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.).

South KoreaVery nice hotel in a great location next to the city walls and about 10 minutes walk to York Minster and the rest of the Shambles area. Would stay there again. No parking left on site but large paid parking 5 minutes walk away.

United KingdomReally limited parking but understandable given the location. Parking seems expensive.
Staff we're really lovely and quick to replace our room when we were put in one which clearly was damp and stale smelling. Location is fantastic and by far the selling point. Rooms are spacious and nice private entrance.

United KingdomThe downstairs area wasn't fully accessible unfortunately. My son wasn't able to go to the breakfast area as there wasn't a ramp. I had to ask a member of staff to get my breakfast as I couldn't leave my son. There were lots of steps around the bottom part of the hotel unfortunately which made it too dangerous for my son to walk around. If we do go back then we won't book the breakfast.
Great location. Nice staff, they pushed the bed up to the wall as we requested

United KingdomWhen we got to our room the key pad had ran out of battery. Went to reception to report but still had not been sorted when we got back on the night. No trademark welcome cookies. No remote for tv in room. We stayed in the older part of the building in an attic room and the interior was a bit shabby with damp round windows and mould round bath. No blind on one of the 2 ceiling window so woke up early with thr sunlight flooding in. Corridors smelt a bit musty
Staff were friendly, location was great, nice breakfast and comfy bed. Had lunch too which was tasty. Communal and bar areas really nice. Large car park close by.

United KingdomThe staff went above and beyond to accommodate us during our stay. Although the hotel had issues with the A/C throughout several rooms and it was quite hot, the team responded quickly and professionally. When we brought the issue to their attention, they promptly changed our room, which made a big difference. Their helpful attitude really stood out despite the inconvenience.

United KingdomStaff were not very helpful even with simple things. I had made a request for a bath - as it stated when we booked not all rooms had baths - which had been confirmed. Arrived - told it was not on the system - blamed booking.com. Then said they would sort it and come back in a bit. Came back, had lost our bags (found them). They hadn’t sorted it, insisted they had even when I pointed out they had just given us the same room again. Went to check the room - no bath. I realise relatively minor but we ended up accepting the room as we had already wasted time on a 1 night getaway.

IrelandOur room was in the older part of the building, above the restaurant. We could hear the floorboards from above creaking and we both suffered from coughing, maybe from the air con, dust and/or pets staying. Whatever it was, was not a good atmosphere to breath, otherwise a super location to visit York.
Great location, great staff and good value.
