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 KingdomStaff inexperienced and disorganised. Computer system they are using is seriously slow. Breakfast was disappointing. Low quality sausages and bacon. Took ages to poach an egg.
Great location, beautiful room with balcony overlooking river, sheets wonderful, bed comfortable. Spa is good.

United KingdomThe shower gel and tissue boxes had not been refilled in my room. I only discovered the shower gel issue when in the shower so had to make do with bar soap as it was a one night stay. Also the mini bar fridges are quite loud and constantly turn on during the night to keep cool. But the absolute worst thing is the parking: This is not included in the over night and stay and instead was an extra £25 for a single night! Highway robbery! For £250 a night this should be included in the room rate.
The location is convenient for exploring Cambridge, being about a 15 minute walk from the heart of the city. The style and decor is also very nice.

United KingdomA bin in the bedroom would have been very helpful. We consumed the caffeinated coffee and breakfast tea on day one. These were not replenished so on the morning of day 2, when we were hoping to have tea and coffee, there was none.
We did not have breakfast at the hotel. We had a king sized room and it was very good. Lovely view of the river.

United KingdomAsked for and received a walk in shower due to limited mobility. Unfortunately the shower was hand held with no place to fix it. This made showering difficult for someone with limited mobility and they were too anxious to use shower by the last day

United KingdomThe shower wasn’t great. The staff all seemed very stressed and we gave up trying to get served at the bar in the evening because there was only one girl serving and had already waited 10 minutes. There was another member of staff at the bar but instead of serving (despite there being several people waiting) he was cleaning! There wasn’t any place to buy a bottle of water except at the bar and we didn’t want to pay £7.50 room service fee just for two bottles of water. The outdoor area was lovely, but the staff forgot about us and were standing around chatting. The ladies next to us also had the same problem.
Location and outdoor dining/bar area. Good parking facilities.

United KingdomOne of the cleaning staff sat on the floor of the balcony next door talking loudly on his phone, smoked a cigarette (and the smoke blew into our room) and then started to watch a film on his phone so we had to go inside and close the door.
Great location. Friendly staff. Comfortable room and quirky touches to make it “un-corporate”. Upgraded to a king size room with river view so enjoyed sitting out on the balcony watching the punts go by.

United KingdomAir conditioning on far too high so the room was very cold. Even turning the temp up to 24 made little difference. I turned off the air/c overnight but even then the fan continued for a very long time. We didn’t like the darkness of the reception at all or the darkness in the corridors or rooms.
Location is wonderful; staff are lovely and breakfast was lovely. Bed was so comfortable, room was so spacious and shower was excellent

GermanyWe had a balcony, which was very nice, but I found the chairs on the balcony not particularly inviting. Since the cushions were left outside in all weather conditions, they didn't look very appealing. I would suggest placing a storage box there to keep them clean and only use them when needed
A very charming hotel, right by the water and centrally located. Our room was perfect. The couch for our son was very comfortable, and our beds were very cozy. Great view of the river. The breakfast offered everything you could wish for. We dined at the restaurant one evening, and the food was delicious. Some of the staff were quite young and thus a bit inexperienced, but they were all very friendly and attentive. We felt very comfortable and well taken care of.
