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 a leak mark on the ceiling and the wall in the room. Also water leak mark, damage on the wall and some rust in the bathroom. All over the room smells a bit moist and damp.
The room was clean sheets and towels are in good condition and clean. Plain and simple room. Nice tea and coffee options in the room. Great location for someone who needs to be in Lancaster University. The breakfast is good.

United KingdomThe bed was extremely rickety. Every time I moved it would speak and groan, and didn't feel very secure or comfortable.
The room was clean enough. The location and breakfast were good, and the staff serving the breakfast were lovely. The check-in/check-out procedure was easy.

United KingdomNot adequately ventilated with some mould growth in the bathroom and mould spots on the blind. I realise it's difficult for this type of establishment but the rooms could be unlocked and aired a bit more often.
Great location, generally clean. Overall very good with just the one caveat in the negative section.

The room was good-sized and clean with very comfortable beds. Easy directions to the cafe for breakfast, it was very quiet on a Sunday morning. We were there for a campus tour so it was a great opportunity to stay on campus and look around.

United KingdomI really had no reason to complain and thoroughly enjoyed my stay.
All went well and up to expectations. Lancaster is an excellent base for my Lake District fell-walking and visiting old haunts. The Reception Staff in particular were most helpful as usual even pointing out that I had made a double booking which could have been expensive. I have booked again in July and am looking forward to it. The arrival procedures, car parking, accommodation and meals were perfect and I was left alone to get on with my holiday. I see no reason why I should stay anywhere else! Thank you.
