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 KingdomIt's very run down inside and out. It needs a lot of work to bring it up to a reasonable standard. My single room was tiny and very basic. Door handle falling off the bathroom door and the door to the room was very difficult to unlock. No facility in the room to make yourself a drink, which should pretty much be the norm these days. I didn't bother with breakfast after reading previous reviews.
Bed was comfortable and location convenient for Papworth Hospital

United KingdomThe breakfast was only salad and a couple of bits of fruits. We was expecting a cooked breakfast so ended up skipping breakfast and had to go elsewhere.
It was spacious and good family room.

United KingdomBreakfast was a bit of a disappointment. Not the best continental breakfast. I like a decent coffee but all that was on offer was instant Maxwell House.. which was pretty vile .. so invest in a coffee\tea maker as a start.
Its a budget hotel , its clean and decent location for staying in the area. It could do with a spritz up for sure but cant complain for what you pay. Did find it annoying that my private bathroom was in another room which is not great for me. I have a number of medical problems and found it an issue.. thankfully there was a sink in my room.. !! Did not help having some idiot upstairs getting drunk and thinking it fun to smash the glass on a fire alarm.. which could happen to any place you stay in.

United KingdomBasic facilities, bathroom was outside the room and was so dirty had fully greased dirty mat on and shower looked so bad had all limescale on, I could not shower and used the toilet with much difficulty due to the mat on floor as it was not bearable. Single bed was not very comfortable. It was looking like a dorm or student accomodation.
Location was good for a course. Price was okay. Parking good. Directions was easy check in was smooth. Had a sink inside the room where I washed my face. Small kitchenette, fridge and heater was in the room, study desk and wardrobe.

United KingdomBreakfast facilities shall we say looked unappetising, poor & very basic. No coffee or tea facilities in room. Only x1 towel provided between the 2 of us. Toilet seat lid broken & left on floor beside toilet. No bathroom sink plug. Bed so uncomfortable due to worn mattress, we had to sleep from the foot-end & although we found 2 spare pillows there were no pillowcases. Wish we could find a plus, but we can't. All round, very, very basic. Disappointed as we regularly go through Booking. Com but this has been such a huge let down.
Location good.

United KingdomThe shower had dirt in the tray. When I used the shower it was either burning hot or scolding hot there was no way to regulate the water. The net curtains had holes. Dust behind the headboard. Chips out of the furniture and the laminate had brown stuff to hold the ripped bit together. The sink was spotless. The bed was comfortable. The phone number is disconnected so you can’t call them. I tried to call but it wouldn’t connect. I emailed and still have had no reply 4 days later.

United KingdomHaving a toilet/shower room opposite the room, which although it was for my personal use, it was used by others despite this. It was advertised as personal bathroom, so I assumed it would be ensuite. The hand wash was taken by someone else, so I had no soap. There was no tea or coffee making facilities in the room. Take your own soap for a shower.
The bed was comfier than I thought it would be.
