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...).

United KingdomNothing to not like really. I guess my only comment would be that we did have our dogs with us and were on the second floor with quite a long walk through the hotel to get them out in the morning.
Lovely old grand hotel within a 5-minute walk from Harrogate town centre. Parking is on-site, although administered by Harrogate Borough Council so a charge is applicable. Dog friendly too so even better. We only stayed one night and skipped breakfast so can't really comment any further.

United KingdomBreakfast was not included in price. Rooms a bit basic and decor tired. Not enough tea, coffee, milk in rooms had to keep fetching it from reception. Had to ask for blanket as room not very warm. No option for latte or cappuccino or flavored teas just filter coffee or tea! Also toaster so slow you had to queue while food going cold. Room service is not room service if you have to go down to reception to order it. Also phones did not work properly. Could only get 4 channels on TV. Until maintenance man came to fix it.
It was walking distance to town. Price was ok food was very good except no options for latte or cappuccino or flavored tea.

United KingdomIt’s not the hotels fault if you have noisy guests. You had guests coming and going still at 2am in the corridor shouting and banging doors. Also I did pay the £10 extra for the staff which was already written on my bill .. A bit cheeky that! I was only there one night and it’s a self service breakfast and you’re only checking in at 3pm and out at 11am ( old days were 2pm-12) .. I have given staff £10 in the past after I had stayed a week .. There’s plenty of choice of hotels around who don’t ask for this ..
The location of the hotel is lovely and the room was clean and comfortable.

United KingdomThe rooms themselves were in need of a lick of paint and the television somehow only wanted to show non-bbc channels? Otherwise lovely.
It is a lovely site, very close to the town centre and the convention centre. Rooms spacious and I absolutely loved the shower! Breakfast was excellent and I enjoyed both the hot and cold buffets and the separate order from the menu the second morning.

United KingdomOnly thing I didn’t care for was that the bed wasn’t very comfortable but that is personal preference. Would not put us off going back .
Very central to everything, the staff were very friendly and accommodating. The rooms very cosy and welcoming and spotless. Every area was lovely, comfortable and cosy.

United KingdomThe WiFi was not good in my room and the TV reception was poor. The TV was in a strange place to be able to watch comfortably. In my opinion the room needed to be set up in a different configuration. I was quite cold the first night and needed another blanket (supplied without fuss the second night.) The duvet was a summer weight one in February, so not adequate.
The breakfast was fairly standard and I had everything that I needed. The bed was comfortable and it was quiet. The staff were polite and helpful, responding to requests efficiently. The room was very clean. The hotel was located within walking distance of my conference so very convenient.

The staff were very nice especially the receptionist. The breakfast was very good. Location wise, it is just up the hill from the Pump Museum. I always prefer the old world charm of hotels like this to modern ones. I would happily stay here again.
