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 KingdomIt is tired decor and furniture in patches, but it is good value for money for York (cheaper than the Travelodge when we stayed!) so we weren’t too bothered.
Super well located, just a 5/7 min drive into York, or near the park and ride buses. It was super clean, both in public areas and in our room. Our bed was super comfy! Breakfast was delicious, and plentiful (£12 when bought the night before), and staff friendly and helpful.

United KingdomThe room looked a little tired in places. The windows didn’t lock and were difficult to use and the bathroom could do with a revamp. We stayed with an elderly relative who decided she wanted breakfast one morning. The receptionist said she couldn’t pay for breakfast this morning as we hadn’t booked the night before. She went without breakfast . “Rules are rules”. Doh.
The staff were friendly and accommodating.

SpainThe room 119 was quite hot (there was no heating on) the bedside tables? were behind you so not easily accessible & therefore the bedside lights were standard lamps which you could only switch off by getting out of bed. The bath, being very deep, needs a grab rail for safety, the ones on the bath are too low for elderly people in fact walk - in showers would be more suitable nowadays also the sink needs a proper fixed plug & a trap across the hole. It was nice to have a fridge but it needs to be on a table or something but not on the floor.
Breakfast was fine plenty to choose from. The dinner menu was very restricted for myself. Staff were very attentive. It was great having the bus stop across the road..

United KingdomIt is in desperate need of the rooms being updated, the cold water for the sink smelt like sewage or that it was coming from the river and for me that made it un drinkable, no air con in my room, which is fine for May but I can imagine it would get really hot in the summer months.
The building itself looks lovely on approach and the lobby area and bar was nice as well.

Breakfast good, but more labels would help on yoghourt for instance. And for someone who rarely stays in hotels, more staff around at breakfast to show how the various machines work and possibly help carry cups, bowls, plates.
