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 KingdomThe room itself was doubtlessly a bit tired, but perfectly functional.
A near perfect location with a delightfully grand lobby and staircase.

United KingdomBed was hard, but we are use to sleeping on a memory foam mattress at home. Could have used larger plates for dinner serving in the restaurant.
Hotel and room was very clean, bed was hard for me and my wife. (use to sleeping on memory foam mattress) Restaurant was clean, the food was nice but could have done with bigger plates or actual dinner plates. Bar tender was very helpful and professional. Overall happy with the stay.

United KingdomDespite the hotels grandeur, it is very tired, the rooms are comfortable, but they need an upgrade, they've been neglected for many years, the bathroom fittings are poor, even a general paint job in the rooms would be an improvement, unfortunately, the hotel is owned by Britannia hotels, who are quite possibly the worst hotel chain, I consider them very neglectful in their properties, concentrating on profit, rather than quality.
The hotel is in an ideal location when visiting the historic town of Scarborough. The hotel has beautiful architecture, dating back to the 1830s, particularly the grand staircase & atrium.

United KingdomWindow was cracked and very draughty - when raining windy. Wasn't closed properly so that helped. Quite a bit of noise from adjoining rooms but earplugs helped. Car parking was difficult getting things to my room but not as difficult as I had expected.
Beautiful building and atmosphere. Courteous staff. Great I could have my dog with me too. Room was clean. Lovely to have a bath - lots of hot water. Bed very comfy. Staff helpful when I needed milk and tea replenishing.

United KingdomThe place really does need to clean all windows, inside and especially out, I can appreciate that gulls do there whoopsies a lot, but for me it does look like they are neglected which is a shame as its a viewey hotel, even a touch of paint on them aswell, it might sound fussy but it really isn't it let's the elegance of the place down.
I love the age of the place, and the grand staircase and decor, it's got a huge area to enjoy drinks whilst looking out over the sea.

United KingdomThe public toilets require attention. One cubicle was out of order, another one had no indicator bolt, another one was in an unclean state. Only one cubicle was in a usable condition.
Decor was looking a bit tired compared with previous visits. Breakfasts were superb. The location is a principal reason for our selection in selecting this hotel. We are pleased with the staff’s attitude to mobility difficulties regarding access, steps, motorised scooters and lift management.
