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 KingdomThere was nothing to dislike at all. We couldn't fault anything about the stay.
The owners Linda and Jonathan were so thoughtful and hospitable and did everything possible to give us the best possible stay. The breakfasts were delicious, the house and garden beautiful and restful and the location perfect for getting to York. The room and bathroom were beautifully arranged with everything you could need. The village also has fabulous places to eat and drink, as well as a station, good bus links and shops.

Fantastic food. Linda is a brilliant cook especially the yummy cake on arrival and homemade shortbread in the room, lovely touch! Friendly owners including Penny the dog who couldn't have been more welcoming and enjoyed her tummy tickles very much. Transport links were great. 10 min walk max to the station then 6-7 mins to York City centre. Park and ride also a good option, a 10 minute drive from the BnB. Super clean everywhere, infact spotless. Thank you Linda, Jonathan and Penny we had a super stay!

United KingdomWhat a wonderful place to stay! From the moment you arrive, Linda and Jonathon are welcoming and warm. They really go out of their way to ensure your stay is perfect, Linda even offered to make egg and soldiers for my daughter as well as the already delicious breakfast. The breakfast is extensive and the majority is homemade or local (seriously the best sausages I've ever eaten). The beds were super comfortable, the mattress was amazing and the linen high quality. They take pride in their home and their business, something that is clear from the off. Linda and Jonathan's local knowledge is extensive and they are always there with advice and history to really help you make the most of your trip to York. The B&B location is great, as located in a village it is lovely and quiet, whilst still being a very short train or bus trip into the centre. We felt so welcome at Grove House that my daughter shed a tear when we had to leave, only happy when I promised we would return to see Linda, Jonathan and Penny. I will be recommending Grove House to anyone thinking of visiting York.

United KingdomI could not fault anything.
Everything about the Grove House Bed and Breakfast is first class. Linda and her husband certainly know how to look after there guests. The attention to detail is fantastic. Our bedroom had a mini fridge with complimentary water and alcoholic drinks, homemade biscuits, tea and coffee and best of all, fresh milk. None of this long life milk. Our on suite bathroom even had a full size bath and a separate walk in shower. The breakfast was freshly cooked and you could have as much as you wanted. Because we arrived late on the evening, Linda even booked us a reservation at the local restaurant and dropped us there. Grove House Bed and Breakfast is a fantastic place and I can fully recommend it. I know that on my next visit to York, I will be staying there again.
