Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

AustraliaA little bit further to walk to the main attractions but it gave us plenty of exercise.
The room and hotel itself were beautifully appointed. It has a very nice bar and lounge area for relaxing. It also has a car park which we took advantage of.

Beautiful spacious room with long views over Edinburgh to Leith. Secure car park. Great breakfast. Helpful staff. Great location. The hotel is filled with original works of art, chandeliers and Tiffany lamps from the Richard Driehaus collection which makes it feel pretty special.

United States of AmericaThe ambience of relaxed splendor not overdone or stuffy.
So charming and perfect for a small wedding! The bride and groom were the happiest I’ve ever seen and the staff, room flips, decor, food was all wonderful! We enjoyed a delicious afternoon tea at the restaurant …without reservations it’s difficult to get in but due to a cancelation we were graciously accommodated . Our biggest regret…. Not staying at the Bonham longer!!

United States of AmericaUnfortunately, the water pipes created a shrill squeal whenever someone used the plumbing. Loud enough to wake us up and although we appreciate the age of the property, the fairly recent renovations should have fixed the problem, especially at the price.
Classic townhouse hotel with beautiful details and design.

SingaporeRoom was cold but staff brought a portable heater which helped to warm the room up. Toilet was spacious but bath tub was small and shower screen only covered about 1/3 so toilet floors always wet after shower.
Hotel was tastefully decorated with fine art pieces. Luxurious and very comfortable. Room and toilet was spacious. Location was quiet and located about 15mins walk to city. Sadly, room didn't come with breakfast so didn't get to try their spreas. Breakfast is charged at 26pounds per pax. Hotel has limited parking space behind but not crowded and cost 20pounds per day.

Impeccable The service stellar ! Best hotel and staff . The meals were wonderful. I am considering hosting my retreat group here next May 2025. The location was within walking distance of St Mary's cathedral, which took my breath away as well as other sites. I stayed an extra night and received a phenomenal upgraded room with a beautiful view. Loved it all!

This is a special place to stay. It’s in the elegant crescent of the Georgian town houses. When we arrived, we were instantly wrapped in luxurious atmosphere. It may be a bit far from the central Edinburgh, but actually it is an easy walking distance. We enjoyed staying in this lavishly and tastefully furnished hotel. Both restaurant and bar were very good, too. We will definitely go back there next time we go to Edinburgh.

LatviaThe only bad thing that comes in mind is that there was no closet in the room where we could hang our clothes so we had to put everything on chairs.
Very clean. Great staff. Nice drinks. Great breakfast! Great location! Overall really good experience. The staff provided us with late-checkout for free, because we needed some extra sleep.

MexicoService in bar area, at times very slow, and did not match the friendliness of the front office. Could be more pro active with greeting guests and acknowledging their presence, even if busy, a recognition is always appreciated. Tables slow to be cleared while eating.
Front desk staff were fabulous. Told us a lot about the history of the property.
