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 KingdomOur only problem was that when we went back to our car after checking out we found it covered in bird poo in the car park. Even worse was there was dog poo hidden in the long grass where the car was parked. Keep the car park tidy?

United KingdomThe bathroom could have been cleaner although the towels and bed linen were spot on. The hotel could probably do with upgrading in areas but understandably a large undertaking in an old building!

The location is excellent, and the food was of very good standard. There was also a good range of well - 1 kept ales.

United KingdomBed was too soft for my liking but my Wife loved it. :-) As I said before the beer price was hotel prices, not ridiculous just a little high. Saying that we really enjoyed our stay.
The room was spotless, and plenty big enough with plenty of tea and coffee available in the room. The beer prices are a little high but you expect that as it is a hotel. Staff were superb and all very pleasant. Breakfast was to die for and plentiful with no request too much trouble. I would highly recommend that this is the place to stay when visiting Ripon.

United KingdomSausages, bacon. Didn’t know there was parking facilities until we were going home. Had a look where they were and there isn’t a great deal of space.
Breakfast. Plenty to eat. Had a full English. Sausages poor, streaky bacon too streaky and not crisp enough. Back bacon is better. Poached eggs really nice. Well done. . Tomatoes nice. Mushroom ok. Beans ok.Toast nice. Room was nice overlooking Main Street. Comfortable bed. Nice soft fluffy towels. All staff were excellent. Polite and helpful.

United KingdomIt’s an old building so the floor boards creaked a lot!! Also when we got in our room I found a dead small moth in the bath and a box of empty Stella cans in the wardrobe. Staff were very apologetic and assured us that the room had been cleaned.
It was the perfect location right in the town centre. Room was comfy.
