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 KingdomAccessible twin rooms were small so hard to navigate in a big electric wheelchair, also while the beds were really really comfortable, they were so high they were extremely difficult to get into.
The wheelchair accessible bathroom was really good and the breakfasts were the best I've ever had anywhere, also the beds were very comfortable. The location was good and if you are a blue badge holder you can park for free for unlimited time on any of the nearby streets within residents parking areas. Lobby smelt glorious, wish the rooms smelt the same!

United KingdomThe staff we met were pleasant enough but, we felt, not outwardly welcoming. We felt awkward sitting in the restaurant on our first night and no staff said hello or came to take our order. We were the only ones in the restaurant at the time.in fact we felt so awkward we left after fifteen minutes and ate elsewhere . I hope this was just an unfortunate moment for us all , as the staff at breakfast next day were really nice and friendly.
We really liked the city location, we were able to find all the places we wanted to visit easily from the hotel. Our room was lovely . Everywhere was clean and fresh and the bed very comfortable

United KingdomNothing noteworthy to point out.
Very central and quiet location. Staff was very well trained, professional and friendly. Room and bathroom were modern and clean, had all the amenities and small touches, very nice York-themed decor. Really enjoyed the York chocolate bar. Breakfast buffet was also good, with the option to order coffee and hot food from the menu. From the price we got, one of the best hotels I've stayed in, really good value. Would come back again.

United KingdomThe sign went up in reception "car park now full" a couple of times and when I returned from a trip out, maybe 5 O'clock, I sqeezed in to one last space, that maybe wasn't even a legitimate space. My dislike is that after paying in advance I would have expected a guaranteed parking spot. It suggested to me that the hotel over sells spaces, there are only 30-31 spots.
The Breakfast selection was very good and as I always have the full breakfast I can confirm that I was very happy with the "Full Yorkshire" black pudding and gorgeous sausages especially. The room was a great, the bed very comfy and the cherry on the top, was a beautiful shower, always expected but so welcome when the hotel delivers. EXCELLANT location, the street the hotel is in leads straight in to the main centre, the first junction after a 5 minute walk is the Whip-Ma-Whop-Ma-Gate sign post and Shambles. But even on this short walk, there are so many great places to eat and such a selection.
