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.).

The room I booked was very accessible for myself and my disabled daughter. The staff were very welcoming and helpful . A lovely little boutique hotel in a very good location.

Ive stayed in a number of well known, more expensive hotels in York and I thought Judges outclassed them all. I will definitely be back.

CanadaOur room was in the courtyard right outside the pub, so the blinds had to stay closed unless we wanted the table outside to see in. When we checked in I thought it was going to be a problem with the noise at bedtime, but it actually wasn't, they must have stopped seating people there in the evening. It wasn't a concern for us at all, just something to be mindful of.
Newly renovated room, perfect location in York. Very clean and comfortable. The restaurant/pub was very popular so reservations need to be made in advance.

United KingdomOnly one thing: breakfast on each of the days felt very rushed as though they couldn’t wait for us to go. The area in the cellar bar is rather cramped - (no objections to that) but two people need a table for four as there is nowhere to put the multiple plates etc.-so very efficient that my cooked breakfast arrived while I was still eating a bowl of fruit which I lifted up and could not then put down. The waitress whose first language was not English asked me what I wanted her to do about it, ‘my dear?’ She certainly did not mean any offence, so it was quite funny. Evening meals were never like that - staff were very good, as is the food. It sounds simplistic, but small breakfast plates could help?
Location is superb - very friendly and accessible for elderly ladies. We chose the right rooms as we had stayed there before, The management staff are very good indeed.

United KingdomThe rooms at the front of the building can be a little bit noisy being in the centre of town, especially on a Friday night. Not a problem for us but could be for some people.
Beautiful building and lovely, clean, spacious room. We had a lovely, large ensuite. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was lovely and I was able to have a gluten free cooked breakfast. The chef was careful to cook and prepare gluten free foods in a way to avoid contamination and was knowledgabe about dietry requirements.
