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 KingdomThe stairs were a little steep but that’s nothing that can be helped, still a wonderful stay and would highly recommend!
Was clean and had a lot of facilities and things to use in the room which was extremely helpful. Best sleep I have had while staying away somewhere. Would definitely stay here again.

United KingdomRoom cosy but very small with double bed to wall meaning the person by the wall could not exit the bed without disturbing the other. Only one chair for two. That said, it worked out absolutely fine.
Very clean with good facilities and clever use of small space. Everything we needed.

NetherlandsNothing. It was exactly as described. It is indeed very small, so if you want to chill in it during the day it is may too small for 2 people.
Small but very nice place for a short stay. Good for exploring the city or staying over before taking a ferry at Harwich. Would stay again if I need to travel in Colchester again

United KingdomAs with all small rooms, a deep clean is occasionally needed. There was a family with a small child upstairs that you could hear running around. It wasn’t too bad but would get annoying if it went on for longer.
Great location. Very close to the train station and a short walk into town. A parking space outside. Pet friendly.

United KingdomI can not think of any think negatives.
We found the bed very comfortable, the bathroom was very large and very clean, the only comment I would make is one of the sinks drain hole was a bit rusty and took the look away from the otherwise superb bathroom.the over all family room was better then we expected, large and not crowded, the drinks in the fridge was a very welcoming touch. You had all that was needed , iron and board, fan and heater , plenty of space to hang your things up. Tea coffee sugar ,milk and even some biscuits. We thought the price was very very good for all that was provided. We did not expect to see any body as it was self checking which we found very easy but we spoke to a young man who was very helpful, house keeping came and she was very helpful as well. If we are ever down to Colchester the Railway Sleeper would be the one we would book into.

United KingdomThe fridge was noisy and kept me awake. The bed base was grubby and could do with replacing or having a valance sheet covering it and the pink net curtains are very tacky.
It was functional and close to the city centre with off road parking and value for money.

United KingdomYou could have a cab service from the station to the lodge 😁 I'm joking. Off the top of my head I can't think of anything.
The room was actually bigger than I expected, hygiene was very high. I've never stayed in a self check-in before, but I liked how it works. The facilities were good, almost home away from home and the privacy was welcomed. Also the proximity to the Colchester train station is excellent.
