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.).

2nd floor onto of pub, but clientele very quiet! Beautiful Riverside location easy walking to all tourist destinations. A little shabby (stained carpets, scuffed furniture, lampshades and skirting boards dusty) but overall a great place to stay, staff very helpful and would certainly return. Kettle with tea and coffee provided, also ironing board and iron. No hairdryer so just remember to bring your own!

United KingdomIt did mention in the blurb about possible noise in the evening and Lil's pub shuts at 9pm. However, next door's pub has later opening and there is a night club three doors away with music until 2 am. ( This was on the Friday and Saturday). Its not a problem if you are out and about late yourself but for an earlier night's sleep to be mindful.
Location was ideal to get into heart of York and sightseeing. The riverside views lovely. There was facilities for breakfast next door, but we went elsewhere for a cheaper alternative. The staff were cheerful and helpful anytime we had a request i.e.no lift to the bedrooms so the staff carried up the suitcase.

ChileSome Shabby furnishings (torn curtain, frayed towels) and feeble WIFI (couldn’t stream video, iPlayer or Zoom at all), two broken bedside lamps, breakfast irrelevantly late (from 10am?). One totally quiet night but one noisy one until 3am (obviously not the fault of the staff, but worth thinking about.
Good double glazing, good size comfortable room, with a big wardrobe. Great location for station and town centre. Pleasant view of the river.

United KingdomAlthough apparently new, shower cycled between cold and too hot, which made showering tricky. Drinking areas downstairs on mid-summer's eve posed usual problem: open (excellent triple-glazed) windows and loud noise, or closed and stuffy.
Very clean, spacious bedroom and en suite shower room. Central location. Friendly service.

United KingdomOur room was awful... we had no windows and no air con so it was like sleeping in a box - very uncomfortable as it was very hot the weekend we stayed. if I would have known it had no windows and no air con i wouldnt have booked it. Maybe we were unlucky with the room that weekend.... but sadly we wouldnt stay here again as the room wasnt great at all.
The location was great and the food was great too. The 15% off all food and drink was good too. The staff were really lovely.
