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 KingdomRoom was a bit rough around the edges and could do with a few jobs doing. TV was needed to be re tuned when we first arrived.
Friendly staff and fantastic breakfast spread, room was a good size and included an iron, ironing board and hair dryer. Ideal location to use the park and ride in to york center.

United KingdomThe double beds are the size of a postage stamp.
The hotel is nice and clean and the staff are very welcoming upon arrival. Checking in was painless. The bar and restaurant areas are clean and spacious. The room was clean, and the bath towels were lovely n fresh. The best breakfast buffet I've ever had.

United KingdomThe bathroom felt a little cramped.
The location of the hotel is excellent. We were able to get the bus into York and also to Whitby - The bus stop is very close to the hotel and it was only £2.00 per person per bus ride. We were able to park the car at the hotel. The breakfast was very good and the staff at he reception was very helpful (especially Joe).

United KingdomAll the pillows are very hard and the mattress wasn't comfortable to sleep at all. Food (both dinner and breakfast) were terrible. I can not recommend that dinner to anyone. Too expensive and very bad dinner.
Staff was very nice and friendly. Especially, the morning staff at the welcome desk were very helpful. Room was clean and spacious for a room at Holiday inn

United KingdomBathroom a little small but lovely walk in shower. Quality of some of the breakfast products not great (bread, sausages)
Good value hotel on the edge of York with several bus routes into York - best not to drive in. Quiet hotel with no noise from neighboring rooms, corridor or surroundings. Standard room but comfortable bed and good lighting. Breakfast wide ranging and regularly replenished so hot food is not sat on the hotplate for too long.

United KingdomRoom was tired and needed updating. Decor was falling off walls. Room could have been a little bit cleaner. Bathroom was tiny!! Could just about squeeze past the sink to get in and shut the door!! We had our dog with us, we took her to breakfast with us and we had to sit in bar area which was fine but the seating arrangements were awful. The chairs were so low you couldn't get comfortable to eat your food at the table, you had to sit perched on the end of a lounging chair!! I'd reccomend the hotel change the seating to proper dining chairs and tables to allow guests with pets to be able to eat their meals comfortably and practically!!
Staff were so lovely and friendly from the beginning of our stay to the end. Breakfast was lovely. First time visiting York, ut was absolutely stunning, well definitely be back to see more but would probably look at staying at a better hotel, there was nothing specifically wrong with it, just down to value for money for us at the time of booking and location. The hotel can get you a taxi/uber very quickly. My 2 year old fell poorly and we needed calpol, hotel reception didn't have any and the machine in hotel reception didn't sell any, had to get a taxi quickly to tesco down the road late at night.

United KingdomThe toothpaste in a sachet was a bit odd.
We arrived very early from a terrible overnight coach journey from London. The night manager (I forgot his name ) was very kind and helped us check in early. We were a bit late for breakfast however it looked like there was a lot of good choices, something for everyone. We only stayed over one night but everyone we encountered from evening to night staff was lovely. Thank you.

United KingdomThe hotel was somewhat shabby and"tired". The exterior didn't look particularly welcoming - needed refurbishment as did the rooms - curtains hanging at different lengths; mastic around shower tray needed replacing. The room was clean but "tired". The photos on Booking. com are extremely misleading, showing roomy bathrooms which are extremely small and "tight" to move in and an exterior taken at nighttime. A daytime photo would never have looked the same! Frozen fruit for breakfast was extremely sour - fresh fruit would have been a better option!
Staff were helpful and polite.
