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.).

United KingdomA small thing, but door to bathroom was a sliding door that squeaked terribly (rm6).
Loved the little touches such as specific facial soap, shower caps, flannels etc provided. Extra milk, tea etc available in reception area, if you ran out in room. Both ladies working at breakfast were lovely and friendly. Breakfast was nice enough and was aware only continental on offer, cereal, toast, crumpets, yoghurt and fruit availiable.

United KingdomThe shower would be perfect if the flow is a little bit powerful.
free breakfast with many kinds of yogurt and cereals you can choose. The breakfast lady is friendly and attentive. The location is close to M6 but with walking distance to the city centre. Also you can get free parking on site! The best: the free bottled water and tasty Border biscuits in the room.

United KingdomMy husband found the bed a bit soft & he kept rolling into the middle, but that's probably due to the big difference in our weights! The ensuite was a bit cramped;the toilet is very close to the wash basin. The property is about 20 -25 min walk into the city centre, we didn't mind after a long car journey & as it was dry & warm but it wouldn't be so good in cold, wet weather. These are minor points though.
We received an exceptionally warm, friendly welcome. The lady on duty at breakfast was also very friendly. The reception hallway, sitting room & breakfast room are bright & clean & attractively decorated & furnished. Our room, although not large, was clean & reasonably comfortable as was the ensuite. Toiletries provided. Kettle, tea, coffee, biscuits & water provided in the room & bottles of water, fresh fruit, sweets & biscuits provided in the hallway. There's a free public carpark immediately behind the property.

United KingdomNothing at all.
I really appreciated the fair price and the sense of generosity, thoughtfulness and friendliness. This is so rare now. There were free snacks available. I was met by staff who carried my case upstairs without being asked and were generally helpful and friendly. The heating was adjustable. There was obvious thought for environmental protection in the establishment which I really appreciate. The breakfast was not cooked but quality ingredients and helpful staff present. I could easily walk to Lancaster station with my suitcase along the river path (about half an hour ) I will stay again.

United KingdomThe Lancaster Town House is conveniently located for visitors of the University (as we did with our daughter), about 20 minutes north of the centre of Lancaster by foot, which is a nice walk along the river, even at night as the path is well lit. The hotel is very cosy, in the entrance hall there is a table with some brochures as well as sweets. Our room (8) upstairs is a family room, also nice and cosy. The only thing, and we mentioned it to the land lady, was that as there is a busy road in front of the hotel and therefore it was quite noisy. But they are planning to replace the offending window soon. The staff was friendly and welcoming and the continental breakfast pleasant.
