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 a little shabby - a few decorative things which could have been easily rectified hadn’t been. The mattress was truly awful with a huge dip on one side - missing/broken springs maybe??

United KingdomIt would have been more convenient to have breakfast at the hotel, but due to staffing issues the cafe was closed. However, it was only a short walk to places nearby. We didn’t have milk in our room to make a cup of tea but on the second night, one of the lovely staff fetched some for us. The decor in our room, particularly the carpet, was looking a bit sad and shabby but we were told they are planning to refurbish soon. The bathroom was nice and our only issue was the sink, which was minuscule and made it really difficult to brush teeth or fill the kettle!
The staff were welcoming, and all lovely and helpful. Our room was warm, clean and comfortable. The bar seemed popular and lively. The location is ideal for a short walk into town along the river, and close to lots of local amenities. We had an evening meal on the first night in the bar and the food was absolutely delicious.

United KingdomRooms need an update as they have been frequently used. This is being done 2023. Parking can be close if you are very lucky otherwise it will be 1/3 to 1/2 mile away (10 min walk). Breakfast not currently available (pastry and a coffee from shop next door - closed for winter and not in the cost when booked through Booking.com!).
Staff great. Location a short walk from Cambridge centre. Room comfortable and great for a couple of days stop over.

United KingdomOnly a very minor point, we stayed in room 1 and I'm guessing it was directly above the kitchen, there was some machinery noise from downstairs but it was just a background noise and didn't impact us that much.
Great location as we were attending a gig in a pub over the road, excellent check in and very friendly and welcoming staff. We ate in the pub, the food and drink were very good and good value for money.
