexpected delight. It is only a short walk to the Royal Mile and the city centre. There are loads of cafes on the main road nearby. The Sainsbury's across the street is really convenient too.

United KingdomHeatwave in the city but we were provided with coolers.
I was travelling for work and chose to stay at Bonnie Hotel again. On my previous visit I stayed in one of the Executive Suites, but this time I decided to try the Suite with high ceilings. I was delighted with the experience—the high ceilings, grand chandeliers, and big windows made the room feel wonderfully spacious and elegant. The décor throughout was excellent, and it maintained the same high quality I’ve come to know from even the smaller rooms here. I really enjoyed the sense of space and style in the Suite, and I’ll definitely be coming back to try out the other suites in the hotel.

United KingdomWe would book ground floor next time given my age, this room was on 2nd floor, although the top copula was grand.
My wife and I had a wonderful stay in the Executive Suite at Bonnie Hotel. We're getting on in years, so comfort really matters—and this suite was wonderfully cosy. My wife has scoliosis and is particularly sensitive about mattresses, but the bed here was exceptional and exceeded her expectations completely. We especially enjoyed the little kitchenette nook—very convenient for our needs. The boutique colours and tasteful decor made the suite feel incredibly homely. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would happily return.

CanadaMy stay was handled entirely online, which was convenient, but there were several serious issues. On the first night, an alarm was triggered and no staff arrived for approximately 20 minutes, leaving me waiting outside. On the last night, a pipe burst, causing flooding in several rooms and a power outage in mine. I was told I would receive a refund for that night, but despite following up, I never received it and eventually got no response at all. Additionally, the room was extremely small and not as expected.
Location was great

United StatesMy check in was frustrating as the code I was given didn’t work. Fortunately, there was someone there who could let me in and change the code so I could get in my room. There is no staff on site so if you have any issues, you have to call.
The location was convenient. When I booked my room, it said “suite with a city view” but what I got was a minuscule but lovely room with a view of a dumpster and alley. The home itself is beautiful.

IndiaAn exceptional stay at Bonnie Hotel’s King Suite! I was visiting Edinburgh for work, speaking at a major conference, and chose to bring my family along. I needed a place that would not only allow me to prepare professionally but also provide relaxation and comfort for my family. This suite did exactly that and much more. The suite was truly luxurious, beautifully designed, and instantly impressive. Upon entering, we were struck by the grandeur of not just one but three magnificent chandeliers, perfectly complementing the suite’s elegant decor. The huge windows filled the space with natural light and provided lovely city views, creating a perfect blend of grandeur and comfort. Every detail was carefully thought through: the bed was exceptionally comfortable, ensuring I had restful sleep each night before my speeches. Having a fully-equipped kitchenette was incredibly helpful, allowing us to easily prepare quick meals and snacks—especially convenient with a teenager who seemed constantly hungry! The provided iron and ironing board ensured my clothes were always conference-ready, and my mornings were made brighter by the high-quality espresso from the in-room coffee machine. My family loved the luxurious touches and spacious feel, particularly appreciated the stylish interior. Thank you, Bonnie Hotel, for making my business trip feel like a relaxing family retreat. Highly recommended for anyone seeking elegance, convenience, and comfort all in one.

My partner and I stayed in the Junior Suite for a romantic fringe getaway, it was simply divine. Everything in the hotel is eligant and considered. The suite had such charm - French flooring, decor and comfortable bed, all thoughtful amenities made it feel very special. We had lovely time together, perfect escape for a city centre getaway.

United KingdomThe only thing I didn’t like was having to leave so soon. I really wished I could’ve stayed longer!
I just stayed at Bonnie Hotel and it was amazing The room was really spacious and clean, and I loved how everything was so high-tech. I could unlock my door with my phone and control the lights and blinds from a tablet in the room. The location is perfect, just a short walk from the train station and all the main sights in Edinburgh. The staff were super helpful whenever I needed anything through the hotel app. The building itself is beautiful, you can tell it's historic but with all the modern touches you want. Definitely worth the money and l'd stay here again when I'm back in Edinburgh!

Stayed for one night at Bonnie Hotel while in Edinburgh on business. My colleague and I each had a Single Room—both were exactly as advertised, neat and efficiently laid out. Particularly appreciated the comfort of the bed and the convenient central location. Ideal choice for business visits—straightforward, practical with low carbon footprint.

United KingdomThe hotel was so delightful, I found myself reluctant to leave and nearly missed the party—honestly, terribly inconsiderate of Bonnie to be so utterly charming (the bed ;)))
What an absolutely smashing stay at Bonnie Hotel's Executive Dormer Suite—my new go-to when visiting Edinburgh! I was in town for my best friend's birthday bash, and being a bit particular about my diet, the kitchenette was a right lifesaver, perfect for whipping up my own bits and bobs. After a lovely day celebrating, the sparkling wine from the minibar was a marvellous treat—cheers indeed! Everything felt delightfully posh, especially with those automated blinds and the swish smart touch screen controls; very James Bond meets Downtown Abbey! The bed was gloriously comfy, and that fabulous headboard felt like a proper indulgence. Loved that I could unwind by streaming my own favourite shows straight onto the telly. All brand-new, high-spec, and rather fancy—I shan’t be booking anywhere else for my Edinburgh stays. Highly recommended, darlings!

Had a fantastic stay at Bonnie Hotel in their Single Room. The room was exactly as described and shown in the pictures—compact yet extremely comfortable, with an excellent 30-inch bed. It was genuinely the best night's sleep I've had before attending a busy conference day. Ideal spot for solo business travellers who need restful sleep, convenience, and comfort. Highly recommend!
