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.).

DenmarkFirst of all! I booked 4 people for 4 days. The day before arrival ALTIDO asked if we wanted bed linned for the sofabed, it was 25£ extra!!!!! So when we arrived we had to make the sofa bed our self 🥺 It said that the bed was extra large and that is not true and the sofabed was very hard to sleep on 😑 No kitchen paper at arrival! And you have to take your own garbage out to the container bin when depature. So we will not use ALTIDO again! And there was 2 pc of coffee and no thé in the ‘welcome box´ at arrival 😑
Apparment was big and great!

United KingdomWe stayed as two couples, with the room being advertised as having a double bed and a sofa bed. However, after booking we had to pay an extra £20 for bed linens for the sofa bed, which I thought was cheeky enough - but when we arrived, the sofa bed was not made up, with the linens piled on top. We even had to put pillow & duvet cases on ourselves. I think I wouldn't have minded paying the extra cash if the bed had been made up for us, but the fact we just paid extra for someone to take some sheets out of a cupboard seems a bit rich! Our friends who stayed on the sofa bed said it was extremely uncomfirtable, and there was a lot of street noise in that room as it is technically the 'front' room. I'd say this is a great place to stay for a couple, but not great for four people.
The location is incredibly central, a five minute walk from Haymarket and about 20 minutes from Waverley. The rooms were spacious and in a lovely old building. We were sent the doorcode prior to arrival and it was easy to access the apartment.

SpainWe had some issues with some basic amenities - cooker didn’t work, window blind missing, fridge and bin in need of repair. The staff were wonderful and although unable to solve some things made sure we felt comfortable and gave us a complimentary meal. My only piece of constructive criticism to the management would be to change the title “5 star luxury”. It isn’t. It’s a very nice place to stay but the title creates very high expectations which the property doesn’t yet meet.
Spacious, tasteful decor, comfortable, elegant plus friendly/efficient staff.

NetherlandsVery uncomfortable matrass of the sofa bed in the living room. Sound isolation is very poor. Noise from buses and trams are heard all night. Blackout In the living room is terrible. If you sleep on the sofa bed, I bet you get up on the first sunshine in the morning. Despite all the above drawbacks, they still charge an additional 25GBP for the sofa bed linens. Yes.. you read that correctly. Not all necessary bed linens are covered in the tariff.
Good location. Spacious living room. Comfortable main bedroom for 2 persons max.

The property was very spacious. The location was perfect, just a few minutes walk from the tram. Very clean! The host went above and beyond - we were in Edinburgh celebrating a 30th and the apartment was decorated with balloons etc!

United KingdomIt had a very unique style with the doorway leading into the bedroom being part of the wall. The kitchen would have been perfect for a bit of a Masterchef night with friends.

United KingdomThe decoration was tired, lots of marks on the walls and carpets. We were disappointed with the kitchen equipment in the property…no trays for cooking, limited condiments ie no salt, pepper, no dishcloth for washing up and the tee towel was smelly! The most disappointing was the poor customer service! We could not get into the property as we were not sent the key code and could not get a response on the emergency number. When we eventually spoke to someone they kept sending automated replies which did not answer or solve the problem!! When I booked the property I was told departure luggage storage was included which it wasn’t! Despite this being the fault of the company they refused to help and kept sending automated emails rather than speak with us! I found the staff to be unhelpful and very in personable. I regret to say, although we visit Edinburgh every year, I would not book with Altido again or recommend them and struggle to see how this property has been listed as 5star!
The apartment was very spacious with lovely beds, beautiful kitchen area and nicely presented

United KingdomDecorative pillows and throw on bed where stained and dirty. The £20 charge for additional bedding for the sofa bed when the apartment is £680 for 2 nights I think is excessive. I think this should be absorbed in the £80 cleaning fee.
