Feedback Guidelines - how to review an edinburgh hotel

Thank you for taking to time to read these guidelines. We love edinburgh hotel and guest house reviews and so do other people.

In order to ensure that we accept your review, and the people that read it get the maximum benefit, we have given you a few pointers below.

The internet is a great place to find out information on a edinburgh hotels before you book. Other peoples honest feedback has persuaded us to book a hotel we've never heard of, or not...

So what are we looking for in a review (or what makes a great review)?

All reviews we receive are checked by human editors before we put them up on this website. We reserve the right to edit the text (not the votes) or to reject the review completely.

You review should be in English, should not include words all in capital letters, swear words, racist / sexist (or any -ist) comments, references to other reviews we have listed or any form of advertising (including a shameless plug for your own hotel / website, telephone numbers, addresses, HTML or URL's).

If you only want to complete section 4 (the votes section), that's fine. If you want to write a review as well, that's even better. How much you complete is up to you, but if you don't include your e-mail address / name, we can't post your words if they contain anything contentious.

Try to avoid one word reviews such as 'bad' or statements without reasons (instead of 'the best edinburgh hotel', try 'close to the castle, the staff couldn't be more helpful, the room was large and had everything we needed, excellent value for money').

Try not let one thing influence your whole review . For example, if the staff were rude, but the hotel is in a great location and offers great value for money, please try to reflect this in your votes and you feedback.

We like hearing about the good and bad of any hotel (or any silver lining, if there is one). Maybe the hotel was expensive, but it was close to the city centre, had very helpful staff and larger than average rooms.

Don't worry about spelling, grammar or paragraphing (it's hard to do in the box anyway). We will sort this out when we post the review.

Once we've read your review and checked it, as long as it's does not break any of the guidelines, we'll put it up, linked from the relevant hotel page on this website (and if we don't have a page for that hotel, we'll put one up). As we've said above, we reserve the right to edit your text (but we won't change the meaning) or reject your review. This may take up to 7 days.
