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 KingdomVery friendly and helpful staff, comfortable room with outside seating area, and a very good breakfast. We were there over a weekend when there were no conferences, so the place was mostly deserted. Beautiful grounds, but sadly some areas were not accessible at weekends.

A spotless, comfortable room with a king size bed and coffee and tea making facilities. The heating was on when we arrived and it was greatly appreciated throughout the weekend as the weather was unseasonably cold, The breakfast was good. We had an evening meal at the bar one night and it was reasonably priced and although a limited choice it was of a good standard. The first night we had a meal at the Red Lion pub which was 5 min away and this was very good. the grounds are beautiful and there was lots of car parking space. We will definitely return.

Property immaculate,quiet and serene. The grounds are like being on the most beautiful campus you will ever see. The wild life and the gardens stunning. It was a sheer slice of heaven. The hall is an old estate converted into a genome conference center. They have a lounge where you can get food for a small menu or a cafeteria with some really good choices only open until 3 I believe. The breakfast buffet has everything for a proper English breakfast. Since they are a conference center they are use to catering which is a plus in the food they prepare. A 6 minute walk away is a pub and down road a McDonald’s and a small m&s simple. Not much else around but only a 15 min drive from Cambridge. While it’s not a proper hotel it’s worth a try especially if your hitting an air show at Duxford (6min) I am in love with this place and look forward to taking my tea into an empty lounge in the old manor house for some quiet reflection. I really didn’t want to leave. Ps. The flowers and trees smelll HEAVENLY!!

United KingdomSignage was awful, hard to find your way around in the dark. Was told on arrival there was no food on offer due to low number of bookings, not really ideal after a long drive. Surely a message could have been sent that would have allowed us to eat before arrival.
Great location, beautiful grounds

AustraliaI found it a little challenging once I got past the main security barrier to successfully navigate my way around the facility and find the reception centre for Hinxton Hall. To be fair though, I arrived late at night after a long day and the area was quite dark. If it had been during the day it would have been much easier however I'm sure many others would have turned up under these conditions. Maybe a little more information on that aspect may help somewhat.
Beautifully cooked full English breakfast, just the way I like it. Room was perfect with a small but entirely adequate bathroom. Plenty of hot water and good shower pressure. The grounds surrounding the area are beautiful, lush and well maintained. Very peaceful and quiet, easy to get a good night's sleep.

United KingdomIt's a conference centre, so not a hotel. The dinning room had a refectory feel (long communal tables), the bar was small and poorly stocked. Wasn't prepared for the tap water in the room not being drinkable and whilst there were water dispensers in the communal areas, it was inconvenient. Although there are limited hotels in the area, it did feel expensive.
The room was very clean, the bed was really comfortable, the air conditioning made the room wonderfully cool and the staff were very pleasant- all were smiley and happy to help. Although very limited, the food offered from the bar in the evening was very reasonably priced. We would stay again but have more realistic expectations next time.
