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 shower in our room wasn't very powerful and needs replacing but owners said our room is due to be redecorated and shower replaced imminently.
Location was perfect, a few metres from the high street with free parking, couldn't have asked for better. Room was clean and spacious and amenities topped up daily. Very comfortable bed and the added touch of a fridge was brilliant. Good communication and easy check in/out. Would recommend to others.

United KingdomI should have been more attentive that the room I have booked was with bath only. No shower. Was good opportunity to take a bath though.
Great location. Friendly host. Close to Yorkshire Dales and good town to walk around and its industrial canals immersing in the industrial past which is quite well preserved in Skipton

United KingdomI was a bit disappointed with the fact that a full English was not inclusive in the price, it was a sparse continental breakfast. You could order breakfast on-line and have a menu however, the breakfast time of 09:00 was too late for me. I asked about parking, which apparently was not mentioned that you had to ring and give you vehicle details. In the morning at 07:30 I tried to call the number as instructed but nobody picked up, so I left an email message. Seems odd that they are living on site as contact was a bit difficult.
The location was ideal, the rooms clean and tidy. The hand over went smoothly and all instructions were given on how to operate,TV etc.

United KingdomThere was a bath but no shower. Would have been good to have a shower head to put on the taps if nothing else. No curtain or blind on dormer window, so light early.

United KingdomThe room was a little bit hot, so maybe a small portable fan as I had the loft room which was rather hot during the nighttime.
The continental breakfast was good and the location was excellent just next to the bus station, but there is also parking. Good for a solo traveller. Nice central location.
