“5 star. Would recommend to anybody.”
We recently hosted our engagement party at the Scotsman Hotel, and we honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the very beginning, the entire team went above and beyond to make sure our night ran as smoothly as possible. A huge thank you to Klea, who was fantastic throughout the … more

“An excellent hotel experience”
What an excellent hotel. From the first introduction from staff, all the way through, everyone was friendly, helpful and professional. Rooms are spacious with good views of the city, if requested. Beds are comfortable, plenty of closet and storage space, excellent wi-fi. The location can't be bette… more

“Great location, lovely hotel with plenty of history.”
We had a lovely room here. Quite large, with a sitting area. Lovely new bathroom with plenty of space in the shower. It was easy to walk up to the Mile, and the castle . Also plenty of dining options close by. My only negative was we had to ask for the bottle of Prosecco which came with the room a… more

“Regrettable Stay”
My second stay at The Scotsman and it was not a good one. The room we were assigned was horrendous, it overlooked the Scotsman Steps and the wall behind it, had zero privacy and sound insulation. People going up and down the stairs can literally look into the room which meant that we had to keep ou… more

Key features of the moderation of reviews
There is an automatic system that detects offensive language, in which case the review will not be published. If an owner reports one of the reviews, the review will be re-evaluated and, if it fails to comply with our content standards, it will be taken down.
Our criteria for collecting guest reviews
After getting home from the trip booked with us, the customer will receive an email asking them to review different aspects of each of the services booked. The system only allows the booking holder to complete this review and only once.
When will my review appear on the website?
Reviews typically take less than 24 hours to appear on our website. The process may take longer if our team of moderators have to examine the review in more detail.
How long will my review stay on the website?
Once it has been published, your review will automatically appear in the summary of reviews and if it is considered a featured review (based on publication date, length and quality of content), the complete review will also appear. Said review will not appear or will disappear from the system if it contains offensive language or if it is reported.
Can I get a reward for my opinion?
No. Reviews written in exchange for personal rewards such as gifts, services, or money will be taken down.
Can a review be edited?
No, once a review has been written, it cannot be edited. If you want it taking down, you can ask to have it deleted and not republished again.
Will my review appear on other websites or publications?
Once published, all or some of the reviews written by our members may be used on some of our partner sites or in promotional material in general.
If I write a review about a service, can the provider contact me about it?
No, as the personal data of the booking holder writing the review will not be shared with any service providers being reviewed. In the featured reviews shown, only the booking holder's first name will appear, meaning that there's no way that the service provider can contact you.
