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 KingdomThe top bedroom had been slept in and the towels used as they were wet. There was a breakfast bowl and glass in the drainer as if someone had just left. It didn’t spoil our stay but for some people it might.
The house was well equipped and brilliant location.

United KingdomIt is a little tired looking which gives the appearance of being a bit grubby but overall we did find it to be clean and it didn’t affect our stay.
Very central, location is excellent. Very spacious. Very reasonable price compared to other properties.

United KingdomOur only gripe was that it slept 6 people but the dining room table only had 4 chairs, there wern't enough wine/proscecco glasses for 6 people, no freezer compartment in fridge for making ice (a freezer would have been a asset).
Loved the location, plenty of places to eat nearby. House was clean and warm easy to get into using the key lockbox.

United KingdomThe property is looking tired. It was surface clean but in need of some deep cleaning. The fridge, kitchen and bathroom tiles in particular. I got the impression either the cleaner is older or doesn't have enough time. All laundry smelt great and was clearly fresh. But money needs to be spent on the beds and bedding. My bed was very hard like sleeping on a board. I got the feeling that the owners haven't been to the property in some time and are not aware of its tired state as it clearly has had some love and personality put into it. For the price it was OK but I don't think I would stay again.
The location is fab. Close to the centre of everything without being on the main walk for ghost tours ect. So very minimal noise outside from people walking by ect. We couldn't fault the location and the permit was brilliant. It was very easy to park in visible distance from the house. The property has its quirks and I'm sure is better visited in winter as I think it would have a warmer cosy vibe. Lots of space and house for the stay. Little extras were included like milk sugar sachets, clean towels and tea towel.

United KingdomThe upkeep and maintenance is obviously not a priority. Unloved and pretty grubby in a lot of places. Awful, cheap ornaments/ wall hangings etc. (downstairs toilet mirror and Cork wall hangings looked the worst) extractor fan sounded like it was about to blow up as well. TVs not working. Gives the impression that “it can still be rented out so, why bother.” Cushions and blankets smelt. Doubt they’ve been laundered for a long time. Downstairs toilet leaking and floor constantly wet. Terrible cobwebs all over lounge window. Furniture long overdue replacement. Toilet seats loose and askew. I could go on. Won’t leave an awful review but, as a fellow property professional I recommend the owner makes some improvements.It was merely a base for us and it served its purpose. I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone else however.
Convenient location. Moderately priced. Family sized.

United KingdomThe property cleanliness wasn’t the best, everything just seemed to need a deep clean. The downstairs toilet had cobwebs and spiders in there, the rug in the lounge was filthy, the pots and cutlery were all dirty. The bed in the main (front) bedroom was horrendous, like sleeping on the floor. There was no TV in the second room, but it didn’t matter because none of the TVs worked anyway. The back yard was overgrown and in dire need of a good clean, certainly not as shown in the pictures. Also when we arrived the council were digging the road up, so we couldn’t park outside using the permit which cost another £30 to park on the car park. We also had machinery and the road being drilled all day from 07:30 so had to go out for breakfast because the house was shaking. We actually left the property a day early which was a shame.
The property was in an excellent location, just a short walk which brought us out at the bottom of The Shambles. It was very spacious.

United KingdomThe bed in the main bedroom was very uncomfortable, never slept on a harder mattress! TV in bedroom does not work. No freezer or freezer compartment in the fridge. Kitchen was under stocked for 6 guests. Shower in the bathroom has parcel tape securing it to the wall. Generally the property could do with some TLC and resfreshing.
Great location easy waking distance to city centre. Property was clean and tidy.

United StatesThe kitchen was under provisioned in things like paper towels, dishwasher detergent, and toilet paper for a 2 night stay by 5 people. When an email was sent to alert the owner of these deficiencies I received no response. The toilet down stairs was full of cobwebs and spiders and the refrigerator was very dirty. The soap pump in the bathroom was empty.
Easy walk into the center of York. Located with in a 6 minute walk to a grocery store. Restaurants and services near by. Comfortable gathering areas. When we requested to stash our bags for a short time before official check in, permission was granted.

United KingdomWhilst the house was good for a group of friends, I wouldn't go for a family holiday. Garden not like the pictures and run down. No where to sit. Need bins in bedrooms, these are essential. 2 wine glasses still had red wine marks on which instantly put me off using the crockery etc. My bed (the attic room) was comfy but my other friend's said there's wasn't. Pillows need an upgrade, they are wafer thin. With a bit of TLC this house could have a lot more going for it.
Nice, big roomy house. Loved that there was a bathroom as well as a downstairs toilet. Also liked that there was a separate large dining room, great for socialising. Fab location!
