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 bar area was quite dark with no windows. The charge for parking was expensive at £15 a night.
Our room was pleasant but quite small. It was clean and had everything we needed, Breakfast was good. The staff were all friendly and welcoming, especially Ian on reception. The beer garden was lovely with plenty of heaters at the tables for those chilly evenings. The pizzas served were delicious

United KingdomLack of bathroom storage - but that's literally all I can find fault with.
We had a family room which was a good size, by some standards of similar accommodation in York. The reception staff were all very friendly and approachable, nothing was a bother. Clean, with gorgeous toiletries, fluffy towels but a distinct lack of drawer / bathroom space for 3 people for 3 nights. Beds were comfy with fantastic sleep quality. We didn't eat breakfast as £18.95 is a lot to pay when you only have toast or a bap. I would HIGHLY recommend pizza in the garden. Easy to use table service; again lovely food and staff were lovely. Great location, highly recommended. Just wished we could have stayed longer - til next time, we will definitely be back.

United KingdomLack of information about the building’s heritage and past people …. It had a story to tell so tell it Some areas need better maintenance- the whole place has had a face lift probably a few years back but dark woodwork and walls chip and a lot of the paint work needs touching up now. No menu or information in the room For these reasons only I reduced it to 8 star rating
Gorgeous historic building Beautiful garden and relaxing atmosphere in various areas Fantastic hardheaded pizza menu Trendy style Friendly and helpful staff Excellent location- 5min walk to central York

United KingdomHaving to pay £15 a day to park seeing I was paying £250 a night for a room…. Breakfast could do with a children’s menu or rate because kids around 6 to 10 only eat half the amount an adult does just a waist of food and money.

United KingdomI would like to have more control over the room heating, as it is controlled by a main thermostat. It was not cold, but it could have been better.
Great Location, very close to the centre but also quiet. Good breakfast, professional staff and very clean. The room was very comfortable and very clean. There is a wonderful garden to enjoy your drink along with delicious wood-fired pizzas and other food. The Hotel decoration was amazing.
