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 KingdomThe room was spartan, but functional. This is hardly a criticism considering this is a hall of residence for a college not a hotel room (and I've stayed in worse hotel rooms).
The room was small but perfect for an overnight stay and had everything I needed. The staff were friendly and professional and the information provided meant that I never felt lost on a large meandering complex. The breakfast provided was very good with the type of choice and surroundings you might expect from a good quality hotel. The college itself is in a perfect location for access to the centre of Cambridge and meant that nothing was too far away. What makes staying in one of Cambridge's historic colleges special though is knowing that some of history's great people have also trod these paths and corridors, in this case Charles Darwin.

United KingdomToilet and shower room opposite the bedroom smelt a bit fusty. Nothing horrible, but could maybe do with more airing from time to time as there is a fan but no window.
Staff were friendly and helpful. Bedroom was clean and comfortable. Lovely view of the Darwin garden. Excellent location to explore Cambridge and at a good price. I would definitely stay again.

United Kingdom.
The location was perfect, being right in the centre of town and close to supermarkets, restaurants, shopping and pubs. The student accomodation I stayed in was a modern ensuite room which was perfectly suitable, clean and additional tea/coffee supplies were provided daily. I also had access to a kitchen with toaster, microwave, fridge and 2 ring hob. There was no oven, but this wasn't a big deal for a short stay. The best thing was the special and historic nature of the buildings, it was a real privilege to be able to stay in such a building. It was also very secure with keycard access,

United StatesThe bathroom, which I was alone using, was not cleaned before I got there (or at least there was a used towel on the floor). Also, the walls are thin, so not ideal for light sleepers.
The room was very comfortable, the college is beautiful, central location. Checking in and out was a breeze. Altogether, very happy with my stay.
