Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 KingdomVery minor points only: Could’ve done with somewhere in the shower to put soap/shampoo. Very little space to put our own food. Freezer compartment in fridge needs defrosting.
Perfect location for our purposes. Good parking. Light and airy with thoughtful decoration. All the equipment you could possibly want. Good wifi and TV. Generous welcome pack. Decent towels and bedding.

United KingdomPossibly could have been a little cleaner/fresher, and it could benefit from a little refresh of the decor and furniture, I'm a landlady so I notice these things. All of that said it was totally acceptable and great value for money. We will be returning.
Great apartment with plenty of character and large enough for a couple if nights stay. Good location, close to the Abbey Gardens. We only had breakfast in the apartment but it has a small kitchen equipped for cooking dinner. Good communication from the owner.

United KingdomWe felt traffic noise at night was disturbing our sleep, (maybe secondary internal glazing in bedroom only could be beneficial if fitted). The boiler starting up at 3am woke us up. Maybe it could start up later ? These would not stop us booking again, only our suggestion could help in the future.
We liked the location, the facilities, the parking, all the bedding and towels, well equipped kitchen, and general details of the apartment. A lot of thought was clearly put into this apartment for guests.

United KingdomSofa could be more comfy. We were there in summer and out of the premises most of the time. If it were winter a cosier sofa would be great. But then it would be perfect;
Exactly as described, so lived up to expectations. Starter set of refreshments. It had been a long journey!

United KingdomApartment we had was upstairs which made the bag carrying difficult, but don’t suppose there is much that could be done other than ask for the other apartment.
Set on the road with ample parking so easily accessible. About 1/2 mile walk into town. The apartment is compact but has everything you’d need. Small but reasonably well equipped kitchen was ideal for us ( two adults) Similar story for the bathroom, small but functional, excellent shower. Living area has enough room to eat/relax. I’d imagine it would be a crush if there had been more than the 2 of us. Easy check in etc. Pub on the corner , and other amenities found in the nearby town. Bury is a good central base to explore Suffolk. Train station for trips to Ipswich, Cambridge, Newmarket, Ely is a 5 minute taxi ride away.

AustraliaTV in the living area, had to reprogram it to get all the Freeview channels. Also it didn't have all the channels but the bedroom one did. I didn't like that I couldn't access free streaming apps such as BBC iPlayer etc but expected to sign up to Amazon fire. Had to speak to maintenance a few times about TV and then Wi-fi and then no extra toilet paper. However the gentleman on the end of the phone was very helpful and everything was rectified pretty quickly. Awful place to find! Better directions on Booking.com as it is tucked away a bit on a busy road.
Proximity to the centre of Bury St Edmunds. Could walk to the Cathedral and The Apex theatre. Pretty well equipped for our two nights stay. Liked having two TVs.
