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.).

House was roomy and in a convenient location for the town centre. It took us around 20 minutes to walk into the centre.

United KingdomThe oven tripped out. The bath taps didn't work. And it was very dusty. The bedding could be updated. And the toilet seat wonky. But other than that I would definitely stay there again. It's perfect for a weekend and would stay longer. Fantastic weekend. Thank you.

United KingdomParking is a bit tricky as you can only park outside the house for 10 mins between 9am-6pm. However we managed to park to load and unload the car and rented a space on a local private drive at low cost on a parking space rental site so were able to leave car there for week which was fine.
Fantastic location, just a 15 minute walk into York centre. The co-op next door and park opposite also v handy, a nice and safe location. Great for a family of 5 and our 2 dogs who had a great holiday too: garden and park great for them. The house itself was clean and comfy and had everything we needed. Lots of space, comfy beds and towels and bedding provided. A great little base for our York adventure, we hope to come and stay again.

Great base for exploring York and surrounding areas.

United KingdomThe house could really do with some update of the interior decor as it looks really old. Wallpaper peeling off in hallway. Toilet bowl cracked at the bottom and not a full toilet seat. However, these didn't really affect our stay and would stay again.
The house was clean, great location. Owners were really helpful if needed to be contacted. Would happily stay again.

United KingdomKitchen had 4 wooden spoons but no tin opener, also the only frying pan was enormous- a waste for 2 people, doing two fried eggs.
Liked the fact that it had a washing machine and tumble dryer as we had been travelling for more than a week. Having the bus stop right outside the house was also great.

United KingdomNo dedicated parking space available.. All parking close by, was one hour with no return in an hour during day time and free to park during night time.. this causes a problem if you want to park during 9am and 6pm but you can manage by moving your car to different nearby streets. And during nights no problem.. No smart TV.
Closer to the city. Central heating worked well.. House was as shown in the pictures so no surprises.. Great kitchen and good set of utensils available.. Instant responses from the host and able to reach him on the phone if necessary.

United KingdomCould do with some more cushions in the living room, few missed cobwebs, and no egg cups. But these are all minor things. Parking wasn’t clear so update on website would be helpful for next person. Noticed some tv channels were very pixelated.
Central location, warm with all provisions and facilities we needed for the weekend.

AustraliaPotential users should be aware the bathroom is downstairs and the bedrooms are upstairs. Not a problem if you are fit, but something to be aware of.
The house is comfortably furnished and equipped. Location is excellent. There is a bus stop into town nearby, but you can walk just as easily. Supermarket is within walking distance. Overall an excellent choice for our stay.

United KingdomUnfortunately before you enter the house the front entrance sets the tone. Paint flaking from the door frame, walls in the hall with wall paper missing. The stair banister is wobbly and wood worm riddled which is a shame. The cooker trips the fuse box which worried me faulty wiring makes me nervous. The microwave unfortunately couldn't be used due to extensive rust INSIDE the microwave. I understand the house is victorian but the decor issues are a quick fix, I couldn't understand the holes in the doors until we thought about shared accommodation. lampshades would also make a big difference. Could do with a bread knife little things that would make the difference. Iron ironing board. Lots of the issues we found apparently have been reported several times. As I have said before. We were VERY grateful for early access to the property and it's in a lovely friendly area, it's just a shame there are so many ongoing issues with the house and it seems from a visitors point of view that's the the property is uncared for lampshades and such would make a big difference to make it feel homely.
That the hosts allowed us to enter early as we had a graduation to attend, but we had our dog with us. We were very grateful for this. Also we had an issue with the boiler not working the owner came out promptly to repair it. There was a lovely park across the road. It was minutes from the city and on a bus route, shops very close to the house. The house itself was clean I was glad for the laundry facilities, unfortunately no iron or ironing board though..... Which are basic items I thought. There is a lot of information for things to do whilst visiting York.
