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 StatesThe rooms a very hot, please supply more ways to keep cool. We had to buy our own fans, because the fans in the room did not work and we were told they have no others to give us.

United KingdomA £10.00 per day parking charge which I don't think I was aware of when booking the hotel. When it came to checking-out there was some confusion as to the bill to pay - due I think to the change of tariff with the special deal. It took some time for the staff to get it sorted out -which they did- but I think it could have been done in a more customer-friendly manner because it took over 20 minutes to get a resolution which meant that my wife only just made it to breakfast.
Check-in was quick and efficient, the room convenient and comfortable. Our little dog was made very welcome and had full access throughout the hotel. The location was first class being right in the centre of town but sufficiently far back from main roads so as to be quiet. The meals were excellent for choice and quality and included in our package. The cost of our stay changed quite considerably from the original price due to a special deal being available and we were able to take advantage of that.

United KingdomParking at the back of the property wasn't really available, so we had to pay for street parking. Easy to park on the street and plenty of space, but the reception staff commented the parking is an issue they are working to resolve.
Brilliant location, just outside of the main bustle of the central streets of Harrogate, so much easier to park than other hotels we've stayed in. Comfy bedroom, a decent size and clean bathroom. Tea making facilities, and a wardrobe to store clothes. Breakfast was very nice, and a comfy setting to eat in. Lovely bar area.

United KingdomThere was nothing I didn't like. The staff were very helpful helping me with parking the car and generally getting settled. The hotel was very clean comfortable and the dinner in the restaurant was lovely.
I arrived quite late in the evening and was quite tired but received a very warm welcome from the staff. I was spending some time in Harrogate to do a spa day at the Turkish Baths and then I was planning to see a friend in Stockport.

United KingdomAs above for the food.
Didn’t like the minimal choices for breakfast. Cereals were basic, no porridge - no way of ordering. It was fried eggs or dried out scrambled eggs. We had to collect our own orange juice/water. Then back for coffee then back for toast, then food. Wasn’t happy at this arrangement. We thought we had booked 4 star hotel however the rating was changed to 3 after we booked. For note I am generally easy to please.
