Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
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...).

United KingdomTired in places, broken window catch so we couldn’t shut the window properly. This wasn’t a problem for us as weather 24 degrees however in cold weather it could be an issue. Bathroom and shower area very small.
Excellent breakfast, great location. Staff very helpful and pleasant. Room nice and clean. Large house and garden. Think the reviews on the booking site were for the most fair and honest so we knew what to expect for a reasonable price.

United KingdomThe choice of radio station playing in the dining room was a little odd. Given the clientele, radio 1 didn’t feel appropriate and the volume was quite loud. I could have done without rap music accompanying such an excellent breakfast! Maybe radio 2 a better option.
The room was a little tired but it was clean and the bed was comfortable. There was a good sized mirror on the dressing table next to a window with lots of natural light. The breakfast was excellent with lots of choice and really good service. Very tasty fruit salad and really well cooked Full English.

United KingdomThe wallpaper in No 10 bedroom, on one wall it’s a forest scene, which l thinks a bit over the top. Every window could do with cleaning or replacing, some window wouldn’t open or you couldn’t close.
The lounge and dining rooms are very nice, and the staff are lovely.

United KingdomI would suggest a bit more lightning in communal areas and garden at night. Being a smoker, it can be a bit of a challenge to walk around in the dark. However, understandable and manageable.
Staff very friendly, really comfortable bedroom and very good breakfast.

United KingdomNothing really from our point of view. Some might consider it a bit worn round the edges but if that bothers you there are concrete motels along the A14. But it's a long walk into Ely.
Within easy walking distance of the main attractions of what is in effect a small town. Attractive garden, ideal for a summer stay. Inside, like an old-fashioned small hotel with comfortable public area and a bar. Very pleased to be offered an evening meal. It is unusual in England nowadays in a place in this price range to be able to order a drink at the bar, take it outside into the garden and then go inside for dinner, and still walk into town afterwards. And decent breakfast.

United KingdomRoom smelt old and musty and felt dirty. No lamps by the bed. On arrival with 3 bags no offer of help to room. Everything was too much trouble for the host. Could hear him in the kitchen shouting while cooking. Dinner menu didn’t offer any vegetarian option. No restaurants near by so asked if there was anything he could do and he offered a ‘cheesy pasta sort of dish’ it was hot but served with new potatoes some very old looking corn on the cob and cauliflower.
Breakfast was ok and the lady who served it was very nice.
