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 KingdomBecause of ongoing renovations it was necessary to exit the hotel and then re-enter into the dining area. This was not ideal when it was raining.
The staff, in particular at breakfast, were very engaging and helpful.

United KingdomThe door on the ensuite didn't close properly.
Joseph was very professional, attentive, and helpful, especially under the current circumstances they are having to deal with! The young lady (sorry didn't get her name) who had the unenviable task of seating guests for breakfast, was also professional yet apologetic for the complete chaos she had to deal with. The rooms were clean, beds were comfortable and the showers were strong and hot... perfect! The hand wash, shower gel and shampoo was gorgeous...wish I could remember the company!

United KingdomThe grassed outside areas were in dire need of attention - there are seating areas but you couldn't use them The bar & restaurant prices seemed a bit steep
Good breakfast choices & well organised considering the main restaurant was shut for a refurbishment at the time of our visit. The location is ideal - just out of the city but a short bus ride to ask the sights. Great position for the race course

United KingdomTheee was work going on in the reception which we new about when booking but it was a bit confusing to find the check in desk. Breakfast was very busy and we had to queue for a seat .
It was on the bus route straight into the centre of York. We walked in as it was a sunny day. The breakfast was lovely and we had a good night's sleep.

United KingdomSmall bathroom/ door being problem getting in and out. Noise from neighbours in the next room playing loud music but didn't want to complain as this would have caused more problems.
Within 20 minutes walking distance of the city and on a bus route. Great for the racecourse just a short walk. The rooms were a good size. The food was good, every night I tried something different and the staff at the restaurant were really good morning and night.

United KingdomEven though there was work getting done on the premises, it never bothered us at all. It never interfered with our stay. The restaurant was absolutely lovely, food was delicious.
I liked location, all the staff we spoke too were really helpful, especially the young man in the restaurant, he helped with what buses we needed to town centre, he served us with food and drink, asked us how we were and asked if there was anything else we needed. Very nice manners. Even though

United KingdomThe hotel is having some renovation work done on the reception area until July but this doesn't really impact on your stay.
We had a lovely stay at the Holiday Inn. The premium room we had on the 4th floor was spacious and clean. All the staff were very friendly and welcoming. The buffet breakfast was ample with a good selection. The location of this hotel was brilliant and the car parking is free, we actually left the car there and got the bus into the city centre, it stops right opposite. Would definitely stay again.

ItalyThe structure needs to be refurbished, as it is a little dated. If you have kids around 12yh, and you take a 4 people room, sofa bed is not comfortable enough.
Big hotel, large and nice bar downstairs with some entertainment and tools for kids. Very good breakfast as well.
