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 KingdomRoom was very dated and shabby - lots of peeling paint and wallpaper. Dusty. Several light bulbs weren't working.
Being upgraded to superior room which meant we didn't have to walk down the road to another building. Historic building. Plenty of space. Four-poster bed. Beautiful grounds. Good location - easy to walk into market town.

United KingdomIt’s one of those places that could be great but it needs TLC. Many shelves or alcoves or furniture around the building either have clutter or dust or both. Cleaning stuff and old carpets piled up, furniture paint chipped or with paint spatter on. Menu very basic, would be great to have some specials.
The location is perfect for walking into the town. Plenty of parking. Building and grounds are beautiful.

United KingdomWhen our room was serviced the cups and glasses weren’t washed and the tea wasn’t stocked up.
The room was very quirky and the bed very comfortable. Breakfast on first day very good second day not quite as good the sausages were a bit over done, we had dinner on Saturday evening roast lamb versus good value. The staff were excellent.

United KingdomHotel definitely needs refurb, looks very tired, just as it did when we visited prior to Covid. We're advised no evening food due to kitchen repairs but that breakfast would be served as usual. However the following morning no one available to cook breakfast. We weren't the only extremely annoyed guests that there was no breakfast chef contingency plan. Young staff were left to deal with the situation as best they could but this is down to poor hotel management/ownership.
Location excellent, short walk into Malton. Simply wonderful building and gorgeous grounds. Plenty parking, able to leave car before and after check in and check out to fit in with our plans.

United KingdomVery let down by the afternoon tea we booked to our room as the cakes were stale which wasn’t acceptable at all and no clotted cream with the scones, it didn’t look anything like the picture on their website, I did complained and only paid half of the original cost but when your paying a premium for a service this shouldn’t happen Also we came down to breakfast on our second day and we’re waiting to have our order taken when another couple asked the waitress if they could order to which she replied sorry there is only a continental breakfast today as we don’t have a chef but we paid over £400 for our weekend break and a full English was included in this price, again not acceptable and they didn’t offer a refund They should have informed everyone at the door as they arrived for breakfast instead of leaving us all sitting there waiting, again very bad service and there should have been a refund as I only ate gluten free cereal 🤢 and a yoghurt not exactly what you expect from a luxury weekend away
Beautiful room and surrounding gardens and very central to the town centre

United KingdomEverything needs abit of love. Chipped paint cracked tiles. Rips in the duvet covers. Advertised as a luxury room but not up to standard. Was bought with a full breakfast to find it wasn't available in the morning not even told at check in. I also messaged days before check and was told the restaurant was closed but breakfast would still be served and there was just a muffin and cereal. Wasn't told we could have toast until we had sat for 10 minutes. Really bad service. There were cleaning products on window sills when walking through, staff sat on stairs texting and having to squeeze past to get up stairs. I am a guest and I felt I was in the way and making things inconvenient for just expecting a breakfast and a service that I had paid for. I don't book things like this so this is a luxury. I was sold by looking at the pictures but in reality basic expectations were not met.

United KingdomGranted it was a period building with restrictions in place for upgrades. However attention needs to be paid to cosmetic maintenance such as peeling wallpaper, stained bedroom carpets, bathroom radiator valve cleanliness, grime build up. Breakfast doesnt start until 8am which is later than other hotels.
Food was fantastic, both evening meals and breakfast. Would have liked self serve toast . Staff were brilliant. Possibly say they were understaffed on the evening we arrived as the same lady had to man the check in desk, the bar and the restaurant. She did a brilliant job but needs support. Breakfast doesnt start until 8am which is later than other hotels, however they were very accommodating and served us from 7:30am as our group needed to check out by 8am.
