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...).

The room we were given was very small and this was the only downside to our stay. Room was lovely but really was tiny. We stayed in room 5 but I’m sure there are bigger rooms available. It didn’t hinder our stay much as everything else made up for it.
Had a fabulous stay here. Location couldn’t be any better, right in the centre of town and they give you a parking permit that allows you to park free for the duration. Place is modern and decorated lovely, staff nice and friendly, dog friendly too. Breakfast is menu style with lots of choice. We had full English the first morning and eggs Benedict the morning after and both were top notch and delicious. We also ate in the restaurant at lunch time and that was equally as delicious. Couldn’t think of anywhere better to stay in this town and we were very pleased with our choice. Thank you Platos!

This isn’t really a criticism but a comment intended to be helpful. We didn’t mention these issues to staff because we were only staying one night - perhaps we should have. In our room one of the lights, by the wardrobe and door, didn’t work. Also the table lamp switch was broken meaning it could only be switched off/on at the wall socket. One of the brass ‘balls’ on the bedstead was missing (although we recognise such a thing could be difficult to replace/repair). Finally when we checked in, a cleaners’ cloth was lying on the bathroom floor. Breakfast was excellent but sadly they didn’t have any decaf tea which we usually drink.
We’ve been to Plato’s on previous visits to Kirkby Lonsdale so know what to expect. Once again it was very comfortable with an excellent breakfast. Great too having a free parking voucher.

Standard room was quite small, a larger room would be my choice next time. Slanted ceiling by the bed had to be avoided as I am quite tall.
Central location, very good quality food and ingredients. Lovely dinner and breakfast. Attractive bar/restaurant area.

A bit more information would help, as in the location of the rooms, also the property description says no parking available, but the first thing I was asked was did I need a parking permit they provide free of charge. I had already spent £20 for 3 Days parking.
I suffer a mobility problem as I am waiting for a new knee and stairs are a problem. On arriving,being shown to our room I realised it was on the second floor and extremely difficult to negotiate. Ben, who showed us to the room also noticed and he came back minutes after leaving and offered us a free upgrade to a room on the first floor. This saved our holiday, can’t Plato’s enough.

Tried the tapas cellar restaurant.. let’s just say not value for money. £30 per person for 3 small dishes and a basic 8 inch pizza.. and the food was ‘look warm’.. certainly wouldn’t have again
Lovely hotel, bar area, room and the bed was so comfortable!
