How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Nothing.
Property is neat and tidy. But the main thing is the location. Just outside the old city walls, a few minutes from Shambles, York Minster and many other attractions. Also the parking is right opposite the unit. A fantastic place. Ruth has been awesome to deal with. Understanding and flexible.

An anti- slip mat in the shower was the only thing which would have been good to have had, otherwise there was everything you could possibly want.
The studio apartment was immaculate. Not a large space but very well designed so everything there you needed. Bed really comfortable. Nice to be able to sit outside on the patio. Very close to a Sainsbury's local, so easy to get provisions. Very quiet, and yet you are very close to the city. Easy to get to from the train station. Ruth provided a 'goody bag' of local York produce which was very welcome and delicious. Lovely shower.

Maybe the privacy of the courtyard could be better by having a higher fence but it’s definitely not a deal breaker and was a nice space to have.
Great location. Great parking option. Great studio apartment with everything you need. Very clean and comfortable.

There wasn't anything I didn't like.
You could not fault this apartment! Immaculately clean, and beautifully furnished. Very quiet, and secure entrance. Has a gorgeous private courtyard space to enjoy morning coffee or evening drinks! Has everything you need, plus some real home comfort touches. Ruth, the host, was amazing with her communication and provided everything we needed. Parking was perfect. Access to EV charger was easy. The location is superb! Shops for any food/drink essentials are at the end of the road. Walk 5 minutes around the corner and you are at York Minster and some amazing restaurants. Will definitely return and would recommend to anyone.

Everything. The car parking was what appealed to me when I was looking for somewhere to book, along with the location. The apartment it's self had everything you could need. The apartment was really quiet which I was glad about, to say it's close to the main road/town centre

Hadn't realised that many of Yorks attractions - e.g. museums and art galleries closed on Mondays (which was our last day in York and we'd saved them for last)!
Excellent helpful host. Lovely apartment situated a few minutes walk from everything on offer in York - (York Minster was absolutely amazing). Good local restaurants, pubs and Tesco/Sainsburys 'Locals'. Car parking (which came free with the apartment), was literally a few yards from the apartment.

Not one single thing.
There is nothing not to like about this property. It is absolutely fantastic with the added bonus of the little courtyard and parking. It was beautifully clean with a lovely quality of bedding, towels, and toiletries. The hosts went over and above to provide an excellent service and were on hand to contact at any time.

This apartment is a little Gem. The location was perfect for our stay.it was so quiet and secure yet only a few minutes walk to the Minster and all parts of the town. The parking is right outside the apartment in a public car park. The apartment was spotless and very well equipped. The apartment is compact but the quality of the furniture and fittings make up for this. We would definitely stay at this apartment again as our first choice.

Great Apartment, very clean, comfortable, everything you need for a short stay cation, enjoyed sitting out the garden area just relaxing in private, 2min walk into the centre of York and attractions. The free parking was massive bonus. Host gave every bit of information required which perfect and had no reason to contact them during our stay.
