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 a little dark because of the positioning of the window, but there's nothing the owners can do about that because of the age of the building and location of the room in the property, so it's a minor quibble and shouldn't put you off. I believe other rooms have views of the cathedral.
The location alone is worth top marks. Literally a few minutes walk from the castle and cathedral and some great bars and restaurants, but also an enjoyable walk down to the centre for more shops and places of interest. The host Paul was a terrific host; very friendly and helpful and full of hints for best places to eat. And he cooks an awesome breakfast! The room was very comfortable and clean. The guesthouse dates back to the 1200s and so is charming and full of history with stone fireplaces and wooden beams.

United KingdomAccess to the small parking area is through an ancient archway off Eastgate & obviously designed for horse-drawn coaches.... not large SUVs or modern estate cars. Plenty of paint scrapes along the whitewashed brick walls!! Everything else was great.
Great location for everywhere in Lincoln that's at the top of 'Steep Hill!' If you haven't visited Lincoln, then be aware that Steep Hill is exactly that!! We were caught out on our first visit. Cathedral View is perfectly placed. Very comfortable and a friendly welcome. Off road parking. Would go back.

The guest house itself is old and quirky which is what we like and just a 2 min walk to the cathedral, castle and steep hill. Staff were friendly n helpful, breakfast was delicious and well presented. Our room (no 4)was lovely, clean, tidy although the bed was comfortable, it was squeaky.

United KingdomThe car park is a bit tight but it was big enough for a coach and horses, so just needed a little care... 😀
This is a gem of a location in the heart of the city with the Cathedral Quarter being right on the door step. Our room was large and comfortable and breakfast was excellent. If you like guesthouses with character and history then this is one for you... and it comes with a warm welcome.

United KingdomMore hooks eg in the shower room and bedroom would have been useful. The access to the shower room from our room (3) was awkward at the top of a winding stairwell, across an access corridor, and potentially dangerous for some people. Would not choose this room again.
Lovely staff and breakfasts. Unbeatable location right in the centre near the Cathedral and Castle.
