Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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 Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

Lovely property, gorgeous rooms! The bar is lovely, as is the lounge. Food at the Pearly cow was lovely, the chips were possibly the best we've ever had. The pantry with all its snacks are a wonderful addition!

We stayed here on our mini moon! The staff were amazing so friendly and hospitable. The hotel had the most amazing facilities including a complimentary pantry, record players in the rooms and the comfiest bed in the world. Every single staff member we came into contact with was amazing! And having parking in York centre was a bonus!

ArgentinaYou can hear street noise and other rooms noise from your room. It didn’t stop us from sleeping or relaxing. But it’s the only thing it missed to be perfect.
Lovely place. Clean, neat and very cute. The staff is polite and ready to help/assist. Shout out to the pantry with sweats and treats. I would definitely go back.

United KingdomThe room was very small with limited space for opening our luggage. However it’s a very old building and this is quite the norm. A ramp up the front steps would be ideal for luggage.
The staff and service were wonderful! The room was comfortable and had classy decor. The bathrobe and slippers were a welcomed touch with the wide plank wood floors in the room. The bathroom was lovely and clean. Both the room and bathroom had great lighting. I loved the free pantry of snack food. We felt like kids in a candy shop with our little treat bags!

United KingdomThe first night a couple screaming at each other breaking up for a couple of hours. We didn’t think it appropriate to report and have someone walk in on a domestic. Second night (Saturday) sounded like someone clanging or knocking a metal post in on a building site from 3 am - 7 am that could be heard over the entire of York I expect. Neither of these incidents were the hotels fault - just unlucky and had reduced sleep.
The staff were all wonderful, excellent quality and comfort. Very clean.

United KingdomThe room was very cold when we arrived and although we were given a small heater very quickly, it wasn’t enough to keep the room warm. The staff were aware there was a problem but it clearly hadn’t been sorted. I would have liked a bigger bathroom as the shower cubicle and separate toilet were extremely small and had very little privacy with glass doors.
Just a few minutes walk from the town centre. Staff were very friendly and helpful and breakfast was great.
