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 KingdomThe room was a little tired and in need of improvement, though overall it was comfortable. It was right above the pub and looked out onto the main road junction, so quite noisy. The check-in process wasn't brilliant - staff could have been a little friendlier and more welcoming.
Excellent location for Cambridge, close to the city and the station. Also very convenient for us getting to work. Good sized room with large comfortable bed. Parking and WiFi included. A competitive price for the location.

United KingdomThe room decor was tired (some might say run down) and not the cleanest that I have seen. But it was OK.
Hotel, with parking, within walking distance of Cambridge city centre at a sensible price. There are lots of room options, so was able to get a triple for myself and two children. Breakfast was good value.

NetherlandsUnfortunately we had the rooms with windows looking out to Hills Road which is pretty noisy in the mornings. Think they have more accommodation at the back in the car park area which would have had less traffic noise.
Amazing pub & absolutely lovely staff who could not have been more friendly, chatty, helpful & welcoming. Good food & drinks menu too. Location is spot on. Lovely additions - Tea/coffee/biscuits/sweets. Showers were great! When we come back to UK/Cambridge, we'll prob be staying here again.

Very good place to stay. Staff friendly, room was good and not noisy like other reviews had said. Would recommend as long as you're happy being a bit out of the centre. Definitely can't complain for the price!

United KingdomTiny defect, no bedside light for middle bed.
The room for three had three decent beds - none of them were pullouts or sofabeds, but proper comfort. Also, the staff happily agreed to let us leave our luggage with them after we checked out, so we could sightsee unencumbered until it was time for our train: this may seem normal, but the central Cambridge hotels we looked at all refused!

United KingdomJust be aware that the pub is a popular sports bar so it's not a quiet place. However, there are plenty of quieter places nearby if you want to be boring.
Very comfortable room with a good-sized bath and shower. Being part of the pub the facilities are always available. The rooms are still quiet even though the pub is not.
