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, Iceland, Australia, Greece, Brazil and North Carolina. For properties in these regions, 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 KingdomGreat location for exploring. Lovely quiet, very spacious room facing the courtyard. Nice to have complimentary coffee , tea and bottled water. Air conditioning was a god send as it was exceptionally hot. Was presently surprised to have a bath and shower as only expected a shower. College porters were really helpful and gave great recommendations for food. Far surpassed my uni experience 😆.

Fantastic location in town and beautiful college environment. I was surprised to have AC in the bedroom, but this made an enormous difference. Also, my room overlooked the main street which I thought would be very noisy, but the soundproofing was pretty good1

United KingdomWas disappointed that due to conferences being held during our stay we didn't have the option to pay for breakfast, as I'd read somewhere that this would be taken in the College Hall, and it would have been nice to experience it. We still got to wander around the grounds though which we enjoyed. Won't mention the pillows as I see that's already been resolved 😉 (we stayed July/August but I've only just got around to reviewing).
Excellent accommodation in a fabulous setting - made our first trip to Cambridge all the more memorable. Lovely warm welcome from the Porters who were all very friendly and helpful. Free parking on site included. Nice selection of bars nearby and only a short walk to the main centre.

United KingdomI booked a room for 1 adult and 1 child (17 years) but upon arrival we had been allocated a normal room with a standard double bed. This was disappointing as I specifically searched for 1 adult and 1 child. Booking.com should be more mindful of the accommodation it offers in response to specific search criteria.
An excellent location in the centre of Cambridge at the beautiful Downing College, just ten minutes walk from the main Cambridge attractions and the river. The Porters were particularly friendly and helpful. Nothing was too much trouble for them. Free car parking was available for the entire duration of the stay, in the secure grounds of the College.
