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 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):
- 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.).

Verified reviewFreshly cooked breakfast, great location for us and living above a pub. What’s not to like about all that? We even extended our stay another night it was so good.
One of our rooms had a low ceiling which was a bit of a problem for over 6 foot people. In fact, it meant the shower over the bath was more or less impossible for them to use but we loved the spa bath so no massive inconvenience overall.

Verified reviewThe pub is lovely, in a beautiful village. The team were one of the most friendly and accommodating I've ever met, exceptional! The restaurant food was also excellent. Clean and comfortable. The room was spacious and everything we needed.
Unfortunately on the Friday several items were not available on the menu however, on Saturday the manager went out of her way to address this. The chef on Saturday made up for this slight issue as it was the best cooked sea bass I'd ever had!

We only learnt on arrival that the restaurant was closed two nights a week, we were very disappointed.

Verified reviewBeautiful little inn, very nicely decorated. Lovely room and fantastic location if you are wanting to visit York or Thirsk. Facilities were great and the room was very clean. Comfortable bed.
Not the warmest of welcomes, stared at by locals when we walked in, the man behind the bar not very polite or welcoming. Unfortunately, this made the beginning of our stay feel quite awkward. Also, upon leaving, there were no staff around to see us leave.

Verified reviewClean and tidy with a welcoming feel. Very comfy bed with coffee, tea and biscuits for free along with local bottled water. Staying in a room with shower and bath. Food was excellent along with helpful and very polite staff. Great stay
Being over 6 foot tall the shower in the bath was cramped and the beam was perfect for banging your head on. Left early on the morning (7.15am) and no one on site to hand your key over to.

Verified reviewReally friendly, helpful staff. The food was delicious, both breakfast and the evening meal. and the room was very clean and comfortable. The spa bath was amazing and really spacious. We were pleasantly surprised to find live entertainment was on on the night of our stay, I did worry that it may be noisy in our room but actually the act ended at 10pm and it was quiet by 10.30. We'd definitely go again.
Can't really fault the place.
