Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

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.

Near train station Good to have room on ground floor as there wasn’t a lift. Comfy bed.

United KingdomBathroom was a bit cramped. Not really a big problem. Tea and coffee was available on ground floor, bit of a trek from the top floor, but again not really a big issue.
Bed was comfortable, room was clean, very convenient/close to train station. No problems with automated checkin / getting access using code. Good value for money considering the location.

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.

GuernseyPersonless hotel so everything is done by codes which is great when it works but not so great when it doesn’t. My room code did not work and I had to wait an hour until it was sorted. They staff worked really hard to get it done for me but the hours wait meant I was late for my plans.

United Kingdom* It's a shame there's no kettle - I brought my travel kettle though. * The windows don't fit very well so there was some traffic noise.
* Cheap and cheerful - I was at a university event so wasn't in the room very long, so it fitted the bill perfectly. * Very good location - easy to get to from the train and an easy walk to the city.

United KingdomRoom was by the front door, so those happy and more-than-likely tipsy souls (bless their cotton socks) returning in the small hours woke us up several times. I did ask to move, but hotel was full (it being the weekend I suppose).
Location was fair - bit of a step to centre; but arriving and leaving by train, it was near to station, which was helpful. Room was clean and comfortable. The kitchen with complementary tea and coffee was an excellent and appreciated touch. While the room was on ground floor and to the front, at least it had smoked glass. Street noise generally stopped after rush hour.
