Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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):
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.
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...).

United KingdomOur delux room was in a different building, I knew that and that was fine. But the carpet was awful and very stained. It made the whole room look grubby. Also on the write up it stated some bathrooms don’t have a bath. Our bathroom didn’t have a shower. Being of a certain age having a bath wasn’t easy for us.
Food was excellent! Staff very friendly. Excellent position for the town. Good bed, lovely towels. Good car parking facilities. Wi-Fi was very good.

United KingdomGreeting from the receptionist who checked us in was cold and she told us little. Our room was great in that it was double aspect with one window looking up Cold Bath Road and the other onto The Stray but it was above the outside drinking area and because the windows are old, do not fit, are single pain and leak, there was no noise insulation so we were kept awake till late at night/early morning as people were still sat out well beyond closing time.
Breakfast was very good with a good selection. Location of the hotel is excellent. Bar area is excellent with a great selection of well kept beers and friendly staff.

AustraliaParking was extra and it was a bit annoying having to get the tickets validated, especially if you went in and out more than a couple of times. Room and bed seemed very tiny. I think they have divided up bigger rooms (in an old building) into as many smaller rooms as possible. Whilst it was ok, it was a pretty tight bedroom and bathroom and probably wouldn't want to stay more than a couple of night because of this.
Location was perfect for exploring (on foot) Harrogate. Fat Badger restaurant was great - had an amazing meal there on the last night of our holiday. Handy on site parking (extra fee), room facilities all good/present that you would expect.
