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 KingdomNothing - it was all great!
Great location - easily walkable into the centre of York. Beautiful, spacious property, immaculately clean. Plentiful, good quality kitchen equipment and all basics like tea, coffee, condiments provided - really helpful for a short stay. Julie was a friendly, helpful host - check in and out was easy and the welcome gift was lovely, thank you!

United KingdomEnough space for the 5 of us, great location and the parking was a bonus. Communication from the owner and the offer of arriving early and parking the car up and leaving it after we'd checked out was welcome.

United KingdomBeing picky - a king or super-king bed in the master bedroom would have topped off an already amazing house. Unfortunately we found that the internet was not reliable though-out the property. As we were there to mainly explore York we managed, so again didn't detract from a great house.
It was very spacious, light, warm, welcoming. Practical - 3 toilets, space for everyone, well equipped kitchen and off street parking all a plus. It was very well kept and the greeting from the owner was very welcoming and helpful. Overall just a great place for a family.

United KingdomThe only "complaint" was that the wifi didn't reach consistently through the entire property. But that was a minor point only.
Great location only 10 minutes walk from the city centre. The property is really spacious, comfortably warm and with everything you want in the kitchen. There is a huge amount of space so its easy to stay as a family without feeling we were too crowded in. Off-street parking was really handy as well, although you do need to be good at reversing to get in (and then out again) safely.

GermanySpotlessly Clean! Warm and inviting-lighting and decor was very classy. Loved all the natural lighting as well during the day. Heated floors were welcome on tired feet. Towels soft and fluffy. Bedding warm and cozy. Especially loved details like touch lamps and charging ports on night stands-quality hair tools in drawer too. Bathrooms were great-spacious with window access. Kitchen perfectly equipped with nice, modern appliances. We found the location easy to walk around the city and amenities close by, but bus stop is very close to front door for those who need it. Also park across the street. Host was welcoming, informative and helpful. 100% recommend! Loved everything! No complaints!

United KingdomWe had a very pleasant stay. The apartment is spacious and nicely decorated. The concept of different levels was very useful and worked well for our family of 5. The little court yard is a nice future, although we didn't use it. The atic space was a bonus. The host is lovely and welcoming. Walking distance to the heart of York.

A quirky but practical house. A real home from home. Julie, the owner, was so welcoming - it was great to know she was just next door if needed. She keeps the place immaculate! Great location. The off road parking spot was a nice bonus.

AustraliaThere is only one minor thing that would not affect my rating. We didn't use Wi-Fi because it was not password protected, and we had a bad experience in the USA with hackers. I am sure it was safe to use here, but we were extra cautious. The cable TV was fine, so I expected the internet to be fast.
Everything. The place was large and exactly as shown in the photos, even bigger and better. It was spotlessly clean. It was modern and had all the facilities we needed. It had cable TV and great sound equipment. The location was great, only a short walk to the city. We had a free car park. The host was the most helpful and available at any time.
