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 KingdomGetting hot water for the bath/sink was something of a lottery and could take an eternity to arrive when it was available. I tried booking an evening meal on our first night several days before arriving, but the restaurant was already fully booked!
A hotel with enough parking on-site is a rarity these days, but we were always able to park every day after returning from trips out! An old hotel with plenty of character and interesting decor. A hotel that suits the more mature guest!

United KingdomDidn't have a view from our window only roof sky lights. This wasn't mentioned in the room advertisement at the time of booking. Didn't like the automatic addition of the service charge in the restaurant and bar lounge. Although you can take it off it should remain at the customers discretion.
Great location for town centre. Nice surroundings in bar and lounge areas. Nice to have biscuits in the room

United KingdomOur room on the top floor was clean and comfortable with a lovely big bathroom. However, impossible to sit up in bed (my treat to myself on holiday watching tv) due to the sloped roof. Maybe think about reconfiguring the room layout
Loved the central location which was walkable to everything... Staff were really friendly and helpful, breakfast was excellent and freshly cooked

United KingdomThe single room only had a padded desk chair I would have liked an easy chair to sit and relax in. The tv remote had a intermittent power button.
Both single and double rooms were clean and tidy, the beds comfortable. Breakfast was excellent. The hotels central location is perfect as a base to explore Harrogate.

United KingdomBed was lumpy and obviously needed replacing in our room. A little drab for our tastes; the room needed some cheerfulness adding to it

United KingdomWhen I booked the room there was an option to include dinner for an additional £40, which I included on the presumption this would show a saving on the menu price. I could have bought the same three-course meal on the day for £27.50, which was disappointing. Lesson learnt, investigate the full facilities before adding extras. There was no toilet brush in the bathroom, the sink plug did not hold water, the passenger lift takes longer to arrive than it takes to walk up three flights of stairs and there is no indicator as to which floor it’s on. No mention on booking that parking on site is first come, first served and charged at £10 extra per day.
Older, traditional hotel in nice grounds in a quiet location close enough to town centre for access, with all the essential facilities and pleasant staff. Room was very tidy and clean. Dinner was better quality than expected, however, not plentiful. Breakfast was average quality but plentiful. Ample parking on site, albeit that the overflow parking is 50 yards up a steep hill.

United KingdomThe bed. It’s OK to have the headboard fixed to the wall but with a wobbly bed on wheels, the 2 separate when you sit up in bed as the bed rolls forward and you fall into the gap. Not comfortable.
Location, lawn at front, parking, room, recent carpet and decoration investment. I hope the investment continues as features such as the rotting window frames need attention too.

Disappointed with the room as Mr Day is disabled and the ensuite was very tight for me too. The Swan always a pleasure to stay as the staff and food are good. We appreciate that every effort is made to get us on a floor with no steps as a mobility scooter has to be used. Always an enjoyable stay
