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 KingdomThere was nothing not to like. It suited us down to the ground as we have family 10 mins walk away, and the bus stop into Cambridge was 6 mins walk away. Very convenient.
It was self catering, very comfortable and had everything we needed. We didn't eat/cook there at all, but it looked as though everything was there should we have wanted to, not a huge kitchen area but it looked perfectly adequate and there was a fridge available etc. Great shower!

United KingdomI shared some feedback with the hosts about the light levels at night being high. They pointed out that the lights outside the Summer House had been left on all night, so I'll know for next time. But would definitely benefit from black out curtains or blinds overall. Otherwise all perfect.
Immaculately clean. Beautiful accommodation. Quiet setting. Everything you need in a holiday let. I wish I'd had more time to appreciate and make use of it. In the heatwave, the Summer House remained beautifully cool, and it was especially nice to make use of the electric fan. Hosts were very friendly. Nice area, all 20 mph. I saw a black squirrel on the lawn opposite - never seen one before!

This property was well equipped and much thought was given for the niceties of short stay / living. The sheets were clean and self catering items were well provided for. Parking was off street and in a very residential area. Very nice general ambiance. Easy drive into town.

United KingdomThe vertical blinds on the wall to ceiling windows (facing the main property) had exposed window on each side (only around half a centimeter). Walking through the back garden of the main house to get to the property.
Lovely annex at the back of the main property. Really well equipped with a sizeable bathroom and good shower. Comfortable bed and good kitchenette. WiFi good for streaming

United KingdomOnly thing I would miss if I stayed more than a couple of nights would be an oven. Otherwise brilliant. Only minor issue as microwave and hob provided.
Location great. Easy access from the A14 and a 5 minute drive from the centre of Cambridge and it seems to be an easy bus ride too. Lovely village location - nice place to go for a run in the morning. Parking great. Very friendly and helpful hosts. Pint of milk in the fridge was great. Bedding is good quality and the shower is nice.

United KingdomQuite difficult to locate in the dark. Kitchenette was very limited - only a microwave, no hob. - this could have been clearer. if we had been ther in daylight, outlook would have been challenging as looking into owners’ property.
On the coldest days of the year it was toasty warm which was much appreciated. Furnishings were just what was needed.

BrazilNothing. Everything was nice!
The Summer House has everything one needs to spend a few days in Cambridge. It is very close to Girton College: only a 10-15min walk. And it is very close to a bus stop, so it is easy to get to the city center. Also, Mark and Jane are very nice and always very diligent! I would definitely stay in the Summer House again.

United KingdomI could have probably done with another pillow as the one provided was fairly thin, although I understand some people prefer this. I also wasn’t a fan of the artwork situated above the bed as I was anxious the heavy wooden frame was going to fall on us if accidentally knocked.
Mark was very communicative before the stay and available to contact if we needed him throughout. The house was lovely and clean and had everything we needed. It had a very homely vibe which was appreciated.

United KingdomThe only thing that could have been better was that it could have been a bit nearer to the centre of Cambridge, as 3 miles was a bit further than we wanted to walk and on Sundays the buses only came every hour. On the plus side though, at the weekend, it's a quick drive to somewhere about a mile from the centre where there is some free on-street parking. This allowed us to avoid the traffic and high parking charges in the centre.
Everything about the accommodation was very good: the bed was comfortable; the shower was better than I'm used to at home; the small kitchen area was well equipped; and everything was spotlessly clean. Our hosts were very welcoming and helpful, and the area extremely quiet, ensuring a great night's sleep. It made a nice change from the usual big faceless hotels we usually stay in, and the absence of a long traipse through a maze of corridors to get to your room was a blessing too.

Wonderful powerful shower, very clean and plenty of towels. The host was very kind and approachable and I was able to get in touch very easily via WhatsApp and phone. I appreciated the guide to the property that I was sent prior to my stay. The location is great, with safe, free parking on site and a short drive to Cambridge center. I highly recommend this lovely place, and wouldn't hesitate to stay again when visiting Cambridge.
