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 KingdomThere was a fault with the Wifi and TV reception in my room for 2 of the 3 nights, I stayed. This was compounded by the poor mobile signal which meant I could not use internet or watch TV. All was fine on the 3rd night once the problem was fixed. Breakfast a 9am is a little too late for me. However, I asked for and was provided breakfast at 8:45 on the last morning to help me to catch my train home. I would like breakfast around 8am usually but appreciate it is difficult to get staff in early.
Room was comfortable and suited my needs. A good filling breakfast. Located conveniently close to the city centre.

United KingdomWas hoping for a good view but our window looked at a wall, (not the end of the world)also the toilet window was half all clear glass, it was only a small window but had surrounding apartments so felt a little uncomfortable.
It was cosy and relaxed atmosphere. The shower was great. Breakfast was lovely. Everything was there for our short stay.

United KingdomThe room was quite cold, but we understand that the weather this week has been chilly. Also the corridors are quite hard to navigate with how tight they are, but you get used to it after a day or so.
The location was fabulous, staff were happy and helpful. The room was a nice size and had everything we needed.

United KingdomThe room was quite cold and the heater didn't work. There was a patch of dampness near the window so that likely contributed.
The room looked very nice, was perfect as somewhere just to lay your head. Separate toilet and shower rooms.

United KingdomEverything was great apart from the bed size. It was a double and we struggled to move around (only because we have a super kingsize at home) and the only other thing was there was no blind in the toilet, with other windows around, that might be an option. Otherwise great.
It's a cool little bar/hotel in the centre of York. Perfect quirky little bar. Will definitely be revisting.

United KingdomThere was a band on the Friday night with our room being directly above it, so pretty loud.. but decent music and they finished by 11. If we'd not been full of cold we'd have gone downstairs and joined in. Would just have been nice to have been given a heads up before arrival
Stunning room and great en suite facilities. Staff were so very friendly and helpful, tasty breakfast. Overall a great stay
