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 KingdomPaying for parking was a bit annoying (£7 for 24 hours) but everything else was great.
Our room was great, so was the bathroom and the staff were really nice! It was a 30-min walk to the centre of York so location was perfect for us.

United KingdomWe chose a superior room, but the one we were allocated didn't look at all like the pictures on the website, which suggested there would be a separate seating area. We booked a half board package but found there was a very limited choice on the menu. The mixed bread sharing platter was very over salted, and the fish and chips were a bit underdone and soggy. So disappointing, in fact, that we ate elsewhere on our second evening.
Although not what we were expecting, our room was quite spacious and comfortable with a decent modern bathroom. All was spotlessly clean, and the pool and sauna cabin were a real bonus. Also, the staff were really helpful and friendly and the restaurant staff in particular did really well with a busy breakfast service.

United KingdomThe jacuzzi wasn’t working and there didn’t appear to be any work taking place to fix it - we tend to choose hotels that have a pool and jacuzzi, so this was a disappointment. It was unusual that the hotel charged for car parking. If there is a problem with people using the car park to travel into York, I can understand that it might be sensible to charge a fee, but I think this should be waived for guests. It felt like an additional tax on the room price.
Spotlessly clean everywhere - room and all communal areas. Very pleasant staff. Good location - walkable to the city centre. Excellent and plentiful breakfast. Nice warm pool.

United KingdomPool was a little small, and with it being school holidays, we struggled to get time in the pool. Some hotels have a cut-off time for children so adults can have a swim.

United KingdomThe extra charge on checking out incorrectly put on (breakfast error) but was swiftly sorted out by the staff on Reception.
The breakfast (after joining the Marriott Bon club) was very good value for money with a fantastic choice of food and cooked very well. The dinner in the Castle Iron Grill restaurant was very delicious. Our children enjoyed the pool facilities. The room we had was very comfortable, clean with nice additions such as the biscuits and quality products in the bathroom and the room setting was exceptionally quiet. We really enjoyed our one night stay! The hydration station was very useful too.
