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 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.

United KingdomWhat I didn't like was the bottle of prosecco I had with my evening meal was Tesco's own brand in Tesco's its £4.99 per bottle, but when I asked for my bill they had charged a eye watering £36.00 Yes £36.00 and it wasn't a mistake, certainly didn't make that mistake again the night after
I enjoy the location the race course is at the bottom of the hotel garden

United KingdomThe pool needs a bit of maintenance (some mossy patches!) but nice nonetheless. The hotel spreads over a large area so has some very long corridors to get to your room that wouldn’t be great with reduced mobility.
Very large, comfortable rooms, with nice garden views; looking out over the horse racetrack in the distance. A short drive from the city centre (or a 40 minute walk) with a few pubs and a National Trust garden nearby. The pool and sauna were a nice way to start the day!

United KingdomRan out of ice on a Saturday night! The bar staff told us they have three ice machines that all pack up when the temperature picks up. The room was so hot and the Aircon ineffective, I am guessing it wasn't turned on centrally. The breakfast was very good but the bar food and restaurant offering is expensive and average, it's the same menu and charges £20 for a bar pizza! There are pubs just across the road for food. Small things that are easily rectified but wouldn't stop me booking again.
Good location with nice facilities and helpful and welcoming staff. Nice size room and well equipped.

United KingdomI paid for accommodation by card on arrival. Within one minute I received both e-mail and text to advise that an attempt to take a second substantial sum had also been made which my bank had suspended until and unless I agreed it was acceptable. I did not recognise the sum specified so the charge was rejected and I feared that I was being scammed. I asked for an explanation how this additional charge could have occurred and was informed that there had been problems with the computer. This is not an acceptable answer and therefore does not fill me with confidence.
Great location with easy access to regular buses to and from city centre so car left parked throughout stay. Ample food choices for breakfast though the cooked items tended to be dried out unless breakfast taken early. However a request for freshly cooked food was met without censure. Bar area gave long term access to freshly cooked food for snacks. Staffing here and in main restaurant attentive, friendly and helpful.
