Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United KingdomPoor communication between Booking.com and hotel - wrong room type offered - no information about pre-payment - no information about DB&B food option - all eventually resolved but very frustrating.
Great hotel with friendly helpful staff and good facilities. Food in restaurant was good.

United KingdomThe room/ bathroom seemed to be a bit dated. The bathroom requires maintenance as the mirrors had rusted at the edges, and there was a large crack in the sink. The shower was not the easiest appliance to operate and the water did not drain down the plug hole. The TV also kept on displaying weak connection signal.
The leisure facilities available provided a lovely addition to our break away. The staff were great and very helpful. The location of the hotel was in walling distance from York City centre. The king-sized bed was comfortable and a good addition to the room.

Location good. Pleasently surprised by facilities, just could be a little more in a larger area. Staff good in all areas. Good spacious room, good sleep.

United KingdomThe steam room and some of the pool areas were dated and worn which was slightly off putting. Our family room had no view (room 920) which was a bit of a shame. The food at the bar was also really expensive.
Staff were friendly. Family room was spacious. The children loved the pool and it was nice to have a smaller pool for them.

United KingdomThe room next to ours was very loud at night constant arguing shouting and furniture being moved plus doors slamming till 3am sat and sun morning as a consequence I could not have the patio door open and even with the fan on I struggled to sleep much . On our departure day we came down to breakfast at 10.29 thinking it was on till 11 only only to be met by the lady on the desk trying to usher us through quickly as her staff we’re tidying away . We declined breakfast and she did apologise for her actions
The room was nice and clean we had a great view from the balcony to the race course. Room service was efficient

United KingdomThere isn't much to say about what went wrong as the hotel is run seamlessly, so i will mention a few personal preferences. The dinner menu did not have a lot of choice for me, it requires a refresh of more simple basic foods(Chicken covered in Cornflakes) although seen this on TV not a good look for a Marriot. the other is the decking from the bar at the back was freshly painted and I went down a step without noticing. when painting steps do the step edge a different colour it is a fire escape route
Stayed in this hotel several time as its location is perfect and the facilities available are superb, as always the staff cannot do enough to make your stay a pleasant and easy as possible. Breakfast is plentiful with a great selection of either full cooked or continental.

United KingdomThe hotel has a swimming pool but it is quite small for the size of the hotel. The Delta was very busy but it is a family hotel next to a major British tourist attraction, It is not a place to stay for a romantic or quiet weekend but does not claim to be either. You have to pay for parking.
The Delta is a large hotel overlooking York racecourse. It is conveniently placed on the main road into the city which is easy to reach via bus or taxi. It has nice gardens that go downhill almost to the racecourse itself. The room was spacious, clean and comfortable. It served out our purpose as a place to stay for a couple of nights while attending an event in York.

United KingdomA few reviews mentioned that they couldn’t get the air conditioning to work, me either, however, two fans were supplied in the room.
The staff couldn’t have been anymore polite or attentive. The facilities and amenities were excellent - pool, spa, gym as well as a hairdryer, iron and fans included in the room. Perfect location for anybody who has a hot air balloon booked - literally backs onto the racecourse, an hourly bus stop just outside or less than £10 in an Uber into the city.

United KingdomDrunk guests coming into the hotel late at night and making a lot of noise. The horse racing was on that weekend, so a lot of drunk chavs in the town and some in the hotel.
Location, was good and had a direct bus into City centre, from just across the road. Breakfast was excellent, lots to choose from. Room was large and comfortable. The pool, spa was really good too. Every member of staff I encountered was really good. Excellent customer service.

I enjoy the location the race course is at the bottom of the hotel garden
