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 room was so noisy, we hardly slept. There was a huge amount of road noise, but the worst was the general noise of the hotel. When people walked along the corridor or above us it sounded like they were in the room with us. We were startled several times in the night as we actually thought someone was in our room, the footsteps were so loud. No food available after 9pm, reception advised us to get Uber eats!
Clean hotel Staff were polite and helpful

United StatesThere was no window in the room, only a skylight which had no cover. Also, I was in a back building which had stairs, which thankfully a staff member assisted with my luggage going up, but I had to carry it down.
The location was perfect, walking distance to the Minster and other significant attractions. The staff were very nice and extremely accommodating.

United KingdomRoom was dark and dingy couldn’t see out of the window which is fine but the lighting was poor. There was no cookie on arrival so don’t know why it stayed we would receive this. Had to sit in reception for an hour waiting for our room to be cleaned at 4pm. Bed was hard and not comfortable and the coffee at breakfast was not drinkable it was awful

United KingdomThe nearest car park is Monk Bar - where they charge you £20 per day - which is only £5 cheaper than the hotel charges.
Good self-service breakfast with plenty of choice of hot and cold food. Coffee could have been better as it was a bit weak for my liking.

United KingdomThe toilet area of the bathroom was quite tight for a tall person. The hotel parking is very expensive, £25 a night. We parked at Monkbar Mews public car park, which is across the road from the hotel. We pre booked online with Your Parking Space for £25 for 2 days.
I requested a walk-in shower when I booked. We were given a very small double room with a shower over the bath, at the very back of the hotel - not great. After speaking with Tom at reception we were given a lovely room on the first floor of the main building. Thank you Tom, it made a huge difference to our stay.

United KingdomThe room was comfortable but small for the price. The heating system in the room did not work which wasn’t ideal with my wife being pregnant. The seal on the bathroom sink may have perished or there may have been some pipe issue as when the sink was used, it created a pool of water on the bathroom floor. All these issues were reported to staff on leaving the hotel and I’m sure they will be dealt with promptly for future guests. Having stayed with Hilton previously, I have high expectations of the company so I was surprised. Nonetheless, I would stay at their hotels again as I’m sure this a one-off and these issues can be easily resolved.
Amazing location. The hotel was very good with an adjoining bar. Right in the heart of York so close to all the bars/restaurants. We were able to check in earlier than planned, late check out and the staff were very courteous.

United KingdomSo.... unlike previous visits.... the atmosphere was much more rowdy in the bar area and at times around the facilities.... it was more difficult to relax in the bar area. Also much of the dinner menu was unavailable on the Friday night making dinner near the rowdy bar rather a disappointment. Maybe Easter weekend mayhem was mostly the issue as York was breathtakingly busy.
This is a great hotel in a perfect location. Rooms are good and the place is generally very comfortable. We stay here pretty much whenever we visit York.
