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 KingdomWhilst the room and bedding were clean the decor is a bit tired. The kettle was on the floor as lead didn't reach the top of the chest of drawers and due to uneven floors (old building and we were right at the top) it kept switching on and off. It did work though.
Location, we attended an event in Sandall Park. It was a good price for a large room for 3 people

United KingdomThe coffee at breakfast was instant and not ground/bean, picky I know but I like my coffee.
The breakfast was great, hot and tasty. Plenty of TV's and great if you love sport, the location was right near the centre, easy to go anywhere. They are open to the public when serving breakfast and can get busy.

United KingdomMattress on the bed needs replacing but that being said, we slept okay. The property is a little tired and could do with updating but fine for what we paid.
The hotel was good value for money, the room was basic but clean and comfortable. Staff were friendly and professional. We paid extra for breakfast but it was worth it, we both had full English and it was very tasty.

United KingdomThe room was sparsely furnished. The radiators were turned off when I arrived and, even after turning them on, the room was on the cool side. I doubt that they had been bled for a while. No shelf or towel rail by the wash basin. The bathroom was spartan, with no shelf and only one hook, that was broken. On arrival, the staff were vague about when breakfast would be served.
The cooked breakfast was excellent. The bed was comfortable. Plenty of hot water. An adjacent bus stop for the service into the town centre.

United KingdomWall paper coming off, draws open wouldn’t close. No low Mirror to get ready in. The shower was fine, just couldn’t get it right one min it was boiling hot, you had two mins between to was before noooing hot again. Stayed room 9 at top with own bathroom. Maybe just touch up walls, the holes in wall and the loft to be shut.
I thought it was good value. The pub is a nice place and good atmosphere. The room was clean, the bed was comfy.

United KingdomAs above
There was nothing to like about this place. As I was walking with my daughter 2 and mother-in-law I was shouted at by local drinker drunk out his face. Shouting inappropriate comments to me and my mother in law when entering the property there was a looked like 17 year old behind the bar who couldn't even find the right keys for the room we was to be staying in.when we finally got checked in we went to our rooms where we was greated by a kitchen and hallway with the smell of oil and stairs with stains all over. The rooms was like a Sean out of a movie that not even a dog would sleep in. When we decided we wasn't staying the right we was told we couldn't have a refund and when they tried to refund the money to my mother in law who had payed on the day they took more money out her account and if not checked she would have been binned out of money. In all it took 2 drunks that apparently were management the young girl and another 2 staff that still didn't have a clue what to do. Then a manager on the phone who wanted to see details of a bank account and couldn't take her time to come in to resolve the situation there was no management on site at all. I walked away with no refund or even half a refund renewing a birthday weekend away for my partner.
