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'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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and Standards for Reviews
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...).

As this was a week day & I needed to get off to work, a flexible breakfast time before 08.00am would have been preferred
Easy booking in with the door codes Good location, within walking distance to restaurants & pubs Staff were fab, I didn't have time to sit down for breakfast & they made me a bacon sandwich to take away Great price, perfect for an overnight or a few days exploring Harrogate & the surrounding area

We had trouble gaining access to property, no message about access details, asked for someone to let us in but he wouldn't he said look at your email which we had not received. Room was upstairs at the top which was hard as Mrs Mansfield has mobility problems. The lady said you have got this room. Let us use toilet.Husband struggle with suitcase. The breakfast was excellent. The room was spacious and clean. Be nice if lounge had a settee.
Breakfast was lovely,room was clean and good size

Absolutely nothing. Well except for one guest who’d obviously had a drink one night and struggled with the door system, but not the owners fault.
Just loved it. Location spot on. Comfy beds. Great shower pressure. Breakfast excellent. Staff were great as was communication beforehand. Entry is absolutely genius. Stay, you won’t regret it.

The only negative comment was the room was very hot as we were unable to turn radiator off in the bathroom. We got around this by keeping bathroom door shut and opening windows.
The location was excellent, we were fortunate enough to find a guest house with parking spaces available. The breakfast was tasty cooked to order. Staff very friendly and helpful. Comfy bed and quiet of a night.

Bed was too firm for us but may have suited others. Our room was just near the main entrance on the ground floor, so a little noisy.
The location was good to walk into the town centre. The breakfast service was exceptional and the food was very good. The room was spacious.

We did not have any complaints or need to raise any issues.
Our room (6) was warm, clean and and bed comfortable. Over looked a small parkland to side of property. Managed to park on the small car park but permits available if having to park on the side road so wouldn't cause any issues. The breakfast choice was excellent- cereals, yoghurts, juices and choice of cooked breakfast. Staff very welcoming, friendly and helpful.
