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 KingdomRestaurant busy on Friday night…worth booking a table ahead. Closer you get to Cambridge the higher the room rate it appears.
Room modern and well appointed. Bed comfortable. Good choice of food, good quality.

United KingdomThe room felt cold on arrival and it took ages for the heater to kick in. The room key was fiddly - would be good if the keypad battery could be replaced to allow use of that instead.
The bed - lovely firm mattress and supportive pillows! Breakfast fruit compote! Everything about the dinner we ordered - beautifully-cooked meat, flavoursome crunchy vegetables (recommend the smoked-paprika-infused broccoli), indulgent chocolate delice and eye-opening cheese selection.

AustraliaThe village is tiny and just outside Cambridge. There is a park and ride but because of issues with rental car we couldn’t use. Buses ran very infrequently so we had to taxi in and out of town.
Good sized rooms with nice outlook. Very good food available for all meals. Staff were very helpful when we encountered problems with our car rental and had a flat tyre.

United KingdomAs mentioned to the manager, nobody had cleaned out the shower or basin drains in a long while meaning that both drained very badly. Possibly a negative only for our room but there appeared to be a very noisy pump type thing that interrupted the peace of the night.
The positive attitude of the manager and staff. Both the evening meal and breakfast were fine.

United KingdomFood we had evening meal my wife’s lamb was cooked wonderfully however her peas look and felt as if they had been hanging around a bit ( hard). As for mine the bun was over toasted the halloumi was overcooked the gherkins sliced would have been better. As for the mushroom it was a single on not sliced just there in the middle. I had not finished my starter and the main course had come out which was a bit awkward as the waitress just stitcher waiting for me to finish.

United KingdomThey could have lines or deciders in the car park for each space because of the amount of drivers who feel entitled to take two species was shocking and there could have been at least ten more spaces in an already filled carpark.
The pub, the location and staff even with a little hiccup about breakfast at fast was quickly resolved. Every was amazing and well worth the money only let down was the bathroom extraction fan had broke. And fir some time as there was a little mould. Other than that. Amazing.
