Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
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 KingdomWe were disappointed that breakfast was not available.
Location was brilliant, in very easy reach of the Minster and shopping streets Our host was charming and helpful, giving us a choice of rooms. Great to have parking available so close into the centre, even though we didn't use it. Our room was quiet and we were not disturbed by street noise.

United KingdomNo breakfast for the money we paid. Appreciate it's hard to offer that and that there are loads of cafés about but it felt like a lot. The bed was too soft for my back but I can imagine most people finding it comfortable. The shower had no pressure (I was on 2nd floor, my friend staying on the ground floor said there was excellent water pressure)
Great hosts, clean, professional, great location. In advance, all my questions were answered promptly and the hosts were really accommodating. When we arrived they were fabulously helpful with a late request. Really recommend this place to stay.

Mark was brilliant host, we were attending a wedding and Mark had our room prepared by 12pm so we could drop off our bags & get changed which made life so much easier! Private car parking an added bonus. Spacious room, clean and can’t beat the location, will stay again.

United KingdomNothing really. York is an expensive city for accommodation so the price was reasonable.
Well located near city walls close to minster and not far from the station. Very friendly, helpful host. The room was reasonably large as was the bathroom. Quiet at the back. Good sized towels and bathroom amenities.

We really enjoyed staying at the Gillygate. The bed was comfortable and the shower great. The location cannot be beat. The owner Mark was fantastic. He helped me park our car out back. A small tight area to park. He provided great places to go to in York. Loved each one. Thank you Mark for your hospitality.

United KingdomNothing.
The room was in an excellent location, near everything we wanted to see and do. We were made to feel very welcome. The room was large/clean and the bed was very comfy. Plenty of storage space. Tea/coffee and even hot chocolate! Very rare you find hot chocolate in the room- loved it I've been coming to York every year for the last 6 years and this was the nicest place to stay in. Parking was a bonus and a real help as parking is expensive in York. The next time we come to York we'll be staying here. Would recommend to anyone who wants to Visit York. We really enjoyed our stay this weekend. 😁
