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.).

AustraliaNothing, everything was good. Other people might complain that they have to walk up 40 flights of stairs, but that didn’t matter to me.
The overall experience blew me away. I couldn’t have asked for more.

Everything was better than expected after arriving from Heathrow Airport after bumper-to-bumper traffic on the M25. At checkin the front desk made parking available on the Cathedral grounds and only a couple of minute walk to the inn. Breakfast was one of the best in many weeks in the UK and the location couldn't have been better with FREE access to the Cathedral and only steps away. Grounds were extremely well maintained and the room was excellent wth great internet service.

United KingdomAs above - i think the chef had run out of hollandaise sauce by the time my eggs royale were dished up! Disappointing. To be fair, I didn’t complain- if i had i’m sure it would have been rectified.
Location wonderful. Breakfast very good on the first morning, the second not so much! The Campanile Gardens were beautiful. All the garden landscaping excellent. Mostly friendly staff. Everywhere spotlessly clean.

AustraliaOur room was upgraded on arrival, had cathedral views and the lodge has a lovely breakfast room and lounge area. The staff went out of their way to help when we needed to extend our stay. We would definitely return to stay here.
The location is absolutely tops. You have the cathedrals grounds at your doorstep and are minutes away from the pedestrian precinct of Canterbury

United KingdomThe room faced onto the high street which was very loud so I would bring ear plugs if you have one of those rooms.
The breakfast was incredible. I also had lunch in the lounge which was great. Also all the security staff made it feel super safe. To be able to walk around the grounds of the cathedral after visiting hours was so lovely.
