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 KingdomVery dated Car park was full so was directed to the rear of the building, however there were very large holes in the road and my car hit the ground. My car isn’t a ‘low to the ground’ type car. As it is electric I am praying there is no damage to the battery. The bar seemed to close very early

United KingdomGeneral decor was dated, but nothing to take away from the overall accommodation.
Lovely old building with quaint old fashioned values! Staff were friendly. Room was perfectly adequate for my needs (I got a twin room for some reason, but hey) with the added bonus of a bath tub as well as shower. Very good price for a 2 night Thursday /Friday stay in Harrogate.

United KingdomI used the hair dryer provided in the room and it set off the fire alarm. It is a hotel used for functions so was a little noisy. The hotel did offer a "quiet" room once checked in via a poster in the lift, but we arrived late in the afternoon and didn't see the sign until much later in the night.
Very friendly staff, free parking, great location, great price. Although there were a couple of issues, I would still recommend based on the cleanliness, the staff and the location.

United Kingdomroom cold to start with and took a long time to get hot water running. Staff were great, but felt sorry for them at breakfast when woman in charge kept telling staff off and she never smiled once at them Bedroom carpet was worn.
Bedroom very clean and comfy. Breakfast was good with a variety of foods, and service good. We were given a nice room heater when we said how cold the room was.

United KingdomStaff are efficient but a bit impersonal. TV was small and old fashioned, some of the hotel is getting tired. Room was on the small side.
Reasonable value, decent breakfast, parking is free, beware the insidious, expensive parking charges that some Harrogate hotels spring on you. Walking distance of the town centre.

United KingdomRoom temperature (126) volcano setting, unable to turn it down, couldn't sleep due to. The hotel advertise £5 off pre-booked evening meal, which I did. Then had to argue to get that and asked did "I mention that to reception" well that would be difficult as didn't know about it until saw notice on dining room door and it isn't my job as a guest to know your discount policy. Really spoilt my final evening especially as even with £5 off food was very over priced.
