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 KingdomIt would have been helpful to have had instructions on how yo use the coffee machine. The pillows, they were a little 'lumpy', but everything else was fantastic!
The hotel had a lovely ambiance. The communal areas were lovely, including the outdoor areas.

AustraliaI found the room cool and the thermostat did not seem to work, however when I spoke to reception they were able to adjust remotely. Nothing else comes to mind
Location was perfect, a little stroll into town so was quiet at night. The room was small but comfortable which was what I paid for. The pictures did not do the property justice as it is actually much prettier. Lots to do in York and all within walking distance. The staff were informative and lovely, helping in any way they can. Special shout out to Karine on reception who was just wonderfully helpful.

United KingdomThe checking in should run smoothly and they should know what the quest have already paid for. Taking to long to check in
I was questioned about paying my breakfast. I told them when i phoned that i paid my breakfast with my booking. When i arrived. They kept saying i need to pay for breakfast when i told them i already paid. They need to check thier system when checking people in and out. I had the same problem when checking out.

United KingdomThere was nothing too bad. However I must mention my encounter with the hotel on the morning I checked into the hotel. I tried to walk into the breakfast room (I was not having breakfast) to inform my colleagues that our pick-up transport had arrived and was waiting outside. I was verbally attacked by, I believe, a senior member of their team. Maybe a manager/chef. He kept telling me to sit outside which I refused to do. I was treated like a naughty child. Then he was expressing his anger with the receptionist, saying and I quote. “The breakfast room is not a meeting room” I honestly thought I had walked onto a sketch of Faulty Towers. It was incredible. Personally I have never known anything like it ever before!!
It was a convenient location with car-parking spaces available.

United KingdomOur rooms were in what felt like a modern extension which has its pros and cons - rooms very modern and our rooms looked out onto a not very inspiring, unpretty car park and road but it was very quiet at least and not too much of an issue - the old building does make you think it will like that throughout but it isn’t.
It was a peaceful oasis from the bustling streets of York - 10 minute walk from most places of interest - not right in the middle but also easy to access to the station. Garden was beautiful and impeccably maintained
