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’s nothing not to like. Could just do with a bit of maintenance as it’s looking quite sad and tired
I love the Bank House and stayed many times before. A great location for the town. Met friends and family and went to a show at the Corn Exchange. Little has changed over the years but the staff are always welcoming and accommodating. Great breakfast too

United KingdomNo issues whatsoever, would definitely return if we were in kings lynn.
Lovely spot, a very nice historic building, tastefully styled. The breakfast was delicious, great ingredients and well cooked. We stayed in custom house room, very spacious and comfortable, the bath was a lovely size for relaxing in. The parking situation is pretty easy to navigate, so it certainly shouldn't put you off.

United KingdomThe location is perfect, the bank house will blow your mind away, historically the place is filled with fabulous features that grips you in all its curiosity, instantly, thus comforted by the timeless buildings that surround it, exploring the pier or cutting and winding through the narrow streets is just pure tranquillity, worth every penny! The breakfast served was quite possibly the best full English fry up I have eaten in a long time. All the staff we're very helpful throughout. Wonderful.

United KingdomThe only downside - and it's a minor one - is the limited car parking. Given that this is a grand historic building, in a stunning riverside location, in the middle of the old, cobbled streets quarter of Kings Lynn it's not that surprising that parking isn't right on the doorstep. (And it would be criminal to ruin the look and feel of this unique area of Kings Lynn by turning it into a car park.)
The hotel has a fascinating history and beautiful architecture, combined with modern comforts and tastefully contemporary decor and facilities. The service was friendly and attentive - the manager and his team worked well together, nothing was too much trouble. The food was superb - we had a delicious evening meal, and the choice and quality (and quantity for that matter) at breakfast was far better than anywhere else I've stayed in recent years. All in all a great location for a special celebration or a relaxing holiday. And so close to everywhere of interest in Kings Lynn too - right in the heart of the old town.

United KingdomOne minor point that could have been improved for sight impaired people or other people with disabilities would be having a fob for the main door rather than a key to make getting in easier when it was locked.
There was a nice relaxed atmosphere and the service was very attentive. The location was excellent to explore Kings Lynn. The fact that we could bring the dogs was great.

The Breakfast was incredible. All options were delicious, it was hard to choose. The coffee would be rated at 20 out of 10 it was that good. Fresh orange juice wonderful bread toasted with good butter and we chose Marmalade as a topping. We arrived on Bank Holiday at 7pm so parking was free on the Quay until 8am next morning. When going to pay at the meter we discovered that the first hour was free, so parking on the Quay outside the hotel cost us absolutely nothing. A lot of Councils should copy Kings Lynn's generosity.
