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 KingdomQuite noisy. Noise from other guests in adjoining apartments, noise from extractor, water pump, waste macerator...
Lovely apartment. Good location. Nice being able to arrive and leave without faffing with keys, check-in/out etc.

United Arab EmiratesNo napkins, paper towel. Also no extra garage bags and bin us small. Called for early check in access. No one available so checked in at agreed time and kept my bags with me, I honestly don’t like the code system as a solo traveler. Felt a bit exposed, especially at night on Ely’s quiet street
Layout was fabulous. Very comfortable and decor considerate & practical. Nice vib. Loved chilling out after work. Love how easy check in and out was following your clear procedure.

United KingdomThere is free parking in the Forehill car park but because of time restrictions you need to move the car depending what time you get there so this was a little annoying.
Immaculately clean. Perfect central location. Quick responses. Would definitely stay again and recommend. Thank you.

New ZealandNo soundproofing, so when the guests were in the neighbouring apartment we could hear everything they said, even them walking. Sounded like they were in the same room with us. The kitchen was very basic (only a microwave and toaster) so we were unable to prepare meals in it.
Electronic key entry made arrival easy and no need to worry about keys. The apartment end entry to the building was very clean and tastefully renovated, however, the room would benefit from some coat hooks a shoe rack by the door, and a spare blanket. The bed was large and comfortable. The location was excellent and easy walking to the river, cathedral, restaurants, cafes, pubs etc.. lots of nice options for eating out. Also right beside the town market which had a great variety over the days we stayed. Easy distance to lots of sites in the surrounding area and Cambridge.

United KingdomThe parking is in a nearby public car park which we found completely full on arrival and after driving around for 10 minutes, needed to park a 15 minute walk away instead (down by the river in Fisherman’s Carpark if you don’t mind the walk).
The apartment was spacious and had everything you could ever need for an away stay. The bed was comfortable and it suited us really well. Elaine was amazing and fast at responding to a small issue we had and we were so grateful. We were very grateful for the bottled water after attending a wedding and getting back late.

United KingdomAfter an initial confusion we had a fab stay. If arriving when it’s dark just be aware that the key code to get in is actually on the door handle. It took us a few mins to find it, but it’s a clever way of hiding it from others.
It’s right in the middle of Ely, so perfect location. It was all open plan, but spacious enough for our family of 4. The bed was super comfy. We really liked this property.

United KingdomMy wife and I did not find the mattress was very comfortable. The people in the neighbouring apartment were not noisy, but just people walking around could be quite clearly heard.
The apartment was really stylish and a good size. Everything was spotlessly clean and it was well appointed. The location was really convenient for Ely city centre.

United KingdomHigh level of noise on Friday morning from what I assume were the cleaning/maintenance staff in the adjacent flat. Nearby car park is convenient but being a free city centre car park finding a space can sometimes be difficult.
Stylish studio flat in a very convenient position. Ideal for a short stay. Access arrangements very easy.

AustraliaThe bed was in a little enclosure - whilst it looked nice, you could only access from one side. So, my wife had to climb over me to get into or out of the bed - as an older couple, this was not ideal. There is no parking for the apartment. You can park (for free) at nearby parking lots, but it does required moving your car (usually daily) and the parking rules are a bit confusing. There is a long single flight of stairs - perhaps an issue is you have mobility issues or find it hard to lift a suitcase up about 20 stairs. Access to building and room is via a 6 digit access code - this simplifies getting access, but keying the code (on a small keypad - twice) ever time to enter, was a little annoying.
Ely is a beautiful city/town. The apartment is right in the heart of Ely - making it easy to explore the city on foot. The Cathedral, river etc are within a 5-10 minute walk. There were many cafes/restaurants within a few minutes walk (we enjoyed Peacocks tearoom and Wildwood Italian). We were lucky with the weather and had some lovely walks along the river - just beautiful. The apartment was comfortable - decent size, nice bathroom, functional kitchenette)
