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, Iceland, Australia, Greece, Brazil and North Carolina. For properties in these regions, 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 KingdomSome better bread at breakfast would be a nice touch.
The hotel is buzzing and friendly, the decor has really been thought about and dogs are extremely welcome. (Having stayed recently at another central hotel which isn't nearly as dog friendly as it claims to be, and is run down and staff rude and disinterested, we were really hoping this place would be better and it was. Much better!). The staff without exception were helpful, friendly and enthusiastic. Thank you, we had a really good three nights and we've already booked to return.

United KingdomOur bedroom was far too hot at night. No air conditioning, although a small, but inadequate fan was supplied. We were located on the second floor, and as soon as you left the main hotel area you could feel the heat. Our stay was at the end of August, with a temperature of 20 degrees, and a mixture of rain We can only imagine how warm it gets in the height of summer!
The decor was beautiful. Great location for shops, restaurants etc. Staff were friendly and helpful.

United KingdomTiny bathroom literally no room to turn. Also the hotel is dog friendly which we’re ok with but not the fact that dogs were allowed in the dining room at breakfast and meal times. We have a dog ourselves , she wasn’t with us but if she had have been I wouldn’t have taken her into the main breakfast dining room at the table when there were other guests eating and may not have been bothered about sharing the dining area with someone else’s dog. Personally I think any guests with dogs should have sat in the bar area and not in the dining room. For this reason we wouldn’t stay again.
Lovely building. Very central . Lovely Bar areas with friendly staff. Nice outside area which we also used in between heavy showers in our great British summer!

United KingdomBetter organisation at breakfast.
The hotel & staff are excellent & I really don’t want to complain about anything but we found breakfast to be chaotic & had to keep asking for things to be replaced on both mornings we had breakfast. Everything had ran out, cups, bowls, breakfast items, butter to name a few. There did not seem to be any organisation at all. That said, I would stay again because the hotel is so nice & the staff were lovely.

United KingdomWaiting times for checking in were too long, mainly due to staff performing multiple roles, which I agree has become the norm amongst employers stretching staff. Management need to get a grip of this as it affects consumers. The noise of running water from an outlet point was unacceptable. Standard of room appeared dishevelled chunks of plaster missing in parts and lack of recent touching up of paint. Sadly, we would not use this hotel again.
Location. Door closers have been adjusted so that there's no slamming of doors in corridors.

United KingdomVery noisy air conditioning unit outside disturbed our sleep all of first night and started up again at 5.30am the second. Room was hot with significant smell of damp in the entrance so having a window open was necessary, and the noise couldn't be reduced.
All Staff very helpful. Pleasant and responsive to everyone even when circumstances were pressuring.

United KingdomBreakfast was a little bit of a let down. Served till 10.30 at weekends, we arrived at 9.30, struggled to find a clean table as most still have the last guests stuff on, staff not really bothered about clearing them promptly. Sundays breakfast….no hash browns, no freshly squeezed orange juice machine, no fresh bread only crusts and again loads of dirty tables not cleared away….
Great location for visiting the town…..nice and clean through out the rooms and public areas. Staff were great around the bar area, not so much in the breakfast area.

Located perfectly in the centre of Harrogate. The room was a generous size and had more than enough facilities to make the stay relaxing. The bar and restaurant was great with plenty to offer.

The hotel bar and restaurant area we're excellent , the staff were all very friendly and helpful, we had an evening meal which we really enjoyed and the breakfast we couldn't fault with so much to choose from . The hotel is central to everywhere just across from the Turkish Baths we were there for two day's and didn't move the car , would definitely return.

United KingdomThe rooms not very big and although looked recently refurbished had started to wear. But suppose that must be because it's popular and bedrooms have become a little tired. Breakfast ok much like a premier inn. But had bar meal in the evening which was not very good value money basic chain food.
