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 KingdomThe mattress was of a cheaper type, not comfy. There is a common pantry in the building with tea and coffee, that's nice. Still it wouldn't hurt if a simple drinking glass was provided in the room.
An old building with rooms that have been given some budget renovation. No staff on site - door codes are sent to you the day before your arrival. Quite ascetic but clean - OK for an overnight stay but only just that.

United KingdomThe 'onsite' staff were not terrifically accessible or particularly helpful - I had to help a far eastern asian couple gain access to their room after they were unable to successfully navigate the booking in procedure (don't book last minute, and expect the room access code to magically arrive in seconds!). The phone number given didn't connect, and I had to do a fair bit of digging online to find a number that did! If anything goes wrong, don't expect any meaningful assistance to fix either access to the room or facilities within it. You're on your own! The owners have also stuffed rooms into every corner of the property, and the loft rooms are small with awkward access via cramped stairs. The wardrobe in the studio is laughably small being around 400mm in depth. If there are two of you, good luck hanging anything up.
The location was ideal for the business trip that I undertook. I booked a studio apartment which was essentially the kitchen and breakfast room of a terraced house. While 'compact' living was the order of the day, everything was spotlessly clean and well presented. The kitchen was reasonably well equipped.

United KingdomThe room was sold as having air conditioning, which it did not. The desk was very small and not ideal if you want to work at it for any period of time. It was a little noisy from the cleaners in the morning but that is understandable.
The room was extremely clean and very spacious. The location is ideal for the train station and the faculty of education/Homerton college. The bed was very comfy with different types of pillows available.

AustraliaI found it very complicated accessing the accommodation. I am not a very technical person on the internet so found it very stressful. I found it very hard too trying to communicate with your staff on the phone, very hard to understand them and I rang many times with no answer. I was waiting for ages outside trying to get through to your staff. I was also annoyed that I had to pay an extra 50 pounds, I think that i should have been already notified about this. I hope that I am reimbursed with this money as soon as possible as it said.
The bed was comfortable, and shower etc good. Nice and clean and fresh.

GermanyFew complaints that were not huge issues for a short business trip: hair dryer wasn't working, toilet is extremely small to the point it was hard to close the door while using it, and the chair and desk in the room are not very comfortable. Could hear other guests as the noise insulation is not that great.
Things were generally clean and worked well. It is a small room but is what I expected and paid for. Self check-in was easy and the hosts were responsive via Booking.com.

United KingdomI've stayed multiple times in various rooms and my biggest frustration is the fixed shower heads that send out the tiniest streams of water that go everywhere except where you want them. Flexible shower heads would be a superb upgrade.
Location is the reason I book the hotel. Its clean and comfortable enough if you are traveling for work.

PortugalHowever, we encountered a couple of minor hiccups during our visit. Firstly, the noise from outside was noticeable, which slightly disrupted our sleep. Additionally, the room was a bit chilly at night, despite our efforts to adjust the temperature. Besides this, we were surprised by the incidental damage deposit of £50 requested the day before our arrival, but the process was smooth, and the value was promptly restored the next day without any hassle.
My boyfriend and I had a delightful one-night stay at this Cambridge accommodation. The room had a cozy ambiance and comfortable bed, ensuring a restful night's sleep. The bathroom amenities, including shower gel and shampoo, were a thoughtful touch, adding to the overall convenience of our stay. The provision of coffee, tea, and a machine with hot and cold water was a welcome bonus, allowing us to unwind and refresh at any time during our stay. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our experience and would highly recommend this accommodation to anyone visiting Cambridge. The combination of excellent facilities, great location, and comfortable amenities made our stay truly great.

United KingdomBad experience with check in… staff talking to us through a ring doorbell. We hadn’t been able to check in online, the notification said I hadn’t paid when I’d paid in advance. It was a shambles to be honest. The idea is good but it didn’t work for either of us in two different rooms due to the check-in link online not working and trying to talk to someone in possibly another country on an intercom when noisy traffic was passing. It worked in the end but there was 15 mins of unnecessary stress …
Lovely room, good location for Cambridge Junction. Hot drink’s available, very comfortable and clean.
