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 KingdomWe have stayed at the Railway several times over the past few years and always feel comfortable and relaxed. The location is quiet but near to the town, rooms are clean and nicely decorated with a lovely shower. Breakfast consists of good quality ingredients and the restaurant food is delicious. Best cheese and onion pie ever! Skipton is an excellent spot to explore the beautiful surrounding places and I would always stay at the Railway.

United StatesOnly criticism- the bed mattress could maybe do with replacing for something a bit more firm, but it was alright. There's no parking, but there is a very reasonably priced car-park just a 3-minute walk up the road. Otherwise, no complaints at all.
The Railway was a great pub-hotel to stay in. A simple single room to be fair, but perfectly nice for the price, which was less than the Travelodge. WiFi, TV, coffee/tea, biscuits provided and was pleased there was a hairdryer too! And a fan - was a hot night! Nice clean ensuite. The cooked breakfast was superb- really nice to have before a day selling maps at Art in The Pen.

United KingdomNothing that I could have reasonably expected
I remember when this was a small locals "Tetley" pub. We liked it then and are delighted that the new owners have made a great job of refurbishing The Railway and making it very nice while still maintaining it's character. It still is a pub with 4 hand pumps but so much more. The room while not massive was more than adequate, very comfortable and very clean. The en-suite was absolutely sparkling. Tea/coffee etc was provided and replenished after our first night. Breakfast was wonderful with a choice of: Full English, smoked herring, omelette, poached eggs. Our full English was outstanding. 2 rashers, 2 sausages, egg, mushrooms, black pudding, tomato, beans, fried bread and toast plus tea and coffee of course. We had an evening meal too, (it was busy so best to pre-book on arrival), with loads of choice and generous portions. I would happily recommend the Railway and will stay again next time we're in Skipton. And only 5 minutes from the canal.

United StatesThere’s street noise sometimes, mostly sounded like teenagers just being themselves.
Joy welcomed me when I arrived, and helped me with my hiking itinerary; so fun! Dinner was extremely delicious! I had the fish pie one evening and Angelina created an amazing goat cheese salad for me another evening. The full breakfast was also great. Location was perfect for me; easy walk to train & bus stations, to downtown shops. Tesco (kind of a cross between Target/Costco/Alberson-Lucky) is a 1-minute walk. Pro tip: there’s an ATM outside the Tesco.

United KingdomWe were pleasantly surprised about the standard of the room. Really cosy, clean and modern with nice bathroom and coffee making facilities. We stayed for one night and went to explore the town the next day. Location is great for both town centre and train station. Staff was super friendly and helpful. English breakfast was delicious and chef was really nice, attentive and happy to make substitutions for fussy eaters. Would highly recommend!

United KingdomThe only thing that I was gutted about was that we weren't staying another night. I would have loved to have the time to stay for the Sunday roast.
I must start by saying I will definitely stay here again. The staff were so friendly, the room was beautiful and so clean and the bed was so comfortable. The food was unbelievable. We had tea on the night time and it was worth every penny. The breakfast in the morning was equally as delicious, cooked to perfection and the perfect amount to set you on your way.
