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 use a weighted review system which means that 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 KingdomStaff very helpful, offering to hold bag for us on the last day, and offering advice on how to get around easily. Room was overall clean and in good condition. Location was great, right behind the museum gardens which is lovely to walk through, which then gives access to the city centre.

United KingdomWhen we were checking out we didn't like the way a manager spoke to a member of the house keeping team in front of guests, it was clear there was a house keeping shortage he was very abrupt with the staff & rude in front of us. The girl asked cant you help, he replied im not house keeping im a manager as if it was beneath him. We didn't feel it was good or professional especially coming from a manager.
The hotel is brilliant & in a very good location we love it.

United KingdomMaybe a room n the first floor or on the back
The receptionist and staff around were all pleasant and greeted us with a smile and had a general chat. The location was about 10-15 minutes from the train centre the same to the centre, lovely walk through the gardens too. We didn’t have breakfast this was an optional extra. Are room was on the front very well equipped, warm and spacious. It was a little noisy at times when some people walked past and the odd car, however we heard an owl which was lovely! Overall enjoyed our stay and would like to come back when next in York

United KingdomAs we were on the top floor, it was warmer than we would have liked. However, a fan was provided which helped make us more comfortable. We also chose not to have the breakfast because it seemed quite expensive.
It was very clean and comfortable and the staff were very friendly and helpful. The location is also great for access to central York. We had a lovely stay and certainly would consider booking here again!

United StatesSee above & I would have appreciated a voucher for breakfast as opposed paying for my own.
My room on days 2 & 3 of my stay was lovely. The room I stayed in on day 1 was tiny & uncomfortably hot. I could have used a better fan as the weather was quite warm. The staff was very helpful. The shower floors are quite slippery, and therefore dangerous. I was very grateful that you made a rubber mat available for use in the shower in my second, larger, more expensive room. I would suggest that you make them available in every room to avoid accidents.

Lovely old world building very tastefully renovated. Close to the centre of tow and a great pub a few doors down. Room had fully stocked mini bar fridge at reasonable prices. Shower was huge and amazing.
