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 only thing not to like was the bed- although lovely & big, it seemed to be imprinted with previous bodies. Like the memory foam (if it was that) had remembered other bodies & was a bit odd.
Fab location- near the main attractions, and an easy walk from the train station. Nice big bedroom & shower/bathroom. Nice relaxing lounge area. Amazing breakfast every morning! Staff friendly & helpful. Nice touches like availability (with an honesty box) of bottled water & snacks.

United KingdomThe only downside were the towels... a bit on the small side. That's a really minor gripe.
Lovely room with a good view in a very quiet area just outside the city walls. Staff were very friendly, and the breakfast hamper was decent.

United StatesNone.
We stayed at a family room, which has a separate room for my child. The interior decoration of the room fits well with a town like York taking you back to the old time. If you like history and culture, you will like this house. The room is clean and the house makes sure you have plenty of drinks and snacks option at your room. The breakfast is superb! It is one of the best we have enjoyed during our tour in England. Last but not the least, the warm welcome from the house staff makes you feel at home.

United KingdomNothing to complain, all was grand.
Amazing guesthouse very close to both railway station and city centre. The room was clean and cozy, spacious bathroom with bathtub and douche. Breakfast included in the price, it is tasty and with different option for vegan. The place itself is magic, with a nice lounge with books and games, little tea-coffee station and a fridge. We had the opportunity to leave our luggage for the rest of the next day. It is absolutely worth its money, the staff is wonderful and helpful. It is quiet, clean and overall great.
