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 KingdomAt self service breakfast was excellent except that the hot drinks were out of a machine rather than brought to the table. A minor problem, personal preference 😊
Beautiful place, it was an oasis for us in a very busy schedule. Lovely atmosphere and the staff were very helpful and friendly. The buffet breakfast was excellent with a great choice of food.

Fantastic room facilities with superb bathroom. The bar staff even made a snack on late arrival even though the kitchen had closed by then - definitely above and beyond for service. Plenty of choice for breakfast and the tables are well spaced so that you are not crowded out by other guests.

The property was modern, very clean, staff very welcoming, it was lovely having some of the old fashioned values like, being shown to our room, asking if we needed help with our luggage, explaining how everything works in our room. The young lady on reception was so lovely

United KingdomWe had requested ground floor rooms due to our daughter's spinal condition. We received written confirmation of this. On arrival, we had been allocated first floor rooms. However, we were immediately moved to adjoining ground floor rooms.
Top notch. Friendly, helpful staff. The attention from Carl and Marie was second to none. Loved our breakfasts at Tykes. Staff were attentive and pleasant, including the busy chef.

United KingdomThe only negative was that there was a bit of rubbish under the desk in the room which must have been missed when the room was cleaned. Apart from that though the room was spotless.
I was very impressed with the stay we had at Sandburn Hall. The room was lovely, and the breakfast was absolutely delicious. The location was perfect for getting the Park and Ride into York too.

United KingdomThe bed was awful, just awful. I don't know if the bed needs a topper to smooth it out, but was SO bumpy/lumpy. Woken up by next door having a shower - why could we hear that?? it was so loud, as if it was in our own bathroom.
The location was amazing, and the restaurant superb
