“Staff at the George Hotel Edinburgh”
I called in at this hotel on 5th June and I was greeted by a member of staff named Chloe who was polite, helpful and went the extra mile to help us. Every establishment needs a Chloe, she is a true asset to this hotel

“Fourth Visit and Still the Perfect Edinburgh Christmas Escape”
This was our fourth Christmas shopping trip to Edinburgh and another fantastic stay at the InterContinental. From the moment we arrived, the festive atmosphere was exceptional. We were fortunate to receive an upgrade to a suite, and the hotel looked stunning with its Christmas decorations. The his… more

“Wonderful hotel in a perfect location. Marvellous service.”
Marvellous, hotel in beautiful George Street, which couldn’t be any more central for the sights of Edinburgh. Special thanks to Chloe, who is an absolute gem and who can’t do enough for guests and visitors. She made our visit very special indeed.

“Great location, but very small bathroom for a 5 star hotel”
We were a little disappointed in this claimed 5 star hotel. The location is excellent, but our TV did not work. Our booking was for a premium king, but really had two twins pushed together with a crack in the middle. (Apparently this is common in Europe). And our bathroom was very, very small. Henc… more

“Great location”
Location is great, the staff is awesome and a very good breakfast. The downside is the noise (laundry truck at 5:30-6am) other room noise and the a/c. Hotel could use a refresh, dirty carpets/walls especially in halls and stairwells.

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There is an automatic system that detects offensive language, in which case the review will not be published.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.
