Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 KingdomRoom was poorly decorated, and bathroom terrible. Broken boxing around pipes, and peeling paint. Message received before hand suggested breakfast would be at 8am. Arrived to find no food service was offered on an evening or for breakfast! Extremely expensive for one nights stay in sub standard accommodation.
Great location in centre of Settle

United KingdomRoom was a bit tired, broken tiles in the bathroom, not the best impression. No teabags in the room when first arrived, so had to wait for a cup of tea, but not a big deal.

United KingdomThe place is in need of refurbishment. I rang to check that breakfast was included, the phone was answered by a woman who told me to f*** o** No meals have been available for months. I'm glad to see that meals have been removed from the booking details. After an evening at the theatre we thought we may have a drink on our return at 10.40. We found the bar closed and the building locked up.
The building has great potential. Although the decor was well past it's best the bed was comfortable and clean and the towels were fluffy.

United KingdomThe hotel was not very clean, the door of the shower was off the runners, only 1 towel each. The main disappointment was that we were lead to believe that breakfast was included and in fact at 8am the place was in darkness and closed.we had to pack up and go out for something to eat.
The proprietor was apologetic for the poor service

United KingdomThe property felt a bit like a poorly maintained prison - peeling paint, general feeling of dilapidation. There was no kitchen and I was offered a refund for the lack of breakfast - however when I checked my credit card, I found that instead of a refund, I'd been charged again.
The room was fairly clean and the property was well situated in the middle of Settle.

United KingdomThe room and facilities were not good enough to warrant £115 per night. The bedside lamp was broken, dodgy electrics. The shower wasn't able to get enough pressure so was really noisy. Noisy in general both of and evening and then from 4.15am onwards. And an uncomfortable bed! Not great, we wouldn't return.
Good location for local hikes.
