How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

It would have been nice to be able to have more than a quick drink at the bar when we returned but it closed at 11.
We chose not to eat breakfast in the hotel but the location was so central it was easy to find somewhere for a coffee etc. The hotel was very handy for the cathedral, Oliver Cromwell’s house, the river and the railway station.

Perhaps a little too "no frills" for the price. Fortunately only there for a night so didn't need to buy toiletries beyond the basic hand wash provided.
Clean, comfortable. Good breakfast. Friendly staff. Good location in centre of town

I think the lack of lift was a minor problem My parents are elderly and mobility is an issue When they booked they didn’t see that the Hotel didn’t have a lift Additionally we did have a drink in the bar but all the lower height tables were reserved The bar stools and tables were just too high for them to sit on or even get on to sit
I liked the food choice and the friendliness of the staff. That was excellent The Hotel is extremely well placed in the Town of Ely. I loved it and I really enjoyed my first visit to Ely We all loved it. Thank you all

A light over the bathroom mirror to help with shaving and putting on makeup would be a good idea.
We had a thoroughly enjoyable stay. The food was excellent and very reasonably priced. The staff were so helpful and friendly without being intrusive. We would not hesitate to book a further stay.

2 very long staircases up to room, although I was getting used to them after 2 nights. No lift.
Excellent service. A nice room with simple, easy to use light switches, unlike some other hotels I've been in lately! Friendly bar staff. Great breakfast on the Saturday, although I hadn't booked in for one.

- • Family with young children

- • Stayed 1 night
Parking at this hotel is always a lottery, and spaces are awkward for a bigger car. The bar area of the hotel gets very busy, particularly at weekends. Food ind drink is not great, but reasonable quality and price. Rooms are sometimes a little cramped and tired.
The hotel has no lift, our room was on the top floor. However, that meant it was very quiet. The room itself was adequate in size. The shower-in-bath was a little antinquated, but worked fine. English breakfast was really good, served by pleasant, helpful staff - Well cooked and presented. In the evening we had some drinks close to the bar, which was noisy but people all behaved well.
