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'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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and Standards for Reviews
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...).

The breakfast is the only part that disappointed us. We were under the impression we would get a cooked breakfast - as per the reviews on a cooked breakfast. There was boxes of cereal, bread and buns that we could help ourselfs too. Otherwise everything was very clean comfy and stylish

Set up took some getting used to - keypad to enter property and room, was almost like someone else's house. Didn't see a soul during my stay. But none of this was a problem, just unusual - actually worked really well for my needs.
All clean, comms with host were good, very comfortable, nice shower. Facilities available (kitchen area) were all clean and well equipped.

Nothing to dislike.
Anna makes an amazing breakfast, all ingredients are very high quality. Even fresh tomatoes from her garden. Our room was so comfortable with all that you could possibly need. Excellent shower. very comfortable bed. We really enjoyed chatting with Anna, especially about things to do with the horse racing industry. We only stayed for one night, but could happily stayed for much longer. We hope to be able to return next year, if not before.

Other guest being noisy leaving the house early on one morning, but not the host's fault.
Host Anna was very friendly, knowledgeable about the area and cooks a great breakfast! The location was very convenient being close to the High Street and many local restaurants, but in a quiet residential area.

We have stayed in numerous places whilst visiting the races in Newmarket, this is, by far, the best place we have stayed in; total value for money, comfort and exceptional service. Thank you, Anna, we hope you have a room free the next time we visit!!

Big room Comfortable bed Dog friendly Large, clean bathroom and good shower Anna is a terrific host who really took care of us - particularly when we were both fairly wounded from a wedding the day before! The breakfast she makes is absolutely delicious and she really allowed us to feel like we could be at home whilst we stayed with her. We wouldn’t think twice about coming back :)

Absolutely nothing, there is nothing not to like. I have only good things to say about The Cambridgeshire
Anna the host was so lovely, nothing was too much trouble. The rooms are beautiful, tidy,clean,well stocked with the essentials, and the beds were very comfortable. The breakfast was amazing, such a huge variety, and cooked freshly, served in a lovely dining area. The complementary drinks fridge was a bonus, especially with thirsty children. The parking was right outside the door. The Cambridgeshire is in a lovely quiet area. We loved it.
