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.).

Stayed at the Cathedral lodge for two days to see Canterburys attractions, have to say what a brilliant hotel.Firstly its located in the grounds of the cathedral so you literally walk straight from the hotel door into the grounds of the cathedral which is amazing.The hotel is a lovely place to stay to explore Canterbury a lovely hotel very comfortable and clean with very friendly and helpfull staff we were made to feel very welcome and nothing was too much trouble for the hotel colleagues.Breakfast was included at the hotel and it was excellent lots of choice and very nicely cooked. Also included in the hotel stay was a free pass into the cathedral which is normally approx £17 to enter so another added bonus and a must to see absoltely stunning,carpark is available at the hotel at a cost of £10 per night but it is best to pre-book this as space is limited.The hotel is located central to all attractions and is also very secure all in all a great place to stay for a comfortable visit to one of Englands historic citys.

AustraliaThe hotel was clean, comfortable, quiet and perfectly located. It was the ideal spot to see not only the beautiful cathedral, but Canterbury as well. The staff were friendly and helpful, we had a room with a view of the Cathedral, and the breakfast was excellent. Unexpected bonuses included being able to hear the bells at the Cathedral, and the peacefulness of the precinct.

AustraliaLacking a guest laundry - travellers need a place to wash clothes and high street laundrettes are often not suitable or easy to access with a load of laundry
Fabulous location in the Cathedral grounds, access after hours and listening to the bells chiming. Onsite restaurant was great and convenient.

United StatesThe beds are a little too stiff for my liking. My room had a very small shower and was hard to move around without hitting the walls.
The location is fabulous and perfectly convenient for the city centre and exploring the cathedral grounds whenever you want. The staff is fantastic, the gardens, tea room, and breakfast room are stylish, comfortable, bright, and clean.

I liked the location, the breakfast the staff were lovely, due to location there is no pool or gym or spa facilities, the hotel is quite small so the price is a little hefty to be honest
