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 use a weighted review system which means that 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 KingdomMy room was in the attic of the old wood store. It was a little bit on the small side and was very warm.
The location of the hotel was excellent, just outside the city walls. We cycled there as a group of eight. The hotel were able to store our bikes securely overnight. They were able to look after our overnight bags which were delivered a day earlier. The hotel provided enough rooms of the right type for our party. Although an old building, the decor is lively and up to date. Breakfast was excellent.

United StatesExcellent breakfast, both cold buffet and hot cooked to order. Staff welcoming and helpful. A lovely decor that melds modern taste with medieval surroundings. In good weather, lots of outdoor seating to enjoy a drink or relax. Really enjoyed the location near the city center for all our sightseeing and traveling (5 minute walk from CBW station). The room amenities (cookies, bottled water) were upscale Smallish room, but sufficient for our purposes.

United KingdomI want to mention specifically Jodie on Reception for her patience and courtesy in providing us with a room that met our needs, particularly as we tried three rooms before finding the right one (in the Wood something annex - the building that is not adjacent to any road). Our room was very quiet. The carpark is a problem without resolution. We walked round Canterbury one day and the car stayed put. We went touring on another and couldn’t get back in. Everywhere seemed full and it took half an hour to find a parking spot leaving the car well away from the hotel.

United KingdomThe bed - it was two singles together with one sheet and when both of us were lay on one each it sort of felt like two singles rather than the double that we expected. Not as easy to move comfortably in the night as could feel the gap. We only stayed the one night but would have mentioned it if we were to have stayed more than one. Perhaps a good topper could solve this??
Copper bath was amazing in the bedroom. Loved the attick room - felt like a real escape for us which was expectly what we hoped. The decor was fab. Great attention to detail in the room, but also the hotel too. Delicious breakfast - we wish there were other meals! Staff were lovely - thank you. The gentleman at breakfast was so friendly.

United KingdomNothing the hotel could do about it, but if you're overlooking the road and a light sleeper then the bin lorries outside early in the morning could be a bit loud.
A great location close to the river and the city centre in an atmospheric, historic building, with welcoming staff, well furnished bedrooms, comfortable beds, and a great breakfast. What's not to like?
