Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 StatesThe room was beautiful. Nice bath robes in the wardrobe. They left chocolates and a rose on my first nights’s turned down service. I didn’t have turned down service on my second night, but I’m assuming they would’ve left more chocolate. The breakfast was probably one of the best I’ve ever had. There was so many options from freshly made scones, all kinds of bread and bagels, pancakes, fruit and much more. I also had dinner at the restaurant’s bar and the food was delicious. I would highly recommend this place.

United StatesMy only criticism is that the hotel room floor was badly stained. It's time to pull up the carpet and replace it, either with easily replaceable carpet squares (replace stained sections) or LV. My solution - I kept my shoes on.
I loved the location, atmosphere and staff of the Lancaster Arts Hotel. The proximity to downtown Lancaster was perfect! I walked and drove around many neighborhoods to get a feel for what might be comfortable as a possible relocation destination. The hotel staff greeted me warmly. They were helpful and kind whenever I had questions. The bed was comfy and the WiFi, shower, tv, etc all functioned very well. The John J Jeffries restaurant was also a treat the evening of my arrival. Delicious food and very convenient. Plus, there was a special surprise! Fireworks just outside my hotel window on July 3rd and 4th. They were spectacular!

United StatesIt wasn't as close to downtown as I understood prior to our arrival but overall, not an issue.
From the staff to the room to the breakfast, everything went very well. Angie at the front desk was particularly helpful, answering questions and being generally great. Room was comfortable and fulfilled our needs. It was great to use their pass to the YMCA, just across the street.

United StatesI didn’t dislike anything really, although downtown was a little too far away to walk to.
When I made my online reservation, I requested top floor, corner room. Usually, hotels either ignore or don’t accommodate guests’ requests, but the Lancaster Arts Hotel set aside the room ahead of time for me. I was very impressed!

United StatesThe lighting in the rooms were a little off. The WHITE LED lighting was not calming. I suggest they change the LED to a soft yellow, more in line with traditional incandescent bulbs.
We requested to switch rooms because the first room has this incredibly LOUD buzzing from th HVAC(?) system that is on the roof. The second room was better, quieter. The bed was very comfortable, but it would have been nice to have a queen bed compared with the double that we had. Loved the locationg because we walked to local bars, restaurants, and coffee shops. We really liked the decor and the hardwood floors, nice restaurant and bar attached to the hotel.

United StatesAt one point I thought I smelled sewer in the water so I didn't drink from the tap.
Even though it's old, we loved the quality and the unique style of this hotel. The staff was professional and polite. The room was a five star rating with complimentary bottled water, bath robes, and an Artist sketch pad. The kitchen buffet had the usual but felt nicer with dishware and utensils that weren't plastic. We highly recommend Lancaster Arts Hotel.

United StatesOur room was for three but it was a little too tight in there. We had to ask staff to remove a coffee table that was too large and didn't allow us to open the sofa bed. "Fresh" fruit served at breakfast was definitely not, and tasted sour.
This was a cute little boutique hotel with a special charm. We didn't end up dining at the restaurant, but it looked very good. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful.

United StatesIt was pricey but worth it to be close to The hospital for my daughter’s surgery during a snowstorm. I didn’t like the surprise of having to prepay 75 dollars for expenses incurred. We were there for 8 hours to sleep… didn’t incur any additional fees and 5 days later still don’t have my 75 dollars back yet
It was close to the hospital during a snowstorm . It was clean and cute
