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 use a weighted review system which means that 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 room itself was full of character and period features. It had plenty of storage, a TV, tea and coffee facilities. The bathroom was easily big enough for us and the shower was very roomy. There was some street noise in the mornings but this was to be expected being in the centre of the old town and having period single glazed windows! This didn't bother us during our stay, but bear it in mind if you are going to stay. There were also a limited number of plug sockets in the room, for charging phones etc. Again no issue to us, and understandable with the age of the property, and the fact its probably listed!

United KingdomBathroom a little snug but manageable. We had the room on the top floor with its own sitting room, so very spacious other than the bathroom. At the end of the day, its a very old building and the owners have made great use of the space available. Bed was too soft for me but the Mrs thougt it was fine.
The breakfast room is beautifully decorated, the menu exceptional and staff really helpful and welcoming. We were advised on good places to eat and drink, and the local record shops. Parking available too.

United KingdomThe room was a little cramped around the bed , the bathroom was in need of some cosmetic treatment . The extractor fan was either not working or not strong enough for the room.
The location couldn`t be better right in the centre of Lincoln and only a 3 min walk from the cathedral and castle. Breakfasts were excellant and the staff very friendly and helpful.

United KingdomAccess to the Cathedral View's car park is a little tight, manageable but tight..
Excellent location. The Cathedral View Guest House lies midway between the cathedral and the castle, a few yards from each, at the top of Steep Hill. Although plain and nondescript from the street, the guest house, a former coaching Inn, has charm and character as well as history, creaky stairs, oak beams and friendly, knowledgeable hosts hosts. It is clean and comfortable and I wish I could have stayed longer..

United KingdomThe room we stayed in was just okay for a couple and there was no room for a chair, although there is a lounge in the main building that could be used for relaxing in. The room would be an ideal size for a single traveller. The walls seemed a bit thin as you could hear guests in the next room coughing, extractor fans etc. We visited in a heatwave and there was an electric fan provided although at night with the blinds down it could be a little stuffy, even with the window open. Be aware that the entrance to the rear car park is a bit narrow for modern day cars, with just a few inches of wiggle room either side, but the building itself is listed so nothing can be done about that!
The location is excellent for exploring the historic Cathedral Culture of Lincoln, with its many independent shops.The breakfasts were superb with a good choice of cooked or cereals and as much tea /coffee and toast as you would like. The staff and owner were very friendly and helpful. The bathroom was very nice and the walk-in shower most welcome after a day’s exploring. Having free off-street parking is a real bonus.
