Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United KingdomThe food service
Only had a bacon butty for breakfast, was ok. Ordered some side orders on the day of arrival. Half of them went to another table, when asked if we was getting some more, as the other table ate them, waitress replied I'll have to ask. We eventually got some more

United KingdomThe noise from the pub below was a bit much and also people walking through the cut through, but it was a Saturday night and once I’d shut the window it did drown out a bit of the noise
When I first arrived all I wanted was a hot shower and to unwind after a very cold and wet motorbike ride.the first room I was given was clean and presentable but unfortunately there was an issue with the shower,(a previous guest had knocked of a dial from a radiator which I think was what caused the issue, not the hotels fault as such) running it for 10mins there was no hot water at all, I went down to speak to the staff behind the bar and they checked the boiler room but no joy, so I was moved to another room, I’d paid for a single room and they upgraded me to a double, and yes the shower in the double room was more than adequate for my needs, I needed 3 showers before I’d even warmed up properly. No food available on site but there was a shop conveniently located directly opposite the hotel so I was able to go across and get some sandwiches to eat as I didn’t want to eat out elsewhere and also being able to get a cold beer and take it back to the room from the pub below the hotel was great, ideal location to park my motorbike bike though so wasn’t concerned about the safety of it through the night

United KingdomMy expectations were low but the booking had a bed and a shower . Arrived into the middle of a rock disco no worries as enjoyed the music. Was welcomed shown to my room and once through the door to the rooms , it was clear that there had been a recent refurb . It was clean and the carpet was new , room was a single but spacious enough and the shower had hot water and was easy to understand. Had a curry with friends off premises but returned for a couple of pints of well kept landlord afterwards. All in all a great stay with good value for money

United KingdomNo complaints. Above a pub, some noise but that's from outside, but it's stopped when the pub closes. No breakfast option (downstairs doesn't open until 11) but possible in the centre.
Convenient for local bus from station, there's a new Howden – Goole minibus (currently, you don't have to walk from the station) Staff friendly. Short walk to the centre & shops. Comfortable bed.

FranceIt didn't really bother me, as I zoned out reading my book, but the evening I stayed there was a band playing and it was quite noisy.
For me, the location was great as I was visiting family in Howden. If going to Howden by train be aware, it is quite a walk from the station along a mainly unlit country road. I was fortunate to be picked up by my son and taken to the hotel. At the hotel, the staff were great, very friendly and helpful. The room was well equipped with coffee and tea making facilities, toiletries, good quality bedding and towels and it was very clean.

United KingdomThe shower could be improved. It was fine for a quick wash but not great for washing hair. Better water pressure or a new shower attachment might help.
The staff were friendly and welcoming. The room was clean and comfortable, and the on-site parking was also great.

New ZealandShower head didn't work well but had a bath. Bit noisy but it was Friday and Saturday. Extractor fan was more annoying actually.
Old pub with done up room. Very cosy and old fashioned in keeping with the pub. Comfy bed and had a bath cos the shower didn't work as well. For the price it was fair and nice little village to explore and recommended good eating places nearby, as not much on offer at the pub. Read the comments before booking as you get what you pay for.
