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.).

United Kingdomas mentioned above . Because we were mother and daughter I felt we got overlooked .
location excellent , staff very friendly - only issue was the bar staff in the evening didn't seem able to prioritise and on Friday evening after waiting for about 30 minutes and others walking in and getting served we decided to leave and go elsewhere for a drink. Probably because we were just 2 people but this shouldn't happen

United KingdomVery expensive for what you get m IMHO, junior suite and terrace nice but could have been cleaner in the nooks and crannies, tiny functional bathroom with no bath not great for an expensive suite, shower pressure and temp a bit iffy. Sofa bed not made up as specifically requested which was annoying but not a major issue.
Great location. Nice hotel public areas, cool vibe, comfy and modern junior suite with lovely views. Great attentive reception staff. Overall, enjoyable but not perfect….

United KingdomLeisure centre could have been cleaner - particularly the floor around the pool area and the pool was too cold. The rooms were not very sound proof - could hear a lot of noise between rooms and the room was very hot - air con seemed to make no difference we would also have appreciated fresh milk in the fridge for coffee given the hotel standard.
Quirky hotel in a great location. Spacious and clean rooms with good hotel facilities. Staff were very friendly and helpful. We also enjoyed a drink at the bar and the hotel was buzzing.

FranceThe children menu at the bar. The pasta with tomatoe sauce was spicy. Then we asked for a burger: it was burnt! The waiter did'nt make us pay for it and was very nice, and the day after the hotel did'nt make me pay the breakfast! Another thing : I forgot my computer charger in a drawer and call about that. They did'nt find it, they were supposed to call me back after but no news for the moment...
Very nice people and good location and rate.

United KingdomThe truck loading laundry was outside our room making a lot of noise from around 7am. There were no signs in the hotel to get to the fitness centre which was a bit of a maze. The chromecast was unplugged in our room and took us a long time to work out this was why nothing was connecting. A housekeeper came at 10am to clean the room when we were still there, we left shortly after and came back at 8pm but the room hadn’t been cleaned (seemed it was only possible to do it in the morning which wouldn’t expect for the price of the stay).
Really friendly staff, beautiful rooms, great location and right next to the river.

United KingdomThe corridor where our room was located was very damp with a strong smell of mould. The wallpaper was either coming away from the walls or off completely. The walls uncovered by wallpaper were covered in black mould from floor to ceiling. This was not pleasant to look at or breathe in.
Very friendly staff and the hotel was in a great location.

United KingdomThe bar was outrageously expensive (£15 for 2 pints of beers). A couple of things in the room weren’t working (shower screen wouldn’t close, weak toilet flush) which we told reception on check out who did not seem to care.
Great location for accessing Cambridge, the room was lovely and modern and the bed very comfortable.

United KingdomIt was 500 steps from our room to the front door. There was no lift from the car park entrance. Those who are frail or have mobility problems should make sure their room is close to the facilities. The room safe was in the floor which is an issue for anyone with knee problems.
