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 bed was really hard and uncomfortable and we didn't get a good sleep. The pillows weren't comfy. Also, the lights didn't all work and there were limited sockets for charging. The shower was either boiling hot or cold. The tempered glass windows also made us feel uncomfortable using the bathroom, as people could see silhouettes of people. No extra curtain for evening privacy. Small TV in corner of room where curtains obstructed view.
The room was really nicely decorated, with a a large bathroom and modern twist. Nice view of the waterfront through the window. Layout of the room was nice.

United KingdomI attended for an interview at the university about 35 minute walk, not close to most public transport systems.
the room was quite nice, partial views of the waterfront. The location was about 12 minutes from central York. Free tv and tea station was good. Room came with recommendations for tours and restaurants/bars

United KingdomIt should be made clearer it's part of a pub and even without that it just seemed very expensive for what it was!. Room had minimal natural light and was a bit claustrophobic. The pub is on the waterfront but the rooms certainly are not.
Being on the waterfront when outside is great and the staff are friendly.

United KingdomRoom was tiny, windows blocked up, dubious stains down the walls and a really loud drip noise throughout the night to the point we had to sleep with tissue in our ears. The stairs are also very narrow and steep, especially with a suitcase. The duvet cover didn't even fit the duvet 😕
Good central location and lovely helpful staff.

United KingdomI wish they gave us more towels. A cleaner asked us would we like new towels to which me and my partner said yes to but the cleaner took away our 1 towel and replaced it with 1 towel, when there was clearly 2 of us there - but we weren't too worried.
It is in a great location down by the waterfront, and very close to town (basically in town). Handy check in process at the bar and the staff were very helpful. Room had everything we needed , and it was clean.

United KingdomShower was leaking from around tray area as floor was constantly wet, also Shower temperature was very hot and couldn't adjust it. When it was raining (all night) there was obviously a gutter leaking so it felt like Chinese torture as there was a constant loud dripping noise. More hangers required as only two in wardrobe. Room could do with a little refresh as looking a bit tired.

United KingdomThe rooms weren’t quite as up to scratch as suggested on the photos - could’ve done with some work, lamps were wonky and dusty, chair cushion was filthy and chair was very wobbly (broken), desk had lots of scratches, dents and scuffs. Bed seemed small, think it may have been a small double? Would’ve been nice if the bistro was open so we could eat breakfast, however the river flooded due to rainfall so I think it had to close due to flood risk, which I guess is understandable. Walls were a bit dirty.
Was a nice location, would definitely be better in the summer. The bistro downstairs was nice however was only open 1 of 3 days of our stay. Cheap and cheerful.
