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 KingdomNot the owner’s fault but the bus service into town is abysmal so we needed taxis. Only down side was the stained toilet , doesn’t look like it’s seen bleach or a brush for ages and needs a new seat , it really needs to be sorted.
Nice pub with a decent menu. Breakfasts were great made to order and the staff very helpful. Plenty of parking available onsite. Rooms are in an annex across the yard. Rooms are not the biggest but they are functional. Staff were kind enough to prepare a ground floor room to avoid having to negotiate any stairs. Bathroom very small but good shower.

United KingdomThe rooms felt like they needed a little more attention to cleaning and furniture layout. Some of the furniture (drawers) needed repairing. To make it more comfortable, it would have been nice to have bedside lamps and maybe a few more sockets to aid the increasing technological requirements. Seemed overstaffed in the pub and not enough in the housekeeping roles. Would recommend a review of staff role distribution
Staff were very friendly and very obliging with any requests we made. The food provided on our first night and the Sunday carvery was excellent. Proximity to the railway station was perfect for a day trip to York. Our room was very warm, spacious with plenty of storage.

United KingdomThe menu was disappointing, we would have preferred a more traditional pub food menu . For example, fish and chips, homemade dishes including steak and ale pie, cheese and onion pie, shepherd's pie; also more vegetarian friendly dishes, salads, jacket potatoes etc.
The room was spotlessly clean, very comfortable beds, staff friendly.

United StatesThe rooms were small and felt cramped. It would have helped to have a table in the middle of the twin room to put things on. Also, it would help to have hooks in the toilet and shower to put clothes on while you shower. The floor needed a good vaccum.
The staff was really wonderful and helpful. The beds were very comfortable and the shower really excellent.

United KingdomEn suite was dirty. Didn’t shower it was so bad. Scum all round the sink. Bed sheet on single bed, thankfully not used, had a big yellow stain by the pillows-didn’t investigate this further.
Room was spacious. Staff lovely, though disorganised & weren’t expecting us. Didn’t know we hadn’t paid. Food in pub was lovely.

United KingdomNothing. If we travel again to Thirsk we will stay here.
The room was excellent, having one large double and two single beds for 3 adults. The food in the restaurant was excellent value, plentiful and delicious. The staff were generous, friendly, kind and helpful. It was also conveniently walking distance to the train station and a convenience store nearby.

United KingdomThe room was not clean. I know some of other reviewers have said this and the pub have responded by criticising rather than apologising. There were dead spiders and cobwebs in the room, above our beds and in the bathroom. The drawer in the unit was broken, no lamp next to the bed so you had to get up to turn it off then make your way back to bed in the dark. And before the in asked why I didn’t say anything at the time, I didnt because we checked in late, it was Xmas night, no staff around later on to speak to. We were only there one night so we cooed.
The room was a good size and it was separate from the pub which made it quiet. However it was Xmas night so the pub was shut so I didn’t have to worry about noise anyways

BermudaI moved to a bigger room because the single room was too small. The shower and bathroom was so incredibly small that any large person would have great difficulty in fitting in. Considering the price charged I would not recommend this hotel to anyone, as it did not give value for money.
A convenient location suitable for my travel route. Nothing else was particularly good.
