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 KingdomNothing, everything about this hotel was perfect.
Everything about this hotel was special. The front was appealing, there were many people taking pictures on the street outside. The hotel is super close to the shambles, the minster cathedral and only a short walk from everything else you'd want to see while visiting York. Inside the decor was lovely, we were seen straight away by reception and give the key to our room. We were visiting for our 10 year Anniversary and when we went in to our room there was a plate of fudge with happy Anniversary written in chocolate. Breakfast was amazing, great choices and cooked beautifully. I'd definitely recommend the blue lagoon cocktail from the bar!

United KingdomLittle bit of a climb to our room but if you're fit and mobile this isn't a problem. There are bedrooms on lower levels too. We were woken early in the morning but again this is due to the location of the hotel so it's to be expected.
Fantastic location and outstanding breakfast cooked fresh which is what I prefer.

United KingdomThe room overlooked the busy Pedestrianize Road and a lot of noise ( street entertainer, etc) during the night the road had been still very lively.
Breakfast was absolutely delicious , Staff very helpful and friendly. The Hotel is only minutes away from the " Shambles " and so Central to other attractions York has to offer. The room was spacious and clean. I have very much enjoyed my time at the Galtres Lodge Hotel. at my next visit, i request a room at the back of the hotel. The restaurant food was beautiful prepared and cooked to a very high level .

United KingdomWhen we booked on booking.com it stated the hotel had parking. However we put the postcode into our satnav and we couldn’t get close to the hotel. After trying a few times we rang the hotel and were told we had to park in the Q car park Shambles, we had to do this online before and this cost £17.50. We then had to walk to the hotel with our cases. This was very misleading.
Location was great and so was the breakfast.
