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 are 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 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.).

IrelandRoom view wasn't brilliant, but fine for the length of time in the room. Family room could have been bigger. I'm not sure why hotel rooms do this....Location of the chair and mirror should be further in the room as it limits the gang way to the bathroom and door, unless you jump over the bed.
Breakfast was lovely - we didn't try dinner, but the menu looked good and always had a large number in the restaurant, so a good sign. The location was superb. Service was very good, staff always very helpful.

United KingdomSo when you get into bed and turn round to switch on/off the light, you do notice a lot of dust on the fitting. Not visible otherwise but then you are never that close to it otherwise. Should be mentioned to the staff responsible so they know about this hidden dust trap.
Room was very comfortable and everything worked. My room overlooked Clifford's Tower which was a bonus! The breakfast was very good, with eggs fried and poached to order, something I really appreciate as I am dairy intolerant and most scrambled eggs have milk in them. Staff on reception and elsewhere were all very friendly and helpful. One even taught me a new skill on my mobile, which will come in very handy in future.

United KingdomBreakfast is served until 10am, I was disappointed that when we arrived at 9:50am we were told that all hot food would be removed in 5mins so we had to be quick. I expected to be able to still get breakfast up to 10am.
the staff were so friendly and accommodating, the location is fabulous. We used valet parking which was really useful not having to find parking.

We used to come up to York every year,but hadn't been able to travel for some time. We enjoy the location by the Tower, the staff are always welcoming, and it is a pleasure to visit. Breakfast opposite the Tower is always enjoyable,and the lady who prepares eggs to one's choice is a breath of fresh air to start the day well.

United KingdomFood quality has gone really down and over priced, never had a bad meal until our recent stay and they made the staff take off her service charge (which was optional anyway) when we complained. Spent £80 on three drinks, two starters which were supposed to charcuterie board but was just cheap Salami and 5 slices of pickled cucumber. A pizza and chips, salad and chips which were burnt on top. We feed back about the food and got complimentary breakfast which is a bonus but wasn't the point in feedback. Really gutted as had good food here previously. Pillows are too soft they gave us neck ache, just go down to nothing when lying one them.
Rooms clean, bed comfortable lovely staff.
