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 KingdomThe plug sockets are very close to the floor which makes plugging things in difficult. Providing double adapters to help with this would be good. The beds are ok but the mattress had a dip in it, could do with replacing.
The staff were lovely and the location is also very nice and peaceful. Ideal for kids as there is a big play area attached to the hotel. The food is very nice and a reasonable price.

United KingdomThe initial greeting wasn't great as noted above, they didn't seem to have my reservation for the evening meal, however we did say that this wasn't required now.
BREAKFAST WAS LOVELY, we did try to book in about half an hour before the 3pm, the guy who greeted us wasn't very helpful, didn't seem to know what he was doing, although when we went back again he did show us to our room. A nice big room and although there was a lot of people below drinking and eating ice cream the double glazing kept the noise out

United KingdomDecor was a mix of 'bling' and old fashioned - rooms could do with a refresh
Fantastic location right on the riverside, perfect for strolls along the river and into Ilkley. We were starting the Dales Way so it could not have been a better location. Food was nice and reasonably priced and the staff were friendly. They organised a packed lunch and filled our flasks for our walk all for just £7.50. Bed was comfortable, our room was quiet and breakfast was delicious. We both slept well.

United KingdomNothing bad/negative to say about the hotel or Ilkley.
The hotel is easy to find and in a lovely location overlooking the river and park. Onsite free parking a bonus. All the staff were extremely friendly and helpful, especially the gentleman who served our meals, which were really good and reasonably priced. The hotel is ideally situated for both walking along the river bank or moors, or a 5 minute stroll into the town.
